Nations. Now, it does not make any
difference what the ultimate future in
Palestine is to be so far as we are
concerned. We, as an organization,
are concerned only with this-there
is the land of our fathers; there are
our brethren going and wanting to
go there by the hundreds of thousands
there is land which, if developed,
if fully developed so that it may be
not only brought to it's highest pow
ers agriculturally, but also Industrial
ly, is capable, according to the best
experts, of maintaining in decency
anywhere from three to six million
people,
Let us assume that it is not the solu-
tion of the Jewish problem at ALL
Opinions differ Let us assume that
the minimum that I have given you
is wrong; that it is only million
Jews that can go there. Even if there
be only that many-it is the one ray
of hope offered our brethren who are
in the blacklist of despair in Eastern
Europe. And that is the basis of our
activities. That is the reason why we
believe there is a duty on the part Of
prosperous Jewry all over the world,
but primarily in America, of course,
to help lay the foundations on which
that million or two million or five mil
lion Jews can build, and can build
for themselves, home and life and
civilization and industry and agricul-
ture, that will make them self-sup-
porting, that will not bring fortunes to
the individual, but that we trust will
keep whatever million there may be
there, from slum life or from the
overcrowded conditions that prevail
in the Jewish centers Of Eastern Eu-
rope and even in this country.
Charity Work
There is much that is to be done,
and will continue to be necessary in
the way Of charity. For some time
to come, assistance must be given
both to the present population and
those new immigrants. They have
their orphans, widows and aged; they
need some help in the schools and
sanitation. But you cannot build up
a land on charity. You cannot make
the Jews over there self-sustaining
or .self-respecting on charity And the
finest thing about the generation of
pioneers, and they have been pioneers
for forty odd years, both the present
and new generation of pioneers, young
men and women, university bred,
trained to be physicians, engineers,
lawyers, architects, and what not, who
are tramping down through Eastern
Europe seeking Palestine, and despite
all hardships and suffering, rejoicing
when they get there-these ChaluZim
Il say the finest thing about the old
and new, is that they do not want
charity. What they do want, what
they ask the Jews of the world,
is that we who can afford it, have
some stake with them in Palestine,
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1922-08-11

that we who are not going there, evil
dence our kinship and our feeling
towards them and recognize our duty
both to our ancestry and our des-
cendents by doing something that will
enable the Jews who go to Palestine
to be the kind of Jews of whom we
can all be proud. Because the world
has decided-it is not open to ques-
tion any more-they are going to be
held up as the typical Jews, these
Jews of Palestine, and we in mea-
sure are going to be judged by them.
We always are judged as people,
seldom individually.
The P. D. C.
Now, there are organizations that
are attending to the charity end of
the work. We who started the Pales-
tine Development Council, started it
because we believed that in the ma
ture of things, any charity work must
be clearly and absolutely differentiat-
ed from constructive investment busi-
ness-that the two cannot be inter-
mingled in any sense whatever, that
the differentiation ought to be marked
as we have come to believe in the
course of the last year, by an entirely
different organization, that marks in
itself more clearly than anything else
the distinction between the two
things, and between the two we believe
the business upbuilding Of that land is
the more important. And because Of
that, year ago, on the 4th of July,
when some of us gathered together
to make concrete these thoughts, we
decided to create business organiza-
ton. We started million dollar Del
aware corporation for the purpose of
giving credits in Palestine because
that, at the time, was thought by Sir
Herbert Samuel and others to be the
most essential thing, and to give
credits first in the way of helping the
Credit Unions, because we all believe
that in little land like that, it was
more essential to foster the spirit Of
cooperation by cooperative enterprise
than to do anything else. And then
as second business undertaking, the
next most essential thing was credits
for building of homes. When we set
out on the first undertaking we found
Immediately that other organizations
interested in Jewish work like the
Reconstruction Committee of the Joint
Distribution Committee and the I. G.
A. (Jewish Colonization Association)
of Paris, which spends Baron Roths-
child's money in Palestine, and COM
posed primarily Of non-Zionists, like
the London Economic Board of which
Sir Alfred Mond and Sir Robert
Valley Cohen are at the head, which
has on it's directorate some of the
wealthiest Jews of Great Britain, and
mostly non-Zionists- agreed with us
on these fundamental questions and
were ready to join hands with us in
establishing this first Credit Union

Most Of the big advances have been

at escape ana a yearnng hope for n

mulutudes prepare the material for
every advance but the largest multi

advance, which ought to abolish every
thought Of individual glory, ana cure
all childish impatience with the mp

short successes that can be gained IN

not worth much. The tree that lives

State Opens Fight
TO Break Will of
Wealthy Teacher
Attorney General Alleges
Miss Picrson, Who Left
$4,000 Estate to Actress,
Acted Under Influence

The contest brought by Attorney
General Newton to set aside the VIII
of Miss Mary J. Pierson, for many
years n public school teacher, who lett
most of her estate, valued at more thar
$4,000, to Marie Shotwell, motion
picture actress living at the Hotel Sey
mour, came to trial yesterday before
Surrogate Cohaan and n jury. Miss
oPierson left no heirs or next to kin,
so far as Is known. and the purpose Of
the Attorney General. VINO alleges that
the testatrix was influenced in making
her will, is to have tho estate turned
over to the state, to be held in case
any heir at law is discovered.
Miss Pierson and Miss Shotwe1 had
been friends for five years, and it was
the custom of the teacher to have din
ner with the actress on each Christmas
Day. Miss Pierson referred to Miss
Shotwell in her will as "my dear child
and friend"
Miss Shotwell was in court yestcr-
day but did not testify One OF the
witnesses was Fanny Mahar, formerly
an actress, but who worked for the
testatrix as cleaner. She was wit
ness to the signing Of the will, in which
Miss Mahar was bequcathed $500.
Another witness of the will who tes-
tjfed was Jessica Williams, nurse.
Miss Mahar and Miss Williams said
they went to the home Of Miss Pierson
on the day the will was executed, tha.
Miss Shotwell wrote the document as
the testatriX dictated to her and after
Miss pierson had signed she asked
them TO sign as witnesses. Cortland a
Johnson, Deputy Attorney General
cross examined Miss Williams and on,
tanned from her an admission that she
had told him in his Office that she had
not been asked by Miss Picrson to sign
as a witness
Gertrude Staples, a nurse. testified
that she had heard the school teacher
say she wanted all Of her estate to go
to Miss Shotwell. The trial Will be
continued to-day, when the Rev. Or
W. n. Guthrie. rector Of st. Marks
IN the Bouwerie; John Brooks Leavitt
and Luther Little will be called as wit
