New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1920-08-22

airy president, not because of the ex-
allied position he occupies in, American
public life, nor because he is regarded
as the foremost American Jew. He was
chosen to this position, heretofore
never accorded to an American Jew,
because of his broadness Of vision and
his keen understanding of big enter
lprises. On that account his co6pera-
ton was so much sought after, despite
the fact that his judicial position will
limit his contribution to the restora-
ton of Zion, to that of an honorary
and advisory, instead of an active,
capacity
The same principle, Of future serv-
ice, determined the selection of Dr..
Chavlm Weigmann, as president of the
executive. In view of the important
work that will still have to be carried
on between the government of Great
Britain and the Zionist Organization
in the settlement of the Jewish Ma
tlonal Home, and also in view Of his
standing in the British and Jewish
world, DR.. Weigmann is indispensable
to an efficient working executive.
Sokolow Zionist Envoy
Nahenn Sokolow has a seat on the
executive, because he will bring to it
experience and knowledge gained in
many wears of service as Zionist diplo-
matte envoy
The election Of Lord Rothschild
hardly needs Interpretation. If the
large sums of money the Zionists will
ask for are to be forthcoming if the
Jewish people are to pour out their mil
lions, there will have to he assurenco
that these sums will be we'll spent,
and with the greatest amount Of
economy. Lord Rothschild's member
ship on the executive is sure to de-
mand the confidence essential to Oh
tain the full cooperation of the richer
American ana English Jews.
Of equal standing are the rest Of
the men chosen. In each case the
