THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLA
Agreement Submitted Referendum. Baltimore Congress
Committee Rejects Peace Pact.

Philadelphia meeting. The organi-
cations had convened a conference
of their own, and adopted, with i'm
portant limitations, the Congress
idea. The negotiations resulted in
the agreement now submitted for
ratification
The Philadelphia Conference did
not limit either the scope or the flu
ture of the proposed Congress. The
Congress now provided for is con-
fined as to the scope of its delibera-
tons and is made temporary in
character
We regret alike the restrictions
upon the freedom of full discussion
of all pressing Jewish problems, and
the attempt to determine in advance
whether or not Jewish Congress
should become permanent insti-
tuition
We believe that Jewish opinion
will be grievously disappointed that
body representative of all Ameri
can Jewish interests should be de-
MED the right to consider questions
so vital to Jewish life, and so closely
bound up with all other Jewish is
sues as are the problems of migra-
ton and constructive relief. The
existence of relief agencies, how
ever, Immediately effective, should
not prevent consideration of such
agencies in relation to other forces
in Jewry, or the establishment, if
need be shown, of new institutions
for the reorganization Of the COM
munity life of scattered Jewish war
victims. The door of discussion to
the great subject of constructive re-
lief and migration should not have
been closed.
The agreement likewise disap-
points Jewish desire for demo-
cratic Congress by giving appointive
membership in the Congress to ma
t1Onal jewish organizations as SuCh.
The agreement does commit the
proposed new Executive Committee
to the democratic principles laid
down in Philadelphia. We may,
therefore, justly hope that the Ex
ecutive Committee will exercise it's
power so as to devise such method
of election of delegates as to reduce
to minimum the effect of the de-
parture from the democratic princi
pies.
What we have set forth, are, we
recognize, grave defects; these are
serious compromises with the Phila
delphia program. They are compro-

New York, Aug Exchanges in
the aims and policies of the proposed
American Jewish congress, as sug
gested by committee representing
the preliminary conference in Phila
delphia, March 20 and u, and the
conference of Jewish national organ
izations in New York, July 10, were
submitted yesterday to referendum
of the members of the organizations.
1t is stated that the referendum is
to be completed by September 9Th.
Meanwhile the Baltimore Congress
Committee has published it's repudi-
alton of the peace pact and similar
action is expected on the part of
Pittsburgh.
Memorandum Submitted by the
Executive Organization Com
mittee for an American
Jewish Congress.
We submit herewith the report
embodying the call, memorandum
and agreement made between your
Committee and the Executive Com
mittee of the Conference of National
Jewish Organizations. We respect
fully urge your ratification of the
report. The agreement we now
submit involves serious changes
from the program adopted at Phila-
delphia. We therefore deem it prop
er to accompany our recommended
ton, that the report be ratified, with
the following statement of our
grounds for so doing.
The idea of the Jewish Congress
movement was to organize the
thought and the purposes of Ameri
can Jewry. The aims of a Congress
we're to be two-fold: first, to miti
gate the effects of the present war
upon Jews; second, to seek a per-
manent solution of recurring diff
culties in Jewish life, which means
the granting Of full rights in all
lands and the effective abrogatlon
of all discriminatory laws. To
achieve these ends, we deemed it
vital that the Congress should be
democratically founded.
The Congress movement, thus
conceived, resulted in the Prelimin-
airy Conference, held in Philadel-
phia, March 10th and 18th, 1916,
and the program there adopted.
Pursuant thereto, preparations for
the Congress were progressing
when, impelled by a strong desire
for peace in American Jewish opin-
ion, negotiations were opened be-
tween your Committee and repre-

yielded to peace. We rest in the
hope that from the victory of the
policies of peace there will be born
a complete triumph for the princi-
pies of democracy.
Under these circumstances, we
feel justified in asking your approval
of the action of your Committee.
Such approval is to be expressed
by voting affirmatively on the pro-
posed changes in

Your Committee has agreed with

The call is read as follows:

whereby, in cooperation with the
Jews of the world, full rights may
be secured for the Jews of all lands,
and all laws discriminating against
them may be abrogated. 1t being
understood that the phrase "full
rights" is deemed to include:
/. Civil, religious and political
rights, and in addition thereto

of any lands are or may be recog-
nized as having separate group
rights, the comforting upon the Jews
