SokoloW He IS personally mceresteu ID the movement.
 The speaker reviewed briefly the events 1 leading up to Balfours declaration dur- ing the war days, and he told of the | resolution in favor of the movement l unanimously adopted by the United | States senate.
 MT. Sokolow sah there is still one I thing missing to make Palestine political ly known throughout the world, and thatsl Is it's adm:ttance to the league of na- tons. Potentially, I consider this an ac- complished fact. the speaker said.
 Morally VIC are sure of Americas sup port. It has been said America has not spoken. ! have always said America has spoken. The speaker said he is very sure the league of nations will very soon ad- nit Palestine to membership You all 1 know how vitaEthat Is to us, so that the work can begin, he said. Your senate's resolution will help very much.
 What Is the greatness of the Jewish national home? What Is the connection between this great idea and humanity? The Jewish national home in Palestine is essentially of the world. This proposi- ton Is proposition of peace. He spoke briefly of the conditions in the Near East and of the discussion of the Near East question in the peace conference. He spoke of the disappear auC9 or 1uIklBn rue 1EOu Il0 NCdT 6dSL and said that wherever Turkish rule dis appears, 1t disappears forever. The peace 1 conference took up the question of what ] was to become of the Near East. It was l the unanimous opinion that new order 1 of things should be instituted. Palestine
 was given to the Jewish people. Tine majority of the Arabs are with us in this movement. There is no doubt but that Jerusalem and Damascus will again become great capitals. (Applause.) Judea
 is not only very dear to the Jews but is very dear to the Christians because of it's | holy associations.
 We are proud of Palestine and we are
 interested in it. We are not meddling in | the question of holy places. We have i holy places of our own in Palestine
 Jerusalem will become the source of
 peace. The league of nations will never
 become perfect until the United States participates. When your great country will participate in the league of nations
 this same senate which passed the reso-
 lution favoring Palestine's rebuilding, the
 other day, will propose as a center for | the league of nations not Brussels or Genoa; they will propose as a real center
 of peace Jerusalem. (Applause.) ] I have been through all your wonder ful country. I have been welcomed in many cities, and I have had many 1 Christians as we'll as Jews in my audi ences., They come to the Jewish meet 1 ings since Zion sm came to be. They are 1 attracted. The movement is uniting Jew and Christian.
 Some people say. our movement is
 dream. It is dream-a wonderful dream it is not nightmare. Those who 1 oppose us don't know what they are op-
 posing. They don't know-t the Jewish na-
 tional home has become a fact They l don't know what is happening. Our duty | now is to justify the expectat, ons, and to make real Jewish national home It
 can be made a home country, civilized,
 free full of freedom. and not allowed to
 remain in state Of infancy, a state of weakness
 The instrument which is being used to
 build u3 this Jewish national home is the l keren Havesod. We have been trus. etl by the nations of the world with 2 m:s- sion. Let it be our pledge to show the ! league of nations what the Zionist nation i can accomplish in the land of it's fathers l At the close of Hr. Soko,ow's address !.
