THE VOICE OF VANCOyVER
Vancouver Jewry has spoken with unmistakable clarity on Zionism.________HebrewXiterature were also conferred
The declaration that it has made, if it cannot be interpreted upon Professor Charles Cutler Torrey, as absolute Identification with the Socialist -Zionist wing in professor emeritus^ of Sehiitic lan-Judaism, can certainly be stated to be a whole-hearted endorsa-tion pf.the present administration of Zionism,. It' means the desire of the continuation of the present coalition with prepon- ^^^'or

THE NEW BRITISH CABINET
- The: appointment of a new cabinet in England is ialways a matter of the gravest concern for Jews. It is of particular importance at the present moment when British policy affects Jewry at. so many points.
The new cabinet will doubtless be hailed by Jews everywhere as; a beneficial influence on the two main problems that agitate Jews today.
Internally, of course, cabinet changes do not influence the Jewish position at all. Enghsh. Jewry is secure from antisemit-
ism by reason of the rights accorded them by law many decades .^^^^ ♦i,^ «W5«.««« .iri^ Arosorou was « v^y yuu..B «i*ut
