in the early morning. and late at

Marshall is president Of this organiza-
ton, and Jacob II. Schif one OF us
hardest working members. The attack
on the Kehillah really became an at
tack on the men constituting the Amer
lean Jewish Committee.
Urged Break with Committee.
The following resolutions were intro
duced by ex-Assemblyman Solomon
Sufrin:
THAT we move the Rehillah sever its
relations with the American jewish
Committee. That the Kehillah conven,.
ton unqualifiedly indorse the proposed

KehilIah Objects to His
Statement on Russian
and Polish Hebrews.
CONVENTION ASSAILS
RELIEF COMMITTEE
Resolutions Urge Body to Sever
Relations-Delegates Say II
Dominates Meeting.

When the Kehillah, or Jewish COM
munity convention, opens at the He
brew School for Girls, Fifteenth Street
and Second Avenue, next Saturday
night. a resolution will be introduced
dissvowiing responsibility for the re-
cent statements of Jacob H. Schif re-
garding Jews in Russia. Such a resolu-
tion will probably create schism In
Jewish affairs in New York which will
be bridged over with difficulty, it was
held by delegates who met in confer
ence yesterday.
A week ago Sunday. in speaking at
the Central Jewish Institute dedica-
ton, Mr.. Schif was reported as say
ing:
"If the Jews in Russia and the Jews
in Poland had not kept themselves
apart, had not insisted on a separate
language, the tragedies and persecu-
tions to which they have been sub
jectcd would not have reached such
stages"
Decry Lack Of Democracy.
In "The American Hebrew" Of May
26 Herman Bernstein. its editor. set
forth that what Mr.. Schiff had really
said was:
81 am second to none in my feeling
for our oppressed brethren in Russia
and Poland, not only OF what they
are suffering now. but what they have
suffered for the last fifty years. But
IT has occurred TO me and IL is con
siderable thought have given to this
that if the Jews of Russia and the
Jews il Poland would not have been
Kept as separate people by discrimir-
atory laws the prejudice and the per
sccution 20 which they have been sub
jected would not have reached the
stage to which we all regret it has
unfortunately come"
In the discussion of the delegates,
who met at the Stuyvesant Casino, l42
Second Avenue. much emphasis was
laid on the lack Of democracy in the
conduct Of the convention. Attention
was called to the fact that the Kehillah
as such had no control over many OF
the activities which it has initiated.
The burden of criticism was directed
