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 (Continued on Page 35) At this season, as the Jewish people of the South and elsewhere enter their New Year, The Baron & Wilson Hotels wishes them happiness and all the good things of Life.
