Had is sah. the Women's Zionist Or ganizatlon of America, Po de Zion and Mizrachi, with regard to a recent announcement of the formation of an "American Coun¬ cil for Judaism". "The formation by a smal group of rabbis of the so-called "American Council for .ludaisrn' vvho.so avowed object it Is to fight the restoration of I ho Jews as a nation in their own home¬ land, has come as a painful shock to the vast majority of Jews throughout the country. "During the past twenty-five years all the leading groups an<l organizations in American Jew¬ ry have endorsed the Balfour Declaration and associated them- .selves with the movement for the re-establishment of a Jewish National Home in Palestine. The poii^-of that Declaration was enddfse'd by the nations of the world which, in the Mandate, gave official recognition to the status and aims of political Zion¬ ism: it has been unanimously en¬ dorsed by the Congress of the United States. "It is an indication of the sick¬ ness which afflicts Jewish life as a result of centuries of disper¬ sion, that Jews alone among the peoples of the world should find in their midst those who, far from iheiping, would seek to jtlace olistacles in the way of the national rehabilitation of their people. That such an effort should be made at a time when the Jewish ma.sses of Kurope are writhing in a fearful agony, add, an element of heartlessness which future generations will neither forget nor forgive. "The members of this group base themselves on an inlerpre tation of Judaism which is with out foundation either in the Jew ish Scriptin-es, in Jewish tradi¬ tion or in the long history of our people. Uealizing that they cannot ignore the place which Palestine occupies in the heart and minds of Jewry, they would never the nakedness of their op¬ position by admitting that Jews nuiy be entitled to find a refuge in Palestine; but al the same time ibcy destroy any possibility of giving practical effect to this hope by altcniiiting to deny the right of Jews elsewhere to take political action to thai eiui. They pay Up service tt) the idea i)ut would pivveiU the reality. Had lliese views pievailed iji the course of the last two decades, lumdieds of thousands of Jews who liave-been enabled to find a home and hope of a worthy fu¬ ture in Palestine would today have have been helpless victims of the Nazis. "The responsibility for the con¬ flict which impends within American Jewry, If the sponsors of this body proceed with their llahbi Stephen Wise activities, the sole result of which will be to sow confusion. "In their opposition to the Jewish national idea,,these men constitute a very sma'll minority in Jewish life. They seek to turn back the clock, to preserve the Jew forever as a wanderer ^ among the nations, and to re-'^^- verse the magnificient develop¬ ment which the hope of a Zion reborn has created in Palestine. They will fail. They are bound to fail because-they are flying in the face of all the facts and of all the hopes and strivings of the ,lewish |>eoi)le. "The work of rebuilding the Jewish National Home in which American Jewry has played and will continue to play so vital a part, will go on to the day wlien a proud Jewish people restored in its own land will once again lake its place among the na¬ tions".
