and head of the Keren Hayesod (Pal-
atine -Foundation Fund) of the Unit-
'ed States' takes issue with the ex—
Ambassador in his recent attack on
Zionism. in an article in the Septem-
ber number of the Forum Magazine.
Mr. Untermyer‘s article is an ex-
haustive exposition of the Zionist
ideals and principles. He reviews the
history of the movement from its in-
ception. and quotes a dozen or more
authorities on Zionism and 'Palestine.
to show that far from exposing what
idea that there is anything inherent in
the realization of the Zionist ideal that
wound endanger the “rights and polit-
ical status" of the Jews in other coun-
tries. Mr. Balfour thinks quite the
contrary. Everything which raises the
national and international status of
the Jews to that of other nations.
ought ‘to mitigate what remains of
ancient antlpathies.
Mr. Untermyer further takes Mr.
Morgenthau to task for his account of
the modern Zionist movement. An-
swering his assertion that Zionism is
“an Eastern European propOsal." Mr.
Untermyer gives a long list of promi-
nent Western Europeans who have
made earlier proposals for the re-
establishment of Palestine as the Jew-
ish National Homeland, thus branding
Mr. Morgenthau's designation of Zion-
ism as an “Eastern European propos—
al." as entirely false. He shows that

men. and their experienced political

people. Had Mr. Morgenthau any new
light to throw upon the question. had
be any new argument or objection to
advance. had he discovered any un-
known difficulties or reveaEd any un-
suspected risks, I could understand
his entering the arena at this late hour
with his time-worn protest. But a
careful perusal of his article falls to
bring to light a single objection or
argument that has not long ago been
discussed and demolished. Nay, much
more plausible objections have been
offered in the past and effectively
shattered. and many who. like myself.
Were cold to the movement because of
'. .wani. of understanding. have become
its champions. But Mr. Morgenthau.
whose knowledge of the question is
manifestly superficial. has simply re-
furnished some of the most thread-
bare fallacies of a discredited party
and flaunts them as a new political
revelation."
Mr. Untermyer seriously questions

'1852; by the Socialist leader. Mises
Hess. in 1862; and by the English
writer, George Elliotpln her remarka-
ble novel. “Daniel Deronda." in 1876.
Mr. Untermyer makes a particular
mention of the enthusiastic advocacy
of the Zionist idea by Major Mordecai
Manuel Noah. who was Consul of the
United States to Morocco from 1813
to 1816. and afterwards sheriff of New
York county and Judge of the Court
of Sessions. It has been said of him
that ”no man of his day had a better
claim to the title of American. yet all
'hls life be cherished the idea of a re-
storation of the Jews to Palestine.
And it is significant that John Adams.
the second President of the ‘L'nited
States. was an ardent supporter of Ma-
jor Noah's proposal.
Turning to the economic aspect of
Zionism. Mr. L'ntermyer characterizes
ther ell-Ambassador's statements as
guided by "prejudice. lack of knowl-
edge. narrowness or vision and an np~
parently deliberate intention to mis—
understand or misrepresent." He de-
nies Mr. Morgenthau’s assertion that
"Zionists have been working for thirty
years. backed by millions of money by
philanthropic Jews of great wealth in
France. England. Germany and Amer-
ica." The fact is. Mr. Untermyer
states. that the Zionist movement Was
founded only in 1897. and at least six
years must be deducted for the period
of inactivity from the beginning of the
war until the end of the military oc-
cupation of Palestine. Thuaer. Mor-
genthau's thirty years are deduced to
eighteen. As for the millions of
money. Mr. Untermyer continues.
these exist. solely in Mr. Morgenthau's
imagination. It was for these million:
that Theodore Hex-z. the founder of
the movement ,was always begging in
‘vain.
Likewise. Mr. l‘ntermyer character-
izes the ex—ambassador’s version of the
productivity and capacity of Palestine
as “erroneous and misleading." .\lr.

ability. whereas a year ago it was a
case of taking almost anyone who ap-

The number of teachers (who are
attending the State summer school at
Yale is larger by several- hundred
than in 1920 and more aslgi‘aduates
from high schools have signified a
