AMERICAN DELEGATION
Is MOST IMPORTANT.
The American delegation is the most
important in numbers and this i'm
portance is enhanced by the fact that II
represents the richest country IN the
world.
Justice Brandeis is easily the out
standing figure among the American
representatives and chief interest today
centered upon the address which he was
scheduled to deliver this afternoon in re-
Spouse to the welcoming speech.
1t is estimated that S1Oo,OO0,0O0 is neces-
sary for the first years work In restor-
ing Zion. There are sharp differences Of
opinion as to how this money shall be
raised.
Cohen Bernstein, leader Of the Zionist
movement in Russia, proposed to raise it
according TO the biblical Injunction to
give up one-tenth of every income to
common fund.
Another faction suggested national
loan TO be raised on JeWlsh-oWneo Sscur-
tiles in the form of a guarantee fund.
SEND 10000 To
PALESTINE AT ONCE.
Discussing the immigration phrase, Max
Nordau. famous writer, proposed to
dump 10000 immigrants into Palestine
Immediately.
At present, he said, the Jews in Pales-
tine are in the minority and immigration
Is the only solution.
IF we can make Palestine an unques-
tionably Jewish nation the money Will
flow into it." declared N. Nordeau.
There is large group that favors grad
ual colonization to avoid confusion.
All the delegates are of the opinion that
the decision Of the allies at San Reno 70
give Great Britain a mandate over Pales-
tine will eventually leave the administra-
ton of Jewish affairs in Palestine in the
hands OF the Jews themselves.
DR.. WeissmanB, one Of the British dele
gates, is leading a movement for admin
istration of the home land through the
creation Of a new international organiza-
ton, but the Americans oppose this.
The Americans advocate administration
OF affairs through the continuation OF the
present Zionist organization
