{"value"=>"<p>These folders contain AHS's letters, memoranda, and notes setting forth his conviction that, since he believed Jews to be solely a religious community, any movement to establish a Jewish state was both logically wrong and politically unwise. This put him into protracted conflicts with many Jewish organizations and leaders and caused numerous attacks on the NYT itself, because of its editorial policies as well as its coverage of events in and surrounding Palestine. Much of the material here consists of readers' mail and clippings. Included are AHS's letter to Otto Kerner declining a state of Israel Founders Award (1961), AHS's letter to Carol Sulzberger explaining his views (1959), notes on AHS's meetings with British officials, correspondence about threats to cancel advertising and/or subscriptions because of the NYT's editorial positions, letters, memoranda, and clippings about Herbert L. Matthews's article reporting British charges that Jews migrating from the U. S. S. R. to Palestine include Communists (1948), correspondence with Louis Finkelstein and others about Finkelstein's views on Zionism, letters and clippings about AHS's statement, in an interview with the New Orleans Item, about Jewish terrorists and British military action against them (1947), correspondence with Judah Magnes about his moderate policy on Palestine and efforts to raise funds for his movement (1942-1946), papers concerning Cyrus Sulzberger's views on Zionism, letters, memoranda, and other documents about allegedly biased reporting by Alexander C. Sedgwick on the trial of Zionist arms runners, correspondence with Abba Hillel Silver and others about charges by Silver and other Zionist leaders that the NYT's news reports and editorials harm the Jewish cause (1943-1944), letters and clippings about AHS's speech at the Madison Avenue Temple in Baltimore, opposing a Jewish state in Palestine and proposals for a Jewish army (1942), memorandum by AHS detailing his views on Palestine, evidently written during his visit there and apparently sent to several persons with replies from Magnes, with Magnes's analysis of the Arab-Jewish conflict and proposal for compromise, and Edna Ferber and Tamar de Sola Pool (1937), and an earlier, briefer paper by AHS detailing his views with a note by IOS (1930, 1934).</p>"}
