PROBLEMS OF ZIONISM.
[To THE EDITOR or THE ‘* SPECIATOR-'] your issue of January 29th Mr. Zangwill uses my name after a fashion which shows he cannot have read what I have written on the Jewish question, nor heard what I have publicly said on it. So far from saying that it can be solved by oppression and injustice, I have insisted that it can only be solved by a frank admission of the serious friction between two such very different races and by an equally frank recogni- tion of a separate nationality in our midst, with all the dis- abilities and privileges which necessarily accompany such a recognition. If Mr. Zangwill maintains that there is no friction, and therefore no problem, I can only refer him (and your readers) to a poem of his only just lately published in the Venturer for October, 1920, where he calls our race " cobras," " drinkers of blood," and I know not what other forcible names. Such language is surely evidence that he does not hit it off with us, and—if he speaks for his compatriots—that there is a grave political problem to be solved.—I am, Sir, &c., H. Bzu.oc.
