When Jewish State Was

By DAVID SCHWARTZ
As we observe Israel’s 20th
birthday, Americans may be
proud of the fact that the United
States was the first to recognize
Israel’s independence. Just six
minutes after Israel proclaimed
her independence, the United
States recognized Israel.
Two men were chiefly respon
sible for this — a red-headed
man and a bald-headed man. The
bald-headed man was Eddie
Jacobson of Kansas City, who
had operated a haberdashery
store there before the great De
pression of 1929.
The red-headed man (later as
he grew older it turned snow
white) was a fellow named
Jackson. Andrew Jackson. Like
Eddie Jacobson, he started out
as a poor boy. His father died
a few days before he was born.
He worked for a while in a sad
dle shop, then became a soldier,
and he was very good at it. Still
later he turned to politics. He
moved to Washington and lived
there for eight years on Pen-
sylvania Avenue, corner of Six
teenth Street in a place called
the White House.
If you tell people that Jackson
did a lot to secure recognition
for Israel, they say fiddle-faddle.
They say Jackson lived around
1830 and 1840, and tbere was no
Zionism in those days.
But Jackson must have known
about Zionism. One of his
strongest political supporters was
the New York editor, Mordecai
Manuel Noah. He was one of
the great American editors and
a pretty active sort of fellow
all around. Jackson fought duels.
So did Noah. Noah was also
elected sheriff. When yellow
fever broke out in New York,
Noah was much criticized for re
leasing all the inmates in the
debtors prison. But, he said, it
was his business to catch debtors
but not his business if they
caught yellow fever.
He was a man who had his
own mind about things — like
Jackson — and he was a Zionist.
He has been called the first
Zionist in America.
He grew a bit impatient about
waiting for the re-establishment
in Palestine and decided maybe
a provisional Jewish state could
be established in America. The
building of the Erie Canal really
gave him the idea. The canal
started a great wave of immigra
tion of Americans to the west.
Almost every day, when you
awoke in the morning, you would
hear about new states.
You’d wake up, rub your eyes
and say: “Joe, wihat’s new?”
“Nothing,” Joe would say. “A
little shooting in the Bronx and
they have formed a new state
called Indiana.”
An the next morning Joe would
tell you there was a new state
called Nebraska.
How long will this new state
business go on? you would ask
and Joe would say: “I guess not
until they run out of Indian
names.”
This gave the idea to Noah.
Why not form a Jewish state
around Buffalo? So he bought
some land around the Erie Canal
at Buffalo and invited the Jews
of the world to come there. In
due time the cornerstone was
laid, a band played, a Christian
preacher read from the Bible, but
the only Jew present was Noah

himself and the Indian chief, Red
Jacket. Noah believed the In
dians were the lost tribes of Is
rael and he proposed to reunite
them with the Jews, so the In
dians could have a Jewish wig
wam too.
Andrew Jackson must have
known all about this. Not only
that, but Judah Touro, the man
who gave the money for the first
building of the new city of Jer
usalem, as a young man, served
in Jackson’s army at the Battle
of New Orleans.
Judah Touro also gave money
to many American hospitals, col
leges and for other causes. When
the New Englander, Amos Law
rence, announced a gift of ten
thousand dollars for the building
of the Bunker Hill monument, if
anyone would match his contri
bution, Touro immediately sent
his own check for a similar
amount.
A poet wrote:
“Christian and Jew, they carry
out one plan
Of different faiths, each is in
heart a man.”
Some will still object, saying,
but how could a man who lived
so long ago affect an event of
today. For the answer, we would
like to refer to a statement made
by General Jackson during the
war of 1812. He said, “I mean
to press on even if the army has
to live on acorns.”
In other words, Jackson was a
man of tremendous will power.
He could do what others could
not do. Anyway, we know that
when the bald-headed Eddie
Jacobson came to President Tru
man in 1948 to ask him to see
Dr. Weizmann, the Zionist leader,
Truman turned him down flat.
Eddie Jacobson had served as
a buddy of Truman in World
Wax I and later the two had
formed a haberdashery business
together. They were the closest
of friends, but Truman would not
budge from his position. He
would not meet Weizmann, and
that was that!
Eddie Jacobson rose to leave.
As he did so, his eyes noted the
little statue of Andrew Jackson
on Truman’s desk.
“Harry,” Eddie said, “I remem
ber how you used to always talk
about Andrew Jackson. He stood
fying tlie great bank monopoly.
He stood up for the Union, chal-
up for the common people, de-
lenging the nullificatianists. Jack-
son was your hero, Harry. Well,
Harry—Weizmann is mine.”
Truman just could not take
that. “All right,” he said, “you
bald-headed S.O.B. You win.”
Y'all come by any time for a test
drive of the new 1968 Cadillac
engine. It will amaze you.

life Insurance
for 20 year olds?
Definitely. This is the best time to buy life insurance. At the
beginning of your career when the premiums are lower.
When you buy life insurance you create an estate of your
own the moment you sign. Life insurance is also a sound in
vestment. Thanks to compound interest, the cash value will
keep increasing through the years giving you a “nest egg” for
unforeseen emergencies.
Life insurance can also be used as collateral. For loans or
business deals later.
Talk to the Man from Manufacturers. He’ll discuss your
particular situation with you and draw up your personal life
insurance program. One with options so that up to age 40 you
can add to it at intervals, including when you marry and when
your children are bom. You can make these additional pur
chases regardless of your health condition.
Twenty isn’t too young to start your life insurance program.
Some men even begin at 18. You have to start early when
you’re aiming for financial success,
