Watkins needed no help; he had his

must hame men enough to sail the

I must first of all prove my courage

"What's going on below?" / asked.
"Cursin' mostly" answered Carter,
peering down through slight uptilt-
ing of the scuttle. "They don't just
know what's happening yet, but the
big niger seems ter be raisin' hell.
Carlson is holdin' him back with his
cutlass."
"Open up and let me down."

the rungs of the ladder, coming to
my feet on deck in the midst of a
group of angry men. The light was SO
poor l could scarcely see their faces
a babel of voices greeted me, and more
than one hand gripped me fiercely as
the excited owner yeiped d demand to
know what in hell we were up to. !

he was the leader If / was to rule,
this black brute must be conquered

His dull brain worked slowly, and
he stared at me, his eyes ugly. His
silence and lack of response, awoke a
growl from the impatient circle of
men behind. One fellow kicked the
club out of his hand contemptuously
and another plucked the knife from
his belt.

Delicate Mechanism

Despite its scope Swift &
Company is a business of in
finite details. requiring infinite
attention
Experienced men must know
livestock buying with a knowl-
edge Of weight price, the amount
and quality of meat the live
animals will yield.
Each manufacturing operation must
be done with expert skill and scientific
precision. A highly perishable product
must be handled with speed and care
to avoid loss.
Chemists, engineers, accountants
and other specialists are required to
take care of our intricate problems.
Alert wisdom and judgment must
be used in getting stocks of goods into
the open channels of demand through
our four hundred branch houses.
Branch house organizations must
show activity and energy to sell at the
market in the face of acute competi-
ton from other large packers, and
hundreds of small ones.
All these requirements ofintelligence,
loyalty, devotion TO the task, are met
in the personnel of Swift & Company.
Yet the profit is only fraction of cent
per pound with costs at minimum

cate human mechanism be improved

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD
ADDRESS OF DIR. STEPHEN S. WISE AT
ZIONIST CONVENTION
reported by Josie Sin aiko & H. z. Mendow.)


lead the group who had to their credit
the inception Of this great ideal-Theo-
dore Herzl. We face the problem prac-
tical and immediate, for the day Of re-
building is at hand. We go forward in
the mood with assurance that we have
support from all of American Israel.
And I wish that you could have seen the
sensation created in London when I re-
ceived the message that the Jewish Con-
gress at Philadelphia had adopted the
resolution for American Jewry that
Palestine should and would be the home
land for the Jews Of the world. When
I told Mr.. Arthur Balfour, the man who
goes down in Jewish history as the one
who wrote the declaration Of Jewish
independence, when I told him that the
Congress had so acted and that it rep
resented ninety per cent of the millions
of Jews of America, did not overstate
the fact, hope.
The Importance of this convention and
it's deliberations is derived not only from
the imminence of the Turkish treaty
and the decisions to be made through it,
but from the extraordinary growth Of
the movement during the last year. A
virtually tenfold increase in membership
to one hundred fifty thousand, and a
threefold increase in resources of the
Palestine Restoration Fund to one mil
lion eight hundred thousand dollars were
reported by two seasoned warriors of
the cause, Jacob De Haas and Louis
Lipsky.
Zionists are agreed that no man has
done more to further their cause than
President Wilson, who, acting in the
name of the American people and in the
spirit Of the Allied cause, has lent his
powerful advocacy to Zionism as the
only solution Of an ancient problem, and
in order to secure Justice, peace and
right for the Jews of the world.
We are unsuitable in the belief and
faith that the creed Of the Balfour dec
laration is shortly to be translated by
the Allied and associated powers of the
Peace Conference into the deed of sep
arating Palestine from the quondam
Turkish empire and establishing it un-
der British mandate as the Jewish home
land for the Jewish people, The great
powers associated with the United States
are vieing with each other in the effort
to secure justice for Israel. We do not
want the privilege of securing Palestine;
we demand that we have Palestine in
order to secure Justice. We will not
have Palestine except as of right.

-Four things stand out in Zionist work
in America and are portrayed so wildly
at the sessions Of the Twenty second An
nual Convention of the Zionist Organiza-
ton of America.
The genuineness of the movement
which springs out Of the heart Of the
people. It is Of the people hence it's
incessant, sometimes awkward attempts
at democratization; hence, too, the ter
rible earnestness Of the convention. We
Jews and this convention are impatient
with the man who threatens delay.
The devotion of the people to the
leadership of Supreme Court Justice
Brandeis. The we'll circumstance and
for one reason or another powerful
leaders of American Jewry yield homage
to his high place, but the Jewish masses
Of America love the man. They know
him as their own as none other. A noted
European said Of him not long ago:
"There is the touch of the Messianic
about the man."
Justice Brandeis spoke not one word
tered the hall, and again when Judge
Mack in the course of an eloquent adj
dress referred to our loved silent leader,
the assembly uttered it's admiration for
the great American and it's love for the
noble Jew in cheers wherein one detect
ed the note of the peoples unbounded
faith in it's leader. Perhaps the fervor
of the greeting was deepened by the
knowledge that he had returned from
Palestine and was expected to bring
glad tidings. When Judge Mack spoke
of the silent leader could not help but
think of the vast and silent stars that
course their way to shed light amid the
night as he showed us the light for
new life for Israel.
The assembly, while not wholly free
from parliamentary quibbling and
wrangling, is impatient with any man
or circumstance that threatens to post
pone its consideration of the problem Of
problems before the Jewish people
how to fit the land for the people and
the people for the land. The Convention
and it's delegates with all Zionists are
mindful of enormous difficulties, but
Jews are never impossibilitists touching
their ideals as people. They under
stand that the day for spade work will
be at hand.
That the convention means business is
attested by it's response to the summons
Of Judge Mack and Judge Hugo Pam to
American Israel to measure up to the
opportunity which is to fall to the lot Of
those who wish to build the Jewish
homeland and to recreate Jewish civil
zation. All Zionists understand that the
future Of Palestine, as was truly said
depends in a large part on the American
Jew.
AT the Pittsburgh Convention of July,
1918, American Zionism laid the foun-
dation Of the Jewish Commonwealth
that is to be, in spirit of loyalty to the

organization to the people and electing


officers. =
With the exception Of the offices of
treasurer and assistant treasurer, the.
present incumbents were returned. JUS
'tice Louis D. Brandeis, hailed as the
Zionists' silent leader, was reelected
honorary president. Judge Julian w.
Mack was reelected president.
Other Officers Named.
Other officers are, DR.. Stephen S.
Wise, New York, vice president; DR..
Harry Friedenwald, Baltimore, vice
president; Peter Schweitzer, New York,
treasurer; Walter S. Meyer, New York,
assistant teasurer; Jacob de Haas,
Boston and New York, executive secre-
tary; Louis Lipsky, New York, organi-
zation secretary; Henrietta Sold, New
York, educational secretary.
In addition, forty-one members of the
executive committee were chosen, which
gives membership to that committee
when the general officers Of the organi-
zation are included Of fifty persons.
The finance committees budget, which
the convention adopted without dissent,
represents only part of the fund the or
ganization proposes to raise among
American Jews during the year. Execu-
tive committeeman hope that various &C.
tivities will net at least 100000 to
be employed in developing the Jewish
commonwealth in Palestine.
Compromise on Elections.
In sessions of Wednesday the conven-
tion by slight margin defeated direct
election of executive committeeman, the
organizations real rulers, as proposed
in certain amendments submitted by
the constitution committee. A compro-
mise finally effected by which part Of the
executive committee membership will
next year be turned over to popular
vote of the general membership.
To further Palestine development the
convention urged that the international
organization facilitate the immediate es-
tablishment of industrial and financial
institutions to develop economic rela-
lions between Palestine, the United
States and other countries.
Organizations to be established along
cooperative lines are particularly de-
sired.
Plan for Colonization.
The international organization is ask
ed by another resolution to study the
possibilities of mass colonization. An
appeal was addressed to this same body
to abolish the system of Chaluka, now
in effect in Palestine, and to substitute
for the present methods of relief con-
structive work for those able to support
themselves.
It was agreed that ways and means
should be provided to permit demobil-
lied Jewish soldiers who desire to stay
in the homeland to settle on the soil.
