Storrs’ home, during his last visit

That the action of the Senate will
insure the final ratification of the
British Mandate for Palestine, was
the opinion expressed by Nahum Sok-
olow, President of the World Zionist
Executive. “This expression of sym-
pathy to the Zionist cause by a great
legislative body like the Senate will
undoubtedly have a tremendous effect
upon the whole civilized world. Pres-
ident Harding has previously given
us his assurance of sympathy to Jew-
ish aspirations in Palestine, and con-
sequently the final adoption of this
joint resolution by the House and the
signature of the President is a fore-
gone conclusion.”
Nathan Straus
“You have stood steadfast at all timcB. You have never wav- f
ered. Your life has been rugged, but* it has been something t
that you can look up to, something that you ca?. anchor to, and T
no matter how the sea may have been beating against you, and i
no matter what a sea of troubles may have confronted you, f
literally and in every other sense, you have not been shaken. t
Our hope and prayer is that you may be spared many years to ;;
stand as a guardian rock with the Jewry of America and the ;;
Jewry of the world; that no matter how strong the sea may “
run, no matter what opposition you may encounter, you will “
always rise victorious over all the manifold difficulties of life “
as you did during this memorable campaign, a campaign with- “
out precedent. “
Your achievement is one that will be written large, not only in ”
the history of American Israel, but in the history of the Jewry -
of the world. (From Mr. Marshall’s address at the <>
" God bless you!” Victory Banquet, Detroit, April 9, 1922) <>

names of Mr. Louis Lipsky and Mr.
Abraham Goldberg in the Golden
Book of the Jewish National Fund

Mr. Edlin D. Stone of Boston, who
had been informed in a telegram from
Mr. Redmond, secretary to Senator
Lodge of the unanimous adoption by
the United States Senate of the Pal-
estine Resolution declared that he
and Mr. Robert .Silverman of Boston
had ser.t telegrams to all the Zionists
of Boston, informing them of Senator
Lodge’s telegram. The Zionists of
Boston arranged for an inpromptu
celebration for the same evening.
Samuel Untermeyer, Honorary
Chairman of the Palestine Founda-
tion Fund Campaign, in expressing
pleased with the action of the Senate
said:
“The passing of the Lodge Resolu-
tion fills me with pride and satisfac-
tion. Oui’ government’s official rec-
ognition of Zionist aims will bring
new hope and new courage to our co-
religionists in the Eastern Countries.
“Senator Lodge deserves our ever-
lasting thanks for the noble stand he
has taken toward securing justice and
freedom for the Jewish people.”
The new Palestine, official organ
of the Zionist Organization, carries
the following editorial on the subject
in its issue of May 5th, entitled
“America Speaks.”
“Just as we go to press the news
reaches iis by wire that the resolu-
tion giving the moral support of
America to the Jewish National
Homeland in Palestine has been
passed unanimously by the Senate.
“It is the expected result, but the
news is none the less inspiring. It
was not to be expected that the repre-
sentatives of this democracy would
turn back a resolution which was in
essence a declaration of -international
denior.racy^,^..
resolution, and the voice of America
could not be raised against the^des-
perate appeal of a disinterested peo-
ple.
“It would be unbecoming to ex-
press thanks to the Senate for its act-
ion. An act of pure justice does not
call for thanks. But it is something
happy to dwell on, this spectacle of a
great and disinterested nation utter-
ing clean judgment in the immemorial
case of the Jew vs. Exile.
“Nor would it fit the dignity of the
occasion to make more than passing
mention of the wretched and trifling
opposition which developed during the
hearings before the Committee on
Foreign Relations of the House. Let
those that levelled their accusation of
un-Americanism against the Resolu-
tion now follow up their argument,
if they dare, and impeach for treason
the Senate of the United States.
“More fitting at this moment is the
thought of the new efforts which the
event must inspire. A disinterested
spectator vouches today for the jus-
tice of our cause. Let it be the will of
the Jewish people, in whose hands
the issue rests, that justice be done,
so that the instrument which is to
create the Jewish Homeland be made
perfect for its task.”
