ovitz, by establishing a forest
in Israel in his and his good
wife’s name.
Slomovitz is one of the talents
of the profession. He is the kind
of writer whom you could wake
up at two in the morning and
ask to write a two column article
about the League of Nations—
and he would be able to do it.
No matter what the subject, it
would be a readable article.
Probably, if he had been in
Israel, they would have elected
him mayor like Gershon Agron,
editor pt the. Jerusalem Post,
who was elected mayor of Jer
usalem.
But maybe a forest in Israel
is better than being a mayor.
Thomas Jefferson was ajways a
man who was strong for free
dom in everything, but one. time
he said, “I wish I were a despot.”
The time he Baid that was when
he saw someone cutting down
a tree. That is the point of view
in Israel too. Trees are very
precious things.
Editors usually are not much
rewarded. Horace Greeley was
probably the most famous Amer
ican editor. The pen is mightier
than the sword, they say, bat
when Greeley ran against
Grant, the soldier, Grant, won.
Somehow editors give a wrong
impression. One time, a mission
ary asked Greeley to make a
contribution to missionary work
in order, he said “to save people
from going to hell.”
“There aren’t half enough
people going to hell now,” re
plied Greeley. Actually Greeley
was always working for humani
tarian causes. He was one of the
chief advocates of the coopera
tive communities, a kind of
American kibbutz, which had a
bit of a vogue in his day. He
was against slavery, but he was
also at least in the beginning
against the Civil War and after
the Civil War, he went on the
bail of Jefferson Davis. He was
usually on the unpopular side.
Mordecai Manuel Noah was an
American Jewish newspaperman
a little earlier than Greeley.
Noah could remember, as a little
boy, seeing Ben Franklin. Pres
ident John Quincy Adams
thought Noah the ablest news-

paperman in America of his day.
Noah too aspired to political of
fice, but got little. He was consul
to Tunis, but was recalled. Later,
he was Sheriff of New York,
but here too, he got little
nachaaa. A yellow fever epidemic
broke out in New York and the
crowded quarters of the New
York jail threatened to bring
down all the inmates with the
dreaded “yellow jack.” So what
was Noah to do? A Jew can
have money or he can have no
money, but one thing a Jew has
to have is rachmonia. Without
rachmonia you are not a Jew. So
Noah called the prisoners of the
jail together, and opened the
doors and said to the prisoners,
‘T am closing my eyes, so if
you leave now like gentlemen,
I won’t see you leaving.” So.
they left
Noah was criticized for it, but
it was a brave and fine act In
those days, a great many of the
inmates of jails were there for
non-payment of debts. Today,
they don’t send you to jail for
that.
Later Noah sponored the ill-
fated Ararat project around Buf
falo as a haven for the oppress
ed Jews of the world. Noah has
been called the first American
Zionist.
The story of American Zion
ism is little known. Charles
Thompson, the secretary of the
Continental Congress said that
the real story of the American
Revolution would never be
known. Probably the full story
of American Zionism too will
remain an untold story. Perusing
a work dealing with President
Shazar of Israel, we learned
that one time on a visit to
America, he met with Victor
Berger in Milwaukee, then a
leading figure in American So
cialism And Shazar induced in
the latter a change of mind about
Zionism.

ican Zionism were told, Editor
