FIRST EDITION. Yiddish. Headpiece of early Zionist emblem and tailpiece

The anonymous author argues against the territorial solution offered by Great Britain, namely that Jews settle in the British colony of Uganda in Africa, as opposed to the Land of Israel. It was the Russian delegates to the Sixth Zionist Congress (August 1903) who most vehemently opposed and ultimately defeated the “Uganda Scheme.” See EJ, Vol. XV, cols. 1500-1501; Vol. XVI, col.1046
