The politician, said MoWrer, must
be put into the position of saying,
What must I do before you get
off my neck"
For the Jews to take the Pal
estine question into American pol
iticS is of course to depart from
traditional procedures. We did
not get the BalfOur Declaration
that way. The story goes that
DIR. Weizmann rendered a great
scientific service for England in
the first World War and good old
Lloyd George in appreciation,
asked DR.. Weizmann, "What re-
ward do you want?" DIR. Weiz-
mann replied, "For myself, 1 want
nothing, but I want something
for my people"
Nowadays, it appears, govern
ments do not work in this fash
ion. They tender no rewards.
And as a matter of fact, we want
no reward. We demand a little
simple justice.
There is little TaImudic in
depreciation of the Cain and Abel
incident which we might we'll re-
call. The Talmud says that when
Cain after the murder of his
brother, exclaimed, cam I my
brothers keeper" God replied
quite differently from what it
has been generally assumed.
| It is commonly taken that God
said, Certainly, you are your
brothers keeper" But the fact,
is, said the Talmud, that Cain was
evading the question and God
said nothing about Cain being his
brothers keeper, but said, "Who
asked you to be your brothers
murderer"
This is a much prOfOundeT
thought - and we Jews seem
ingly are becoming profound, too
now. We are tired of rewards
and gifts - Of the generosity Of
nations. Generosity itself is of.

las did the Nazis. When they
nailed the White Paper onto Pal
estine to keep the Jewish refugees
out, they were as guilty of ex-
terminating the Jews as the build
/ ers of the Nazi gas chambers.
Zionism has embarked definite
| ly on a new political policy. We
have tested this policy in presi-
Dental election years. Then the
candidates of all major parties be-
come ardently Zionists. If cleo
lions were to be held in America
now, it is certain that the British,
in Palestine, would have acted
very differently than they have
been lately. The British have
reached a state in their Empire
where they must watch the Amer
lean elections almost as closely
as the Americans themselves, for
the British know that in any
emergency, American assistance
will be necessary to pull their
chestnuts out of the fire.
Once before, American JeWry
resOrted to this new kind OF
strategy to obtain the redress of a
great wrong. 1t was during the
administration of President Taft.
Jews then called for the abrOga-
ton of the commercial treaty
with Russia on the ground that
American Jews were denied the
right granted every other Ameri-
can of entering Russia. The ma
tionaI administration then did not
want to go to the extreme of
abrOgatiOn of the treaty. Jacob

Walking down the boardwalk
at the recent Zionist convention
in Atlantic City, I heard a news
boy crying:
"Get your morning papers. Read
DIR. Silver'S speech"
I have been to many Zionist con-
ventions, but never before saw
anything like this. The news
boys are alert to the selling value
of Zionist news. Zionist news has
a cash value.
One had only to Inger while
in the press room of MIR. Bar
baraSh at the Breakers to see how
Zionist conscious the American
press has become. The various
press associations, the Associated
Press. United Press and so on,
were as eager for news seemingly
as the Day and the Forward.
This is a development of prime
Importance. It must be regarded
as one of the present Zionist as
sets, along with the Keren Keye-
meth and the Keren Hayesod. Per-
haps we should call it the Keren-
Shel-Maalah. Hayesod means of
the foundation, of the ground;
Maalah means of the things which
are above = of the domain of the
mind.
News value in the final anaIy-
sis is pressure value" and we
must make the most Of it. Make
the most of it against MIR. Bevin

Party of England is itself a Gre
alton of the same type of pressure
group.
