JEWISH SELF-GOvERNMENT IN
SIBERIA.

fugitives from Russia, brought into
that country very welcome elements,
who, in close cooperation with the
older population, according to cor
respondent of the Copenhagen Zion
list Bureau, are recognizing commun-
al life there on a democratic basis.
This new development is not confined
to Siberia, alone, but extends to the
Ural provinces. The unifying force
in this new democratic development is
Zionism, which has always been en-
Enthusiastically supported by the Siber-
ian and Ural Jews, and by most Of the
new elements.
A Jewish weekly is being issued in
lrkutsk, the capital Of Siberia. This
is modelled after the "Ivreyski Zhizn"
the old organ of the Russian Zionist
Central Committee, and is called by
the same name. Temporary central
committees have been organized
throughout the territory which is I'M
der the sway Of the All-Russian Pro-
visional Government, whose seat is at
lrkutsk. These central-organizations
are divided into two bodies; one
central-committee of the Zionist Or
ganization Of Siberia and the Ural
CONTAINS, and, two, a central organ
ization of the Jewish communities.
The first organization was created
at the third Siberian Zionist Confer
ence, which was held in the auditorium
of the Tomsk University in November
1918. Most Of the sessions of the
Siberian Duma have been led in the
same auditorium). The conference
adopted resolutions providing that
Zionist organizations and individuals
take the initiative in democratizing
the communities, to secure the adop-
ton Of system of self-taxation to
supply the funds for the activities of
the communities and to make possible
the publication Of an organ for the
communities. 1t adopted another
series of resolutions calling upon the
Zionists to supply the funds for
broad educational system and for Gull
tural activities. The educational sys-
tenn is to be planned so as to create
strong intellectual bond between the
younger generation and the Jewish
masses, and the language of instruc-
ton is to be Hebrew, it being proved,
however, that the language of the
country shall also be taught by means
Of textbooks and oral instructions
in that language. In the realm of
politics, the conference adopted res
olution favoring the participation of
Jewish representatives in the Govern
mental institutions Of Siberia. Il en-
dorsed the plan Of political union with
such other national minorities as rec
ognize, as the basis of their activities.
the principle Of democracy. Touching
the question Of Palestine colonization,
the conference created a special COM
missio nto furnish complete informa-
tion concerning the possibilities for
both capital and labor in that country;
to assist in the organization of groups
and corporations for settlement and
investment in Palestine, or for the
establishment Of commercial relations;
to provide material support for CO.
operative groups, and for urban resi-
dents who have taken up agriculture
with view Of following that vocation

ILLINOIS JEWS TO RAISE $780,.
900 FUND.

Chicago.-Illinois will be asked to
subscribe 81 100000 toward a fund Of
S35,000,0O0 which is being raised
throughout the country in non-sec-
tartan drive to be used for relief work
among the Jewish war sufferers in
Europe.
The drive will begi in September
or October, the exact date to be an
nounced later by the late executive
committee, and it covers territory
outside Of Chicago. Chicago's quota
of Sl,250,O0O, of which 100000 was
given by julius Rosenwald, has al
ready been subscribed.
Complete arrangements for the
drive were made at a meeting Of
fifty-five delegates from Illinois cities
at n meeting called by Julius Rosen-
wald at the Standard club. Mr.. Ros-
enwald is chairman Of the Chicago
chapter. The meeting was held under
the direction Of II. H. Levor Of New
York, a member Of the headquarters
staff Of the American Jewish Relief
Committee.
The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1919-07-25

brought into being by the act of the
Zionist conference, adopted resolu-
tions which provide:
l. That every Jewish community,
comprising not less than 20 families,
and not less than 30 adults, regard
less of sex, shall constitute a unit in
the system Of Jewish selflgovern-
ment.
2. Communities Of from $50 to $50,
from $50 to 500, and above 500 Jew
ish families are entitled to 11,25 or
35 representatives, respectively. The
administrative councils composed of
these representatives select executive
committees, in proportion to their
number.
3. The administrative councils have
jurisdiction over questions Of educa-
ton, social-economic relief, charitable
institutions, health and sanitary meas
ures, and also the raising Of funds for
the colonization work in Palestine.
Representatives of the reorganized
tatives Of the political parties consti-
tute the Jewish National Council Of
Siberia, which has an executive coun-
Gil Of five members. The National
Council is the only authorized rep
resentative of the Jews of Siberia
and the Urals, and has the right, in
the name Of its constituencies, to ne
gotiate with all Governmental depart
ments and with the Jewish commune
ties Of other countries. The National
Council is financed through a self-tax
which the people have levied volun-
tarily.
The correspondent Of the Copenhag-
en- Bureau who has furnished the out
line of the system Of self-government
in Siberia reports that the plan is
operating with remarkable success.
AS an instance he cites the collections
for the National Fund and the Pales-
tine Restoration Funds, which, at the
time he wrote, amounted to 100000
and 100000 roubles respectively.

PARIS, Jan. "a (Associated Press)
The question Of whether the Panama

depend entirely upon the attitude Of
the United STATES Government, ac.
cording to Lord Robert Cvcil, VINO
has submitted 10 the Peace Con-
gress a draft Of the British view Of
the structure OF the League.
Lord Robert said he had not heard
any formal or specific discussion Of
the Panama Canal among delegates
II being mentioned only incidentally
In connection with other waterways.
He held that the Panama Canal is
not on the same basis as some other
waterways, since II Is property OF tho
United States and II must be tor
that country TO say how It shall be
controlled
Speaking Of the admission OF neu.
trails into the League on the same
basis as other nations, Lord Robert
said that II was his conception that
there should be no classification, but
that all sovereign independent states
should have equal rights. In the gem

II this action is taken Baker prom.
ised full information and that testi-
mony OF officers who have been in

Compbell OF Kansas. into reports tha.
the 35th Division had suffered alb
normal casualties because OF faulty

the division. which is made up largely
OF Kansas troops.
