16 AMERICANISM AND ZIONISM To tike Editor of the Telegraph: How completely the tables have turned no win reference to the Euro pean attitude to America. But a few years ago all Europe was indulging in fun making of American "rough ness," of American "lack of culture and refinement," of American "ma terialism." The American "almighty dollar" was proverbial. A couple of years ago, a European traveller who visited our country, illustrated Ameri can "materialism." by the following fact. When he was in Europe and asked the distance from one city to another, he was told the number of miles, but when he came here and Watch the Little Pimples; They are Nature's Warning Unsightly and Disfiguring Sig nals of Bad Blood Don't close your eyes to the warn ing which nature gives, when un sightly pimples appear on your face and other parts of the body.

But now Europe is making fun. albeit secretly, of American idealism, of American utopianism, of American too keen sense of justice. The truth of the matter is that the character of a nation is best shown in a crisis. The terrible crisis which we Americans, together with the whole world, went through has proven conclusively as to what stuff we are made of. The greatest war has tried our souls, and it was found that Americanism represents just the opposite of gross materialism. In steps to rid the blood of these dis orders. And the one remedy which has no equal as a purifier is S. S. S., the purely vegetable blood medi cine, which has been on the market for more than fifty years. It is sold by druggists everywhere. If you are afflicted with any form of skin disease, do not expect to be j cured by lotions, ointments, salves j and other local remedies, as they can not possibly reach the source of the trouble, which is in the blood.

Write at once to Swift Specific Co., 260 Swift I Laboratory, Atlanta, Ga. | deed, American true idealism is now pitted against the world's mater ialism. And lam sure that our scale will ultimately outweigh the whole materialism and selfishness that weigh so heavily on the other scale in Kurope just now. During the recent period in the world's history it has been demon strated more than ever before as to what the meaning of the word 1 Americianism really is. It has been shown that it is not only an honor and a privilege, but a sacred duty, to be an American. It has been proven that while as individuals we go about our daily business, as a nation we are bent upon a holy mission, the mission of making not only America, but the whole world as well a lit place to live in. The whole world now knows our attitude towards the problems of war and the problems of reconstruction. The whole world now realizes that the sweet land of liberty believes that liberty does not amount to much if it is but made general and world wide, that one black spot of slavery,, in an obscure corner of the globe, will render worthless the civiliza tion of centuries. And, moreover, the whole world understands that we mean to put our belief into prac tice. Yes, we are a "business people"; we mean business. Such is the power of the momentum of American idealism. I'kindamcntal Principles Now, that the fundamental prin ciples of Judaism and Americanism conincide has been pointed out again and again. That the Jews as_ a nation have, like the American Na tion, been given a mission too, the mission of spreading monotheism, light, and freedom can be found in many passages of the Bible and the Tolmund. And that everything that is constructive in American insti tutions is the very essence of our faith can be seen at a glance. Every thing that real Bolshevism stands for is to the Jew detestable. His I traditions wed him to law and order, | make of him a legalist. The Bolshe vists are the enemies of law and order. The Jpw makes the very cen ter of his life and of his existence the family and the home. The Bol shevists decry marriage and contemn j morality. The Jew is justly noted j for being thrifty and provincial, I recognizing as necessary, the insti tution of property. The Bolshevist is seeking the destruction of the very concept of property. The great mass of the Jews are faithful to I their brethren in distress. The club jof the Bolshevist knows no blood relation and despises religion. In deed the Jew is the very incarnation I of constructive American-like ideal | ism. And whenever and wherever 'idealism is worsted Judaism is in directly attacked. When our great President Wilson's idealism was made fun of in Europe, 1 felt hurt, not only as an American, but as a Jew as well. For our prophel Is aiah, the real father of the League of Nations idea was ridiculed. Any one that is not a real idealist has no right to call himself Jew anymore than he has the right to call himself know that the "Kaiser" shocked the world more by his sacriligious appeal to "Gott" than by his unspeakable brutality. Consequently, If the Jews as a nation and the Americans have a common aim—the aim of high ideal ism, genuine freedom and social jus tice—why all that foolish and irre sponsible talk on the part of a hand ful of traitors about a "double allegi ance" or "dual citizenship"'.' Aside from the fact that among ttie best and foremost American citizens are those Irishmen who are for a home land for their brethren on the other side, and aside from the preposter ous attitude that would assume that a born Frenchman could not be an American citizen, look how the Sat urday Evening Post defines the word "nation." (1 have the clipping be fore me. It appeared in one of the issues of last month). Here is what this weekly says: "If a common de scent, a common mother-tongue and the inheritance of common traditions were necessary to the making of a nation, the case of the limited states with its many races and mother tongues would be hopeless; but even Count William Hohenzollern now knows that the United States is a veritable nation. * * * * 'The pursuit of common aims and their being exposed to the common peril and a common struggle against that peril fruse different races into one nation. Real nations will grow across the boundary lines the peace conference sets up for the time be ing. By the same token, a league of nations, expressing a common purpose and defense against a com mon danger, will attract the loyalty and sentiments of those who live under it, until It finally becomes as vital a human co-operation as is Hie United States." In other words, the United States, England, France, Italy are in a sense one nation and have, in a sense, one common, invisible flag. Why? Because they have common aims and are exposed to common dangers, although they occupy different territories, nay, dif erent continents. Jews Victimized Why. then, "pick on" the Zionists because they have a banner to repre sent their aims and ideals which are identical to American aims and ideals, viz., to help presecuted, out raged and massacred Israel by re gaining for him his ancient home land Palestine? Jews have been victimized throughout the centuries. We attribute this awful circumstance to the awful fact that Jews as a nation have no home of their own. It is such a grievous fault that we Zionists try to remove once for all the stigma from our people, the stigma of being the historical vaga bond? And what are the Zionistic aims in Palestine, the land of our fathers? To establish a form of government which should, like America, be a model of justice, of equality, and of freedom. The world has been shaken to its very founda tions. Forms of government must be reorganized. There is one coun try the whole world must copy if it is to endure, nay, if it is to sur vive. All governments must be pat terned after our model, the glorious United States. The Jews in Pales tine will be the first to adopt and transplant American idealism on the soil of their ancestors. All that the Zionists aim at is to make in Pal estine a "little America" under a pro phetic civilization. We do not care for the "diplomacy" of the old world: we want to copy American straight forwardness. Jill now the custom of the world wis that when Zionism or autocracy was endangered an other autocratic country rose to the rescue. But a new era is dawning now. Under the League of Nations when freedom will be endangered— and it will be exposed to peril for a long time yet—another free and idealistic country will come to the rescue. And should American ideals and institutions be imperiled by air plane, will the Jewish nation of Pal estine send its army, profits, and prophets to protect the blessed spot in creation —America. Prophets won this war too, the prophets of justice. The war has established the fact that a nation in order to justify its existence must have a civilization, an ideal, a constructive mission. Otherwise, it could be called a gang of maranders but not a nation. We Jews have a distinctive civilization a distinctive mission. We are a Na tion of Idealists, a Nation of "Ameri cans." Americanism to us is syn omynous with idealism. Our ideals are essentially American ideals. Or shall? say that American ideals are essentially our ideals, the ideals of the Bible, of the prophets? Our Jewish nation deserves and has the right to assert its historic claim to Palestine. There is no contradiction between the Jewish and the Ameri can flags. Even those Jews that will live in Palestine will be "Americans," Americans in the noblest sense of the word. It is the love of true freedom that brought us Jews to these blessed shores of Americanism. Jews have always been, and will al ways remain, Americans. Jews were Americans even before Columbus ever set sail to discover India. And Jews will remain Americans, the true character of whom has been shown during the last crisis, even if they should live on the star Mars. And here I wish to go on record as say ing that it is better to live on Jupi ter and be an American than to live In Washington, D. C. and be an un- American. RABBI MOSES RUMANOFF.
