Status of Zionist
Situation, National
Zionist RoD Call
Tyler, Texas.—The following is a
statement from David Wuntch, pres-
ident of the Texas Zionist Associa-
tion in regard to the status of the
Zionjst situation and the National
Zionist Roll Call furnished at the re-
quest of the Herald and other publi-
cations throughout the State:
“The rebuilding of Palestine by
Jews differs fundamentally from all
other activities our time. This is a
movement to aid not individuals, but
an entire people. Help is asked not
for the support of the we&k, not on
the plea of charity, but for strong!
healthy pioneers eager to work for
the renaissance of the Jewish people.
The primnry purpose of the Zionist
Roll Call is to make the American
Jew conscious of his responsibility to
Palestine and to make him the more
eager to' carry on that responsibility
in a tangible and constftictiVe man-
ner.
“The recent disturbances in the
Holy Land and the atrocities commit-
ted against our brethren, while dis-
heartening, do not discourage us. The
original aim of making Kretz Yisroel
(Palestine). in fact and in truth the
Jewish National Homeland must con-
tinue. Mob rule and terrorism will
not deter us.

Rochester, N. Y.:—(JDB)—James
Waterman Wise, tho son of Rabbi
Stephen S. Wise, and author of the
book, "Jews Are Like That,” took
the negative side in a debate at Tem-
ple Berith Kodesh here upon the sub-
ject,' "Can Jews Be Assimilated?”
His opponent was Prof. Mortimer
Adler of, the psychology department
of Columbia University. Professor
Ad.ler is on tho staff of the New
York “Evening Post” and is also a
frequent contributor to the periodi-
cals. Mr. Wise- declared'that the in-
stinct for group-perpetuation' is as
normal as the instinct for self-per-
petuation, He said that even uni-
versal geniuses proceed out of a
group and express their own group
as well as all humanity.
He maintained that Jews could not
become assimilated even if they
wanted to because the world would
not kit them. He mentioned a num-
ber of promineJews who had tried
to become assimilated and had failed,
among them, Heine', Disraeli, Ilerzl,
BrandeiS and Levvisohn. Replying to
the main contention q/ Professor Ad-
ler, that the: individual needs free-
dom from all group restrictions in
order to develop oompletely, Mr,
Wise bjiaUght out the important point
that there can be no Individual out-
Aide of tho group. * Jcwh should lourn

Noted Arab Debate
Palestine Situation

Rihani, a native of Syria, Arabic
scholar und poet and confidante of
Afah rulers, and Jacob De Haas,
leader in Zionistic circles and author
of "The Life of Theodore Herzl,”
met in a bitter argument in this city
in a debate arranged between the two
men by the “Town and Country”
Club of this city and under the aus-
pices of the Foreign Policy Associa-
tion) with Rev. Willis II. Butler pre-
siding.
Rihani ussorted that the only solu-
tion to the present problem in l’al-
otffine was a redrafting of the Bal-
four Declaration of 1917 wherein tho
sanction of the western powers is ac-
corded in the Zionist movement. He
claimed this amounts to an affront
against, the Arabians and a breach of
faith on the part of Great Britain
that as a reward for the Arnbs’ par-
ticipation in the World War they
would be allowed to set up their own
empire.

President Hoover
Dissatisfied With
Immigration Quota
Washington.— (JDB) — President
Hoover, in his message read before
both houses of congress, expressed
approval of immigration restriction,
hut indicated his dissatisfaction with
the percentage basis'‘of the quota
system and .reyotnmendj.U that eon-
gross devise a ; hew system based on
tlm fitness of the immigrants as to
physique, charncter, training and
“our need of service,” The presi-
dent suggested some system of prior-
ities within the quotas, which at the
same time might clear up some of
the hardships manifest in the pres1
eat system.
The full text of the portion of/ the'
president')) message dealing with im-
migration follows:
“Restriction of immigration has
from every aspect proved 1n,bc a
sound national policy. Our pressing
problem i‘s to formulate a met hod by
which the limited number af immi
grants whom we do welcome shall he
adapted to' our national setting and
our national needs.
“I have been opposed to the quotas
now in force and 1 have hoped that
we could find some practical method
to secure what I believe should he
our real national objective'; that is,
fitness of the immigrant .us to
physique, character, training, a.tql our
need of service. Perhaps unit ' vs
tom of priorities within the querns
could 'produce these results and at
the satne time enable some hard-hips
in the present ,tn he cleared up I
recommend that the congress should
give the subject further study, in
which the executive departments will
gladly co-operate with the hope uf
discovering stud! a method a,s will
nmre fully secure our'national tieres-
Miles.”
