The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1919-09-19

The twenty-second annual convention
of the Zionist organization Of America
was called together in Chicago, on Sun
day, Sept. IL, at the Auditorium theatre
to the strains Of the Jewish folk songs
that have called together the Jews all
over the world, by the Zimro Ensemble.
Judge Julian w. Mack Of Chicago pre-
sided, as president of the organization.
Nearly 1000 people gathered in the con-
vention hall to attend the session.
After the address of welcome by Judge
Hugo Pam, Judge Mack gave the presi-
Dental address. 1t was during the lat
ter speech that the true spirit Of the
convention cropped out. Judge Mack
had spoken of many Of the leaders. He
had called the attention of the delegates
and visitors to the work of Jacob De
Haas, the executive secretary; Louis
Lipsky, the organization secretary; Miss
Henrietta Zold, the educational secre-
tary; and DR.. Stephen S. Wise. He then
mentioned "our great silent leader"
No name was spoken yet all knew who
he meant. Everyone turned to Justice
Louis D. Brandeis and with one accord
with tears and many hearts with hope as
the colossal room reverberated with the
hope of Zion.
"a year ago." continued Judge Mack,
when the cheering had died down, "ac-
tivities started most auspiciously. That
leader, not only of the United States,
but of all humanity, Woodrow Wilson,
gave his approval of the Balfour declara
tion. At that time there were 100000
registered Zionists. Next year there will
be half a million Zionists.-
"We are creating in Palestine ma
tional homeland for the Jew, not the
Jew of America or of England, but the
Jew of Poland, of Russia and Of Rou-
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1919-09-19

mania. We must take advantage Of the
opportunity and do what we can."
Judge Mack lauded the work of Hadas-
sab as we'll as the work of all the ele-
ments of American Jewry. "Over $400,-
600 has been spent for medical work in
Palestine, not only for the Jew alone, but
for all the other people as we'll. In
order to make Palestine home for the
Jew, not for decade, but for all time,
we must build slowly and surely. We
must put in men, big men, not men who
will seek to enrich themselves, but who
will seek to enrich Palestine"
At the opening session Of the conven-
tion reports were made by the secretaries
Of the Executive, Organization, and Edu-
cation departments.
Jacob De Haas, in making his report
of the executive department, outlined
the four great objectives Of the Zionist
movement in America during the year as
follows:
First, to utilize the strength and in
f1uence of the American organization in
achieving the political ends for which
the international organization was
founded.
Second, to accomplish the maximum
for Palestine, both in money and in
preparation for future plans.
Third, reorganization of the American
movement.
Fourth, systemization of Zionist edu-
cational work.
The report of Mr.. De Haas took up
further the communication of President
Wilson to Stephen S. Wise making known
the Presidents satisfaction with the de-
velopment of the movement
Louis Lipsky, in his report on the
Organization department, said that the
merger of all special Zionist organiza-
tions in America with the exception, Of
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1919-09-19

course, of the Mizrachi and the Poale
Zion), was successfully realized, and
that for the first time in history there
is an organization of members who have
no special party or territorial loyalty
to interfere with their general Zionist
obligations.
The second session of the convention
opened on Monday, Sept. Is, with dis
cussion of the reports. During the dis
cussion an under-current Of dissatisfac-
tion arose, which developed into seri-
GUS criticism of the work of the Admin
istrative department and the National
Executive committee. s
Delegates from all sections of the
country took the floor and bitterly de-
nounced what was termed "silent leader
ship" and severely resented the unre-
sponsiveness and the responsibility of
both bodies to the will of Zionist mem
bership. When the discussion had SUBJ
sided, Chairman Lipsky called for
vote of confidence in the administration.
Following several demands by dissatis-
fed delegates for the privilege Of ad-
dressing the house the vote was taken.
The friends of the administration won.
AS a result of the discussion, needed
reform in organization was assured
through the medium Of the resolutions
committee.
Rabbi Stephen S. Wise introduced a
resolution which was unanimously adopt
ed regarding the reconvening of the
American Jewish Congress to hear the
report Of the Congress delegates to the
Versailles peace conference, and ex-
pressing the belief that out Of the re-
convening of the congress there may
develop movement creative of such
instrument as shall ,organically express
the collective counsel and will of Ameri-
can Israel.

THAT COLD SNAP

That cold wave that swept over this
western country the past week certain.
ly struck Glenwood and surrounding
country hard blow and put crimp
in the fruit and garden plants in this
section. The mercury dropped to 25
degrees last Sunday morning, and ten.
der vegetation was cut to the ground,
and along the streams near here the
oak leaves and sarvis bushes were
turned black.
Our townsfolk who had planted gar.
dens, had taken pains Saturday even
ing to cover as many of their plants az
possible, and many of the more tender
plants were frozen down, even though
covered with glass jars, tan cans, pa.
pers, gunny sacks, etc.
Down the river the cold wave seems
to have struck in streaks and some gar
dens were almost totally destroyed,
while Others close by are scarcely dam
aged at all. From all over the county
come reports to the effect that the al
falfa was badly nipped and that the
hay crop will be very materially dim
inished as a result of the freeze, and
some contemplate cutting the crop ear

little growth from this time on and
