licularly outspoken in their utteranccs
regarding the failure of the American

rs everywhere else, to carry out the
decision of that conference in accord

the Zionist World Organization. Dr.
Levine as well as Rev. Masliansly in
dicated in various ways that the chief
reason why the American Zionist lead
sary and important work required, by
the present moment. Is due chiefly to
the fact that they do not realize the
actual situation in Palestine and til I
they fail to understand that now in
dividunls and sections can no longer
achieve the realization of Palcstinc's
redemption but that the people in its
entirety must be brought into the
work and given the fullest opportunity
to participate. The committee which
called the conference was empowered
To act and make all necessary arrange
ments for the reception nf the Euro

of campaign for the Keren Hayes
