The New Palestine, organ of the Zionist Organization of America, declares in a two-column editorial that Vladimir Jabotinsky’s recent New York address “was suggestive of the Jabotinsky of the early years whom we all admired and loved,” and asks: “What is it that keeps Mr. Jabotinsky and his party out of the Zionist Organization and what makes their return to the Zionist Organization impossible?”

The editorial is devoted to praising Jabotinsky’s speech, saying it was an address which “could have been delivered without causing the slightest ripple of dissent in a meeting under official Zionist auspices.” It concludes with the statement that “Mr. Jabotinsky owes a second speech to the audience” to explain his press views on internal Zionist issues.
