to represent. [ desire to thank
particularly the President of this
great republic and the cabinet
members with whom I was priv,
ileged to discuss matters relat-
ing to our cause.
"The destinies of the Zionist
Organization of America have
been entrusted by the Cleveland
convention to group of vigorous
and intellectual Jews, who will
undoubtedly justify the conf
dence reposed in them, and will
shortly command the strength
and resources of the Jewish peo-
pie in this country, to be de-
f1ected ultimately for Palestine.
"Of the gentlemen who were
formerly the leaders of the Zion
ist movement in this country, I
desire only to say that I expect
their full cooperation in Our
work. We have not drifted so
far apart that cooperation in Our
task in Palestine is no longer
possible. United endeavor in be-
half of the Jewish Homeland will,
I am confident, serve to bridge
over all differences between the
former leaders of the American
Zionist Organization and the Of
fcers of the World Zionist Or
ganization,
"There are still dark forces rails
ing their heads in an attempt to
hinder our work in Palestine.
This is often done by over-em-
phasizing the difficulties of our
project. Similar methods were
used when the famous Balfour
Declaration of the British Gov
ernment, promising us to facili-
tate the achievements of the Jew
ish National Home, was about to
be made. There were also at
tempts made to hold up the San
Reno Decision, Incorporating the
Ba1four Declaration in the Treaty
of Peace with Turkey. 49,

took place in Jerusalem on April
last year in order to impress upon
the Allies that it was undesirable

ment's Zionist policy. The re-
currence of anti-Jewish out

breaks in Jaffa is another attempt
of those who are hostile to Zion
ism and the British Government
to prevent the ratification of the
mandate by the council of the
League of Nations.
'We Zionists are determined
to proceed with our work, basing
our hopes upon the Balfour Dec
laration. By no implication or
Interpretation can the true intent
of the Ba1four Declaration be
modified. There can be no re-
tracing or receding. All at
tempts to belittle the declaration,
or to whitt1e down it's meaning
are doomed to failure. We shall
of course help Sir Herbert Sam
uel, the High Commissioner to
Palestine, and the British Govern
ment to make the task in Pales-
tine less and less complicated.
I believe that the Jews in this
country have started to render
the difficult task easier by re-
spending generously to the call of
the World Zionist Organization.
Assisted and encouraged by this
response, we shall continue Our
systematic work and immigration
of Jews into Palestine. What is
best in American Jewry is de-
termined to see Jewish Palestine
built up quickly"

Upon the occasion of your

highest satisfaction with the eff
forts of yourself and colleagues.
American Zionists have reaf-
. firmed the unity of the Zionist
movement and paved the way to
upbuilding of the Jewish Home
by United Jewry. Jews through
out the world will do their ut
most to contribute men and
money, American Jewry doing its
full duty.
(Signed) Nahum Sokolow,
Vladimir Jabotinsky, Joseph
Cowen, Richard Lichtsein, Ber-
tho1d Feiwel.
A message was also received
by DR.. Weizmann from 1t. Col.
Patterson, formerly command
ing officer of one of the Jewish
Batta1ions in Palestine, which
read as follows:
congratulations on your
splendid efforts. I am confident
American Legionnaries, whom
had honor to command will ex-
ert all force to support the Keren
Hayesod which is another and
equally important phase of the
Palestine campaign"
