“He has no authority to appear for us before the Peace Conference on that question… Should anyone attempt to speak on behalf of the Order for or against that question I will denounce him.”

Context added by this archive

Adolph Kraus of B’nai B’rith disowning Congressman Julius Kahn of California after Kahn presented an anti-Zionist petition to President Wilson. Eighty-five years later the Chicago Tribune would cite that petition — 299 rabbis and laypeople, opposing a Jewish state because displacing Palestinians would be “contrary to the principles of democracy” — as a road not taken.
