When Jewry gets some steel in its soul and some sense in its head, and gives the British the plain alternative of friendship or what follows when friendship flares into open resentment, we will be on a better basis for barter.
At that time the British could get rid of some of their hypocritical officials and we can get rid of some of our rabbit-souled leaders, and the world will be better off for both.
NOT FAIR EXCHANGE
Jewish tears, sacrifice and heroism have concentrated themselves on the building of a free Jewish State in the Near East. We cannot allow this fine hope and tender dream to be destroyed without lifting a hand in its defense. The saccharine smirk of sweet words is no fair exchange for a coarse, ugly reality.
Even Germany has no such evil genius on the future of Jewry as has the present attitude of the British Colonial Office, since the latter dams the only chance of the Jew for the coming generations.
We demand and are going to take the right to live and progress, at least in Eretz Yisroel, British chicanery notwithstanding. And the British might as well get used to the idea.
