West Forty-second street OF a commit
tee of the minority group appointed to
confer with Supreme Court Justice Bran

Zionist organization.
After hearing the views expressed by
and others it was agreed that as far as
the attitude of the minority group tow
ard the new Zionist administration was
concerned there shall be no active an
tagonism. but 1t was decided that no
member of the minority group shall ac-
cept an election as delegate to the forth
coming Zionist convention at Carlsbad
next September.

the delegates at the Carlsbad conven-

members will retain their individual az
filiations with the Zionist movement.
Justice Brandeis stated that 1t might be
found pre- ctical to launch a series of
wholesale cooperative enterprises in
Palestine. completely segregated from
any activities undertaken now or in the

BOLSHEVSM AND MODERN
 SOCIALISM.

On Wednesday evening, Jan. uary twelfth, the residents of Nogales were handed real treat in the way of a lecture by David Goldstein, nationally known au thority on the subject of Social ism,
 The address was given at the Santa, Cruz Club and all the chairs that could be obtained were found to be necessary to accommodate the audience that was on hand to hear this we'll known speaker. Mir. Goldstein was here under. the auspices of the Knights of Columbus. He is one of a number of speakers now touring throughout the Un- ited States Every one of these speakers deal with subject deemed of the utmost importance in these days of readj ustment following the war. These lee lures form a link in the great chain known as the general edu cational campaign of the Knights of Columbus. Each speaker is we'll qualified to speak on the various SuOJec6S assigned nlm. All are matters of great interest to the people of the country at large. All are subjects of great political moment rather than subjects dealing with religion: No better proof of the popularity of these lectures need be ad vanced than calling attention to the interested and enthusiastic crowds that everywhere attend these affairs.
 It is certain that those who failes to hear Mr.. Goldsteip missed one of the rare treats of the year and will sincerely re gret it. Those who were forum ate enough to attend will be looking forward to the day when David Goldstein again comes to our little city to favor it with another address.
