Mr.. Colbert will receive a check
for the prize offered by Mr.. Jar
muth, the selection of which def
milton was by the terms OF the offer
left to the editor OF The World.
II has not been an easy matter
to select a single definition from the
many offered. Scores of the diff
nltions commanded very earnest
consideration. Three were finally
referred to impartial and disinter-
ested individuals for their views.
These were the definitions sent in
by c. w, Joshua, of Coweta and of
p. II. Moronoey. of Tulsa, in addi-
ton TO the one submitted by Mr..
Colbert.
In seeking to arrive at the decis-
Ion it was necessary to keep in mind
the political purposes and require
ments of the founders OF the govern
ment as set forth In It's basic law.
Hence The point stressed by many
contributors, that the recognition of
one God, could not be entertained.
because the Americanism OF the fun
damental law of the republic does
not require recognition of a God or
any religious doctrine: this govern
ment is purely civil or political
government, separated with meticu-
| atlons or beliefs; under which mere
| affirmation is accepted quite as
| freely as an oath.
Americanism does no. require any
sort of a religious belief. yet It does
| guarantee all citizens the right to
worship according to the dictates of
| conscience, other interesting def
nitions are submitted herewith:

revoking of the Balfour Declaration,
Mr.. Fisher charged. DR.. Arthur Rup-
pin, a member of the Zionist Execu-
tive in Palestine, declared that actual
cooperation between Jew and Arab
in Palestine will be accomplished only
after generations, but what is neces-
sary and possible today is a different
psychological attitude" towards the
Arab question.
. By far the most important question
is the formation of the Jewish Agen-
cy. It looms up at every turn. DR..
Weizmann's declaration is considered
by certain delegates to be evasive, as
it fails to fix the time for the ulti-
mate composition of the Agency.
Three views are receiving wide cir
culation and are widely discussed in
the lobbies. One view is that the
Zionist Organization, which is recog
nized in the Palestine Mandate as the
Jewish Agency shall by itself assume
the Agency's function without delay.
The second view is, that the Agency
should be set up after negotiations
with large Jewish organizations will
ing to cooperate in the upbuilding
of Palestine. The third view and
the one that appears to be the most
acceptable to the majority is that
a special world Congress be called for
the purpose of forming the Agency.
In connection with the proposal that
the Zionist Organization declare it
self the exclusive agency, there is a
project on foot fostered by DR.. Weiz-
mann and Mr.. Sokolow, that the
executive be abolished and the men,
bers of the Agency be elected at this
conference. 1t is thought likely that
pending adjustment of this mooted
question, the chief Zionist leaders

PALESTINE" and to the Earl of Bal
four, the "father of the Palestine
Mandate" An appeal to the Arab
Congress meeting simultaneously in
Nablus, Palestine, conveying the
Jews fraternal greeting and the Zion
list desire for cooperation was sound
ed by David Yellin, chairman of the
National Council of Palestine Jews.
Afternoon Session
Fridays afternoon session was
opened by DR.. Weizmann. His speech
was again of a political nature, re-
viewing the world factors favorable
to Zionism. He stressed particularly
the wide sympathies of the labor par
ties which, he declared, had always
shown an eagerness and a readiness
to aid the movement. DR.. Weizmann
summarized the present Zionist posi-
ton by saying that it hinged upon the
British Governments most recent in
depreciation of the Balfour Declara-
ton and the relations between Jews
and Arabs. 1t is true, he said, that
Interpretation, in particular where it
deals with the regulation of Jewish
immigration is provocative of Gun
easiness." But the White Paper is
not the Mandate; it is simply the re-
Election of the present-day situation,
he continued. Turning to the prob
lem of immigration, DR.. Weismann
said, "Our task today is to pave the
immigrants way with money, and not
have the immigrant precede the flow
of money. If the Zionist budget were
greater, the volume of immigration
would be larger and the White Paper
would have been BETTER"
SokolOw on Americas Help
The political success of the second
Keren Hayesod Delegation to Ameri-
ca, was emphasized by Nahum Soko-
low, it's head. Notwithstanding the
aloofness of the American Govern
ment from general European affairs,
despite the difficulties of segregating
the Palestine problem from the whole
question of the Mandate system, the
American Government unhesitatingly
gave it's approval of the Zionist
movement, Mr.. Sokolow declared.
This, he said, was one important
achievement. The second achieve
ment is of no lesser Importance, was
the well-nigh universal manifestation
of sympathy with the Zionist cause
as shown by the Congress of the Unit
ed States. This approval, he said,
was not superficial nor accidental. tt
was not diplomatic maneuver, but
a fundamental enthusiasm for the re-
naissance of the Jewish people such as
England had shown towards the Greek
people.
Mr.. Sokolow referred to the oppo-
sition in the United States to the
Zionist aspirations, recalling the eff
forts of the Reform Rabbis to "inter-
fere with the Zionist victory" This
interference, he said, caused President
Harding to remark to him, T am an
enthusiastic friend of Zionism, but
you are divided amongst yourselves"
Mr.. Sokolow said also that he had
been authorized to convey congratula-
lions of the French Government to
the Zionist Organization on the con-
frmation of the Palestine Mandate.
Immediately following the leaders
addresses a number of delegates, not
ably those belonging to the opposi-
ton, took the floor, for adverse criti-
cism of the political report. Jean
Fisher of Belgium asserted that the
