London, July "a report presented
to the Zionist conference by j. A. Nal
ditch of the natioanl executive COM
mittee suggesting that all Jews be
taxed 10 per cent of their annual in
comes for the foundation fund for pub
lie works in Palestine resulted in ami
mated discussion.
Some of the delegates violently op-
posed the measure, but the general
opinion OF the delegates appeared fav-
orable to it. Mr.. Naiditch proposed that
the money he collected in proportion
to capital in the case of propertied
classes, and in proportion 10 annual in
come in the case of others.
The collections will begin through
out the world simultaneously on an ap-
pointed day.
The money collected would be ap-
piled to institutions, shelters, immi-
grant dwellings, medical help and the
relief and maintenance of existing
schools and the building of new schools
including agricultural, industrial re-
search and experimental stations.
Ii was urged that the entire organ
ization of the Zionists for collecting
money he devoted solely TO these col
lectlons, except the Jewish national
fund, and that special tithe committees
be appointed Immediately with wide
authority for making collections.
The conference appointed II policy
committee consisting of twenty-one
members to frame IL political program,
for observance i'll Palestine, in accord
ance with a suggestion of DR. Weise-
man, member of the Palestine commit
tee appointed lH liking George, who
urged the necessity of Il common meth

1t is expected that building to

The committee reported that ii was
