came to put to the test the in
tentions of that section of Amer
ican Jewry who showed only a
faint interest in the reconstruc-
tion of a Jewish homeland in
Palestine.
AS in every other country, the
non-Zionists in America have
held aloof from participating in
the rebuilding of Palestine, as
they have felt it impossible to
compromise certain principles
which they thought would inter-
fere with their daily life if they
joined hands with the Zionists.
And DR.. Weizman has come to
answer all their objections.
DR.. Weizman's visit to the
United States today is to organ
ize a Jewish Agency which shall
take upon themselves the re-
sponsibility of fulfilling the Bal
four Declaration. The Jewish
Agency is not wholly a Zionist
organization. 1t was the main
desire of the Zionists to rebuild
Palestine, which made the Jew
ish Agency the possession of the
Zionist organization. England's
offer to aid in the upbuilding of
Palestine was made through the
Zionist organization to all the
Jewish people. Because of the
fact that the Zionists responded
so enthusiastically that the Jew
ish Agency actually was taken
over by the Zionists. But origin
ally, the Jewish Agency was Of
fered, as stated in the mandate,
to all Jewry, and all Jewry is in
vited to participate in its duties
and privileges.
DR.. WeiZman came to us as
the President of the World Jew
ish Agency. Naturally, as the
president of the World Zionist
Organization, he will try to
strengthen the Zionist effort,
but he does this as the head of
the strongest constituent factor
of the Jewish Agency.
really believe that DR.. Weiz-
man, who is a very discrete per-
son and a clever personality, will
carry on his work quietly and
patiently and will accomplish his
mission. In having made himself
the representative of the Agency
proposals at Carlsbad, he is firm
in his belief that he shall inter-
est those people who have al
ways stood aloof.
Now is the time for those Jews
who heretofore would not help
in the reconstruction work be-
cause they did not care to work
hand in hand with the Zionists,
to prove whether they were sin
cere in their objections, or whe-
ther they merely wanted to be
excused from exerting them
selves. | hope that all the jew
ish people, Zionists and nom
Zionists, will combine to answer
the call of our great leader and
statesman, DR.. Chain Weizman.

All greatness, all development,
no matter of what nature, are
the result of human effort and
if this is Systematically discour-
aged we can't expect either
greatness or development to go
on no matter how many rich and
influential people may live in our
community even if they are will
ing to spend all their wealth
building magnificent houses and
towering office and business
blocks for our city, because these
buildings must naturally be oc-
cupied by a prosperous and active
people.
1t is generally admitted there
is something wrong with Denver,
that we are not taking full ad-
vantage of the natural oppor-
tunities both climatic and topo-
graphical. We are not only not
growing fast enough, but there
are indications that we are los
ing population. That is crime
and clique which stands in the
way of our true progress is re-
sponsible.
We are in the exact position of
the unfortunate heirs to big
estates who are satisfied to live
upon their inheritance without
adding anything to it. 1t is high
time that Denver emancipated
herself from the leadership of
the obstructionist and relied in
stead upon a concerted action Of
all the people who can accomplish
anything that is desired and can
do it, independent of the assist
ance of the rich.
Until these common people, the
small business man, the profess
sional man, and the artist, come
to life, exert themselves and de-
mand a hearing, we will make no
natural progress and we will be
doomed to nediocrity.
Every intelligent visitor here
is impressed with our wonderful
possibilities and astonished at
how little is done to further our
development. We who live in
Denver are blind. We cannot see
the good that is before us.
The great movement just
started to celebrate the opening
of the Moffat tunnel should be
organized now among all classes.
Labor unions, artists, profes-
sional men, merchants, manu-
facturers, musicians, everybody
should be called on right now,
to organize to bring realization
to this great idea. And every
group should get a hearing.
1t isn't necessary to ask for
petty suggestions. If each one
of these units prepares one idea
which comes anywhere near rep
resenting its capabilities, we
won't need TO go outside Denver
to look either for talent or sug-
gestions. We will have a program
the equal of which never was
undertaken anywhere.
1t isn't necessary to wait until
1926 to start this celebration. A
beginning should be made next
summer, at the latest, with Sc
i'ies of public events leading up
to the celebration proper.
Millions of dollars are raised
here annually for charity. This
is very laudable. But how many
hundreds of dollars are raised
for commercial and industrial
development which might elimi-
nate the necessity for these char
liable enterprises? We are not
orientals who believe beggars are
necessity upon whom we may
practice our charitable inclina-
tions and who may give us tang
ible proof of our innermost good
ness.
We can help the unfortunate
The Denver Jewish news., 1923-12-13
n NILLIONS are spent every
IN year in Denver for adj
.vI yertisements to promote

AVA vertisements to promote
the sales of merchants. There
is constant effort on the part
of the storekeepers to stimulate
the desire of the public for new
things. But all these great
money spenders seem to think
only of direct results of the day
and in the scramble for more
and more business they seem to
forget the most essential thing
and neglect the creation and
maintenance of a constant spirit
of optimism which will insure
good business all the time.
To create such desired con-
dition may seem impossible to
some of our hard-headed busi-
ness men always reluctant to go
into fields that are untried. 1t
may be well to call to their at
tention the natural aversion they
have always had toward the So
called "town booster" who has
been looked upon with certain
degree of distrust and who never
theless has always succeeded in
bringing about a new spirit in
his community if he received
any kind of encouragement.
We may have outgrown the
crude circus methods of the old
time town ballyhooer but we
have not found a substitute to
take his place. The noisy agitator
may jar on our nerves, but he
makes US sit up and take notice.
We need him to stir us into ac-
ton. Even if only little is ac-
complished at the outset, that
little paves the way to greater
deeds.
There are about a half dozen
big business houses in our city
which are always approached by
anyone who conceives a new
idea which he thinks may bene-
fit him and the city. 1t is but
natural that these half dozen, to
safeguard themselves, should be
inclined to lend only half an ear
to the many propositions pre-
sented in the course of week.
The easiest way to get rid of
these enthusiasts is to discour-
age them all. More than
this, some of these business
houses maintain organizations
for the sole purpose of giving
their encouragement an official
stamp. They are all attuned to
the negative side of life and too
little effort is made to even in
vestigate the merits of many
propositions in which the pro-
moters are often willing to pay
experimental costs.
Why then should anyone make
the effort to improve a condition
where no hope is held out that he
may receive reward eventually
if he has proven his case? There
was time, not so long ago, when
every suggestion for improve
ment could find a hearing. That
was the period of the greatest
development of this country.
That was the time when the
foundations were laid for our
present greatness.
We are still feeding on this
stored up energy of the past. The
writer is familiar with new
enterprise which was launched
here few weeks ago and which
the promoters are conducting at
an actual loss of $500 a week.
1t is an enterprise which not
alone is legitimate but will do
much for the upbuilding of the
city. Nevertheless, it is not only
failing to receive any encourage
ment from our different CONNER
lcial organizations but it is actual
ly frowned upon as an intruder.
Now, it doesn't matter whether
this new enterprise is manu-
