ZIONIST MOVE
MENT TAKES FORM

New York, March 30.-In pursuance of
resolutions adopted at the Zionist con-
gress in Basic, Switzerland, in August Of
last year, subscription lists were opened
today in London and New York for the
Jewish ~colonist trust, which is to be es-
tablished with a preliminary capital of
$40, GOO, 900, to conduct the financial open-
ations Of the Zionist movement. The
subscription list will remain open for a
Month. in which time 1T is expected that
the capital will be subscribed many times
over. The trust is to be known on the
continent Of Europe as the Jewish Colo
niaa bank, limited.
The preliminary capital of $1O,O 900, 900,
which it is intended shall be increased
later to $50, 900, 900, is to be divided into
! 1893, 900 ordinary shares of S. each, and
100 founders shares, also of SIS each.
Founders shares are to be held jointly
by the members of the council and their
nominees, and while they will not par
ticipate i'm the profits of the bank, their
holders will in all matters affecting en-
terprises to advance the Zionist love-
| ment, lave an equal voting power to that
of all other shareholders present at a
general meeting. The purpose of this
provision is to prevent the trust from
being turned from it's primary object
that of aiding and promoting Zionism-
into purely commercial channels. In
ma outside of the ordinary bank
ing business the council will be repre-
sented by a board of three governors
Nominated by it. In ordinary CONNER
cial matters, however, the authority of
the directors shaAl be supreme.
