there are the faces, never previously
seen, of the old ones, to whom the
enlarged Jewish Agency has given an
opportunity of re-discovering their
dormant longing for Jewish exper
ience. Representatives of that class
have appeared at Zurich in large num
bers.
WEIZMANN’S DAY
The great Agency Council Meeting
has ended. A surging towards the
exits past the platform! Chaim Weiz-
mann stands with a radiant counten
ance; eyes shining w-ith happiness, in
a face grown thin from illness. Hand
after hand was extended to him, and
mute and eloquent congratulations
were offered him. Weizmann certainly
did not know who all the people were,
who were thronging around him. One
of them, a Jew from the East, found
the right word. He tightly gripped the
leader’s hand, and said in his mother
tongue: “Herr Professor! Dos is Eier
Tog!”
These words I fancy, sufficiently
characterised this meeting. It was
above all a day of Chaim Weizmann’s.
And then a day of Jewish unity, and
finally a Palestine day. What was
above all clear was that the leading
Jews w'ere anxious to show Weizmann
their respect. And since they were sit
ting together in one hall with Jews
from all over the world, and from
every class, the Jewish communal spir
it conquered. Something comparable
may have been witnessed at the early
Zionist Congresses. But there the
sweep of Jewish consciousness reached
a smaller band, though a more select
one as regards their ardour, their
depth of feeling and eager hopeful
ness. Basle was the natural outcome of
the Kattowitz conference. What Moses
Hess dreamed of. Pinsker first formu
lated, and the Choveve Zion, driven by
a romantic urge, attempted, that be
came clearly visible to all the world at
Basle. The line of descent from Moses
Hess to the first Basle Zionist Con
gress is of course uninterrupted. Now,
is Zurich the result of an organic de
velopment from Basle onward through
the Balfour Declaration and San
Remo? It would almost appear so,
though it is not yet indubitably cer
tain. But there can be no question as
to the popularity of Chaim Weiz
mann’s great personal triumph, a tri
umph which was not merely attested
by the addresses of Marshall, War
burg, Einstein, and Loon Blu, but also
by Ussischkin’s declaration that the
“Pan-Jewish” epoch had arrived, af
ter the preceding epochs of Choveve
Zion and Zionism, and named as the
creator of that third epoch, Chaim
Weizmann.
This morning Chaim Weizmann for
mulated his impressions of the open
ing session in the following words: “It
was a spectrum of Jewry, extending
from Rabbi Lipszyc on the Right to
Leon Blum on the left. It coloured rays
are united in a lens, the result is a
dazzling bright ray of light.” By that
ray of light, Weizmann meant the uni
ted strength of Jewry throughout the
world, in the service of the establish
ment of the Jewish National Home.
Assuredly the parade of so many shin
ing names, represented yesterday on
the platform of the Council Hall signi
fied a tremendous experience. But one
must not be deceived. All those names,
and the tendencies represented by
