Jears Joyous
IN Accepting
Promised Land
Continued from page l

United States desires no trusteesbin
or protectorate over any of the peoples
IN Asia Minor, and in RECOGNITION not
only OF Great Britains leadership in
redeemlng Palestine from the rule of
the Turk, and in declaring for it's dedi-
cation as a national homeland for the
jewish people, but also because of her
peculiar fitness to act IN this territory
on behalf of the league of nations"
The resolution to se.;d the seven del
egates to Europe at the earliest pos
sible moment to bend every effort
toward realizing the aims of the first
American Jewish Congress was unani-
mously adopted. 1t reads:
BE it resolved, That the American
Jewish Congress shall elect a delega-
tion Of not more than seven members.
which shall leave as soon as possible
Tor Europe, where, in cooperation with
representatives of the Jews of other
lands, it shall use its best endeavors
to realiz" the objects for which this
congress was established, in accord
ance with instructions formulated by
this congress.
BE 1t further resolved, That the
delegation shall render a report to
the congress after its labors in Eu-
rope are completed and the president
of the congress is hereby required to
summon the congress to receive the
report Of the delegation not later than
enc year after the treaty Of peace shall
have been signed, and to transact such
other business as may come before it..
BE it further resolved, That in the
event of the delegation requiring further
instructions CT new conditions arise.
the delegation, by a majority vote, NAV
direct the president OF the congress
to summon a special session of the
congress to act on such propositions. !"
The personnel of the delegation is
now being considered by the members
of the nomination committee, who will
probably present the names for cleo
tion by the congress to-day.
Two views have developed as to who
shall be included in the delegation. 1t
is thought by some that the delegation
should represent all the larger factions
comprising the namely, the
Zlonists, the fraternal organizations,
the American Jewish committee, the
Mizrachi or orthodox element. and the
national socialists.
Others believe, however, that only
experienced and recognized diplomats
could achieve the desired results.
among these being mentioned Abram
|. Elkus Henry Morgenthau and Oscar
Straus.

Open Route to
Chicago To-day
Postal Department Hopes to
Make l,O0O-Mile Trip in
Less Than Nine Hours
May Extend the System
Letters Leaving Here at 6:3O
This Morning Due in Illi-
nois by 3 This Afternoon

A daily airplanc mail service be-
started at $50 a. m to-day, when l.. d.
Smith, pilot. climbs into his plane to
set out ON TIE first relay of the journey,
which ends at Lehighton, Penn. The
mail is due at Cleveland at 1880 Il. m.
and at Chicago at in the afternoon.
At the same time another pilot, in a
De Haviland 4, will leave Chicago with
mail destined for New York. If the
trip is made on schedule, the record
running time by rail between Chicago
and New York-eighteen hours-will be
cut in half.
Mail for this service must be dc
posted at the General Postoffice be-
fore g a. m. for transmission the same
day, Postmaster Patten announced yes
terday. Mail for Illinois. Indiana, west
and southwest of Chicago, Alaska, Brit
ish Columbia and Manitoba may be for
warded by the airplane service.
Only first class and registered mail.
including sealed packages not larger
girth, may be sent The postage is six
cents an ounce or fraction thereof.
Additional stamps must be affixed for
special delivery.
Extensive additions to the service,
based on the New York Chicago route.
are planned by the Postofice Depart
ment. The earlier service between
New York and Washington was de-
signed as q working laboratory to per-
feet system by which a network of
lines could be run all over the United
States. 1t is said q New York Boston
service will be the next to get under
way, with possible extension, in CO.
operation with the Canadian govern
ment, to Montreal.
From Washington line is to run
southwest to Atlanta, dividing at that
point for Key West and New Orleans.
Another unit may extend westward
from Washington, passing through
Cincinnati and st. Louis and terminal
inr at Kansas City
From Chicago lines are planned to
Milwaukee, Minneapolis and St. Paul;
Omaha, Denver, Cheyenne Salt Lake
Dallas, Austin, San Antonio and
Laredo, connecting at Laredo with the
Mexican mails. Eventually it is in
tended to operate feeder lines to en-
able cities such as Toledo, Indian
apolis and Duluth to connect with the
trunk lines. Under such an arrange
ment Chicago would be as much a
centre of airplane routes as of rail
way routes.
At present the airplane mail is car
ried from New York to Washington in
an average flying time of two hours
and thirty minutes. A stop is made
for the exchange Of mail at Phila-
