There was in 1900 no such opportuni-
ty and no such campaign method.
If we mean business we need sur
vey of Zionist finances since 1897 in
order that we may know where we
are at. =
Inverting the issue because of the
pressure of events, let us ask our
selves seriously what we mean, or
what the mandate means, by Jewish
Agency. It is new phrase like the
mandate, and mandate has not been
interpreted to mean what we thought
it meant. What are the limitations of
the Jewish Agency. How do we think
it should function? Of whom should
it be composed? The man who can
give a glib answer could go to his
own child's funeral with smile-for
the Jewish Agency may make or
break the Zionist Organization. The
answer: "Call Jewish World Con-
gress," is no answer. There is no
wisdom in a multitude of unprepared
councillors. If the Jewish Agency is
to be a purely political body, it will
affect the Zionist Organization in
far different manner than if it is a
fnancial-economic-p political body. If
the Zionist Organization becomes the
Jewry Agency, the Zionist Organiza-
ton must be changed just as the deci-
sion of the United States Supreme
Court has changed the position of the
American Labor Unions. A response
BILE political body can have no loose
adherents. If the Zionist Organiza-
ton adds other bodies to it to COM
pose the Jewish Agency, and the
Jews have to deal with the Jewish
Agency in all Palestinian work, then
there arises the question, what is the
advantage of membership in the Zion
list Organization I am only throw
ing off problems like sparks from an
anvil. One can do no more in seeking
to force thinking on basic problems,
for in the composition and character
of the Jewish Agency, I see the basic
question of the existence, need, pur-
pose and character of the Zionist Or
ganization itself.
I am not afraid that I am ques-
tioning the need for the existence of
the: Zionist Organization. I am not
sure that I am, because have views
on the solution of the problem, but
am willing to see even that funda-
mental discussed. For the Zionist
Organization does not exist for it's
own sake: It is merely an instrument
for the Zionist goal and if the purpose
can be better achieved in some other
way, by some new instrument, I am
willing TO consider that idea also.
Anyhow. this problem, so fateful for
the future, should not be reasoned out
on any aprfori basis, that this or that
must survive. g@T77

Bonnie Leonard, SO gossip along
Broadway goes, is to appear in a COM
edy by Samuel Shipman next season.
At least Bonnie will be sure of making
a hit-in the play, if nowhere else.
Bonnie, we asseverate, basing our
opinion on the witty monologues he
has given at various benefits, is al
most as good an actor, as he is
business man.

terians or with Quakers. I object to
Jews separating themselves from the
rest of the American people. The
trouble with some Jews is that they
do want to separate, but they RE-
FUSE TO ACCEPT THE CONSE-
QUENCES OF SUCH SEPARATION.
I can't see much use in the proposal
of congressional investigation in the
Harvard restriction matter suggested
by Cleveland congressman. What
good will it do? Harvard has spoken
on the subject and so has the country.
The sentiment Of the nation is one
of disapproval and that should be suf-
ficient. Nothing will be gained by an
investigation except to bring out a
great deal of inaccurate information.
I feel sure that in the circumstances
Harvard will possibly modify it's
original program without publicly an
nouncing it. -.

German Women Are
Urged To Carry
-. Gas Pistols
BY Universal Service.

BERLIN, June 4.-"Walk in
the middle of the street and
carry a gas pistol or blank car
fridge gum" is the advice the
Berlin Tageblatt gives to women
who are compelled to be out late
at night. The advice is in an
swer to many complaints of mo-
lestation and robbery Of women
on the streets.
"The paper says it is regretta-
BILE, but fact that the old-time
chivalry toward women is dying
out. The Tageblatt warns women
that carrying a revolver is often
more dangerous than a human
foe. 1t points out that the new
gas pistols whose gas cartridges,
stupify and knock senseless, but
do not kill are the right kind of
weapons for women to use to pro-
tect themselves against a rob-
ber or insulting molestor."

main fight in the primary campaign
against the industrial court act was
made by labor unions. through their
state organization and several anti
taxation leagues which selected Fred

Returns show Knapp ran a poor
fifth in a field of seven candidates
and carried but II county -Salina
