my good friends and comrades in the
Zionist cause in Lowell that we re-
signed from active participation in
the leadership Of the Zionist Organi-
zation Of America because we could
not continue unless certain conditions
which we had named were complied
with. We asked for division Of the
funds Of the Keren Hayesod. We ask
ed for adequate and indispensable
safeguards-for they were trustees
and these conditions the majority by
an overwhelming vote refused to
grant.

may find it necessary to undertake

we nave the privilege Ol reprlntlnR
herewith two reports Of the Cleveland
Zionist Convention, which we are sure
will be Of intense interest. One is by
DR.. Stephen s. Wise Of New York, a
former vice-president Of the Zionist
Organization, and one Of the most
brilliant and influential Of American
Zionists, who represented Lowell,
Mass, in the convention; and another
report from James Waterman Wise,
his son, who represented Portland,
Oregon. We feel certain that in these
reports, the reader will gain a clear
understanding Of the issues and the
results Of the convention.
New York, June o, 1921.
My Dear Friend:
While l address this letter to you
personally, you will Of course under
stand it is meant not only for you but
for my friends in the Lowell Zionist
Society, who did me he honor Of nam
ing me as their delegate at the Cleve-
land Convention.
The day-by-day reports Of the con-
vention you will have to read, and it is
unnecessary for me to give you de-
tailed story Of what happened. The
thing that stands out is this: The ad-
ministration upon my resolution ask
ed for a vote Of confidence. The dis
cussion Of that resolution constituted
the chief business of the convention.
A series Of important addresses were
made against It and number Of not
able addresses, especially those Of
Professor Frankfurter and Rabbi Sill
yer, were made in the favor. Finally,
by a two-thirds vote the convention
withheld its confidence and approval
from the administration. The result
was that Justice Brandeis, Judge
Mack, Nathan Straus, DR.. Frieden-
wald and | together with all our re-
naming associates deemed 1t neces-
sary to withdraw from active partici-
patton in the leadership Of the Organ
ization. In a sense our resignation
was nothing more than matter OF
form, for we would rot have been
chosen again to will offices we oc-
cupied at the election, which was held
the following day. The vote Of conf
dence having been denied US, we could
not for a moment remain responsible
for the conduct Of the Organization
wish | had the time and tn,
strengthcand have neither one mol
the other-to give you all the reasons
that moved my associates and myself
to take this serious and important
step,-a step which We took with ut
q most reluctance and with very real re
gret. It must suffice, and ! know !

men who have for five years and more
led the Zionist movement, il semed
most clear that these designations
were imperative. There had been fun
damental differences in principle and
in policy between the Zionist Ameri-
can leaders and many Of the Zionist
delegates, who at the convention were
banded together under the name Of
"the opposition" These differences
were not passing questions as to i'm
mediate policy or the details Of ad-
ministration, but deep-rooted and ut
terly conflicting ideas as to the ends
to be achieved and the methods to be
utilized by the Zionist Organization.
The members Of the opposition were
in considerable majority at the con-
vention. II was necessary that their
policies should be given a trial and
that their principles should be tested.
And to accomplish this end, the resig-
nation from office Of all the leaders
Of the old administration was requir-
ed.
The fundamental differences which
have been mentioned were many. But
there was among them none which
stands out as most important and
which formed the storm-centre Of dis
cussion. This was the question rs to
the Keren Hayesod. II is in regard to
this fund. which the Convention final
ly indorsed, tha tthe chief issue arose.
The former American leaders insisted
on two things.-first, that there
should be absolutely no commingling
Of investments and dorations, at least
in the United States; and, second.
that, IL the American leaders were to
take part in the raising Of funds for
the Keren Hayesod, they must have
absolute guarantees as TO the way and
the purpose in which and for which
the moneys were to be used. And more
than thatl As one OF the leaders Of
the administration said, "we demand
not only safeguards but safeguard
ians. II was this demand on their part
that the gifts for Palestine be spent
carefully, eonscientiously, and only
for Palestine that was interpreted by
action from and revolution against the
opposition to be form Of separate
World Zionist authority. II was upon
this issue that the American leaders
went down to defeat.
Upon the resignation Of the Amer.
lean officers, the Organization wa:
reformed and was put in charge Of I
committee Of seven and a secretary
and treasurer, who we're TO form {
sort Of administrative Council unit

to send. At the same time, ! tis well
for you to know that we who are tenn
porarily defeated are elhted over
what we know is the justness Of our
cause, and there seemed to be a very
real depression and unhappiness
among those who nominally scored
the victory.
As for the future, all Of us,-you
and | alike,-must remain Zionists,
working with all our heart and
strength for the upbuilding Of Pales-
tine.
Faithfully yours,
STEPHEN S. WISE.

u. c. V. EDUCATIONAL
FUND GROWING RAPIDLY
Board of Directors Appointed. Mrs.
w. H. Gurr General Chairman.

The Confederate veteran memorial
educational fund has increased to such
an extent that a change in the man
agement has been made necessary.
This matter was acted on at the re-
cent business session of the Mary
Brantley Chapter, y. D. C., and a
board of directors has been appointed,
Mrs. w. H. Gurr by virtue of her of
fee in the educational work, is general
chairman; the other members are Miss
Minnie Bridges, chairman of scholar
ship work, DR.. and Mrs. L. Lamar
and Mr.. ]. c. Dukes. No better in
vestment of money can be made than
in educating our home girls and boys
who are descendants of the Confed-
crate heroes the country seeks to hon
or in this method, which will be of
far reaching good. 1t is hoped that
generous contributions may be receiv-
ed from time to time to meet the
growing needs.
Any Terrell county girl or boy in
terested in a college course may learn
something to their interest by COM
municating at once with Miss Minnie
Bridges, chairman of gift scholarships
for the local U. D. c. chapter.
By decision of the executive board
only those making application through
the scholarship chairman will be con-
sidered. Miss Bridges requests prompt
action, as the time is limited for plac-
ing scholarships.

SUNDAY SCHOOLS
HAD ENJOYABLE DAY
ANNUAL PICNIC Al MAGNO-
LA LAKE THURSDAY WAS
LARGELY ATTENDED.

Everything conspired to make the
union Sunday school picnic Thurs sday
one of the happiest occasions in the
history of Dawson. Committees rep
resenting the different churches did
their work so thoroughly and system
atically there was not a particle of
confusion in transferring the large
crowd and the lunch baskets from
Dawson to the picnic grounds, Mag
nolia lake, near Shellman.
Barrels of sure enough lemonade
was free for all throughout the day,
and ice cream was put on sale by en-
terprising boys for the convenience of
the crowd
The place selected was ideal for
such an outing, furnishing plenty OF
shade in addition to the lake, which
offered great sport for those who en-
joy swimming and boating. A good
part of the crowd spent most of the
day in the water.
Lunch spread on long tables was
abundant and satisfying, consisting of
almost everything tempting in the cul-
mary line. The spread was sufficient
for twice the number present The
hospitality of DIR. Leroy Crittenden
in extending the privileges of the
grounds is more than ever appreciated
since the people have seen for them
selves how much of natural beauty
and added conveniences the place has
to offer for an ideal outing.

DAWSON GIRL WINS
THIRD PLACE AT ATHENS
Represented Dawson a Thigh School
Meet. Mr. Petty Delayed.

Mr.. H. o. Read, Miss Esther Hind
and Mr.. Louis Petty, representing the
Dawson high school, attended the
state high school meet at Athens Fri
day. Miss Hind won third place in
music, which is quite a distinction,
considering the large number of con-
testants from the schools in every
section of the state.
Unfortunately Mr.. Petty's train was
delayed in Macon, and he reached the
auditorium too late for the contest and
his alternate having filled the place.
Mr.. Petty, however, was presented to
the audience and was well received.
1t is a matter of deep regret that he
failed to enter the contest, as his
friends confidently expected him to
get first place in the state as he did
in the district meet at Ashburn some
weeks ago.
Miss Hind returned on the early
train Sunday, Messrs. Read and Petty
staying over in Atlanta for a short
visit with friends at Emory Univer-
sity through Sunday and arriving in
Dawson Monday morning.
