Movement for Members Of Or
ganization Starts at Mass
Meeting

Last night marked the beginning OF
three days campaign in this city to
! obtain 500 members for the Zionist
movement in this city. A large and
enthusiastic audience of Jewish peo-
pie of the city attended the mass
, meeting in the interest of the move
ment here and 1t was announced to-
day that already 200 members have
been signed up and it is expected that
the final reports will show that a
great many more than the quota has
been received.

orator of national repute, who Is
secretary of the Rabbits organization
of America and A. M. Heller another
noted lecturer. During the evening

In opening the meeting Mr- Medi-
nets told in details just what the Zion
ist movement meant He informed
the audience that 1t does not mean
that every Jew must go to Palestine
to live or must go back to Palestine,
but that it means nothing more than
a movement to establish a home land
for the Jewish people who desire to
live In the land of their forefathers
and a rest land for those Jews of Eu-

country to another.
The Jews of America said Mr.. Medi-
nets are contented with conditions here
and appreciate the liberties of Amer
lea and intend to remain here ana
continue their homes in the land OF
their adoption. One who is Zionist
in spirit must be an American and
patriot. American ideals exemplify
the ideals that are necessary to create
a new nation out of land neglected
for thousands of years, said the chair
man.
A. M Heller spoke on the great
progress made within recent times by
the Zionists for their cause in Pal
estine, He told of the work under
way at Palestine and how the Zion
lists are developing the land along
modern lines. Now is the opportunity
for the Jewish people to have Pales-

WASHINGTON, June 1S:-Declar-
ing opponents of the league have
conducted a campaign of misrepre-
sentation and distortion Senator Nc
Cumber, a Republican member of the
foreign relations committee, told the
senate today that the league cove
nant offered the only present hope of
preventing future and more terrible
wars.
Replying to arguments or many
Republican senators. he upheld the
league as entirely consistent with the
American constitution and devoid of
any ability to dangerously entangle or
curtail American interests.
Quoting the declaration of Senator
johnson, Republican, that America,
by virtue of her isolation, does not
need the European powers "as part
ners," he said isolation had long
since broken down. a European quar-
rel having cost this country in the
past five years fifty thousand lives
and forty billion dollars.
He declared he personally would
be opposed to leaving Germany out
of the league, fearing that action
might lead to future divisions and
