The American Jewish Outlook of Pittsburgh, in an editorial entitled, “More General Zionists and Less Zionist Generals,” states:

To get into Palestine today, it is not enough to be a Jew. One must be a Revisionist, a believer in capitalism; or one must be a Socialist, depending on which group happens to control the admission at the moment. Only recently did Jabotinsky, the Revisionist, and Ben-Gurion, the leader of the labor faction agree. Yes, they agreed on the uselessness of having any further meetings to bring about peace! This is the type of unity we have today. Even in the United States, where we should remain general Zionists instead of taking sides with stubborn factions, we find Zionism broken up.

LIVERPOOL DAILY DEFINES DUTIES OF JUDAISM

The Liverpool Post, daily of Liverpool, England, writing on “Religion and World Problems,” says:

Morality was the first problem with which Judaism must concern itself. Today, when the moral standards that had come down in the traditions from the past had lost their authoritative character, it was necessary for them to think out anew the Jewish views of marriage and divorce. An old idea gaining new currency in the intellectual confusion of our time, that religion and ethics were completely separated, could have no place in Jewish teaching.

Religion must be concerned, too, with the social problem and peace problem, and must want solutions that would accord with its spiritual and moral principles. It must oppose all attempts at a solution which ignored these, and that was why Judaism, and all religion, must oppose Fascism and Communism, both of which denied the spiritual worth of man.
