Palestine Endangered by Non-jewish Spirit

(God forbid) Judaism is on the decline if Zionism will not return to the Jewish Torah and to Jewish traditions.

PARTNERSHIP A FAILURE

The third set of problems before the Congress includes the rebuilding of the Zionist organization. The partnership made between non-Zionists, the Jewish Agency, is unfortunately a failure, and is not only not helpful but in many respects a hindrance.

Some way must be found to give the proper authority to the Jews who wish to help build Palestine from the philanthropic point of view. But mutual activity, the half-and-half participation of two separate elements such as political independence and philanthropic good-nature, cannot succeed. In the Zionistic ranks, too, a new spirit must be created. The responsibility for the development of Palestine must rest on all the parties in Zionism, irrespective of the fact that some are more capable of securing votes among the Jewish people than others. The coalition which is desirable for the future leadership must certainly consist of the most able individuals, but that is not enough. A mutually acceptable unified program of activities must be found which shall make possible cooperative work.
