THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

to the life of minority, especially an
unpopular minority, SO graphically
portrayed. Professor Bernhardi-tall,
dignifed, solitary, guided by ma
terialism far more ideal than the
finest Observation-Disclosures all the an
guish incident to the life of those
whom fate has chosen to cast in a
different mould, be they races or in
dividuals.
A dying girl suffering from blood
poison is in state of suphoria "a
feeling of well-being) at the hospital
of which DR.. Bernhardi is the head.
A priest is called in by pious nurse.
Professor Bernhard fears that if the
girl sees the priest her true condition
will dawn on her and she will die i'm
mediately, suffering all the agonies
that goes with blood poisoning. He
refuses entrance of the priest into the
sick room and the upshot is an uproar
in the newspapers and in the Diet.
He can avoid the consequences if he
votes for the appointment of an in
competent man to fill a vacancy on
the staff. He refuses. All the ma
chinery Of the state and the church
is put into action and he goes to Jail.
Wire pulling with politicians would
get him pardon, but he refuses to
have any truck with this sort of in
dividual. There was nothing terrible
in going to Jail, so long as he had
committed no crime.
When Bernhard is freed, the priest
comes in and tells him that he had
acted rightly in refusing admittance.
When asked why he had not said so
in court, he replies that it would have

something far more important than
the interest of any individual.
Bernhard has no words for this
sort of sophistry and shakes hands
with him over gulf which he feels
must ever remain between them.
sCHNITzLER,s LIFE
Schnitzler was born in Vienna in
1852. His father was throat special
list and professor at the university.
The son studied medicine and later
became associated with his father as
editor on the Wiener klinische Rund
schau and collaboration on medical
book still the best of it's kind, accord
ing to the testimony Of some physi-
clans. He travelled to England and
contributed papers to various publica-
tions, both professional and popular.
He is quiet man of retiring dis
position, impatient with, adulation,
and prodigious toiler. A brooding
calmness emanates from his pale,
long-bearded face-cr eased with
thought-and creates an atmosphere
of distinction about him. His eyes
are ever alight with an affectionate
smile.
But those who know him personally
say that he is none the less a very
sad man. AS sad as Joseph Conrad
perhaps the saddest man in Europe.
But unlike the famous Pole, who is
never known to smile, he is always
smiling. Is it the smile of him whose
vision has reached beyond the depths ?
Or is it the smile of a Heine ?--the
smile that hides tear? Who knows?

was divided on the question who is to
be entrusted with the function Of the
Jewish Agency, pending it's formation.
DR.. Weizmann and Mr.. Sokolow,
the former president of the World
Zionist Organization, the latter chair
man of the Executive Committee, hav-
ing demanded that they be empowered
to coopt interested parties and indi-
viduals to constitute temporarily the
Agency. It was finally decided that
the Executive Committee as whole
be declared the Provisional Jewish
Agency, with the understanding that
it be strengthened and expanded by
coopting other elements. Both DIR.
Weizmann and Mr.. Sokolow are, how
ever, recognized as the official repre-
sentatives of the Agency in its deal
ings with the British authorities as
well as the Palestine government.
Instructions to the Zionist Execu-
tive to convoke the regular Zionist
Congress in the early part Of the sum-
mer of 1923 are included in the third
resolution, while the fourth expresses
the wish of the Zionist Organization
that the Jewish Agency be repre-
sentative of all Jewry. The fifth reso-
luton directs the Executive to make
all necessary preparations for the
converting of Jewish World Congress
to undertake the reconstruction of
Palestine"

ZIONIST EXECUTIVE CONFIRMED

Jewish World Congress to be Called
Carlsbad, September 1 q. T. A.
The annual Zionist Conference was
adjourned at five thirty Friday eve
ming under the earnest auspices
caused by the cable from the National
Council of Palestine Jews calling at
tention to the restiveness of the Arabs
and demanding the Concentration of
all forces" upon the Palestine task.
This message was the keynote of DIR.
Weizmann's closing address, who re-
iterated that "the attempts Of Sec

tions of the Arabs to terrorize us will
neither intimidate nor deter U.S."
Nahum Sokolow, after paying trib-
ute to departed Zionists, expressed
the hope that the Keren Hayesod
fund" will really be the foundation
fund.-" The conference was then de-
clared closed by Chief Rabbi Chajes
of Vienna, one of the presiding Off
GERS.
Almost the last business of the con-
ference was the adoption Gin princi
pie" of Jean Fischer's resolution for,
the appointment of a reorganization
commission of three with power to
reconstruct the Zionist Agencies"
Mr.. Fischer's resolution provided that
none of the three be members of the
Executive, the mover protesting when
the choice of the commission was left
to the Actions Committee.
A message was read from DR.. Max
Nordau, the veteran Zionist sage, de-
ploring his inability, because of the
state of his health, to continue his
work in the movement, and expressing
the hope, which was loudly applauded,
that he would soon return.
The sessions were earnest, animal
ed and at times bitter, due to the i'm
portance of the topics under consid-
GRAFTON. The censure of Jabotinsky
for his agreement with Petlura, and
of Weitzmann for his acceptance of
Churchill's definition of the scope Of
the Balfour Declaration in the "White
Book; discussion of the nature of the
"Jewish Agency" and of the advis-
ability of calling World Congress;
the size of the Palestine; donation
fund versus private initiative as the
basis of the Keren Hayesod, these
were but a few of the problems, feel
ing over which ran high.
The most important discussion CEN
tered around the resolutions relating
to the constitution of the Jewish
Agency. Five resolutions were adopt
ed. The first provided for the en-
dorsement of the fourth paragraph of
the Palestine Mandate recognizing the
Zionist Organization as the Jewish
Agency, but recurring it to coopt
other elements willing to assist in the
Palestine task.
The second resolution provides for
the assumption by the Zionist Organ
ization of the rights and functions of
the Jewish Agency. The Executive

DONATION FUND VERSUS PRI-
VATE INITIATIVE DEBATED

Following DR.. Arthur Ruppin's ex-
pose Of the financial program of the
Zionist Organization, conflicting opin-
ions were submitted by delegates as
to the form of the Keren Hayesod.
DR.. Ruppin had proposed that the
Palestine expenditure be classified
under three heads: Commercial, semi
commercial and unproductive. Under
the first head, he included mortgage
banks, industrial credits and land pur-
chases. Under the second classified
ton he included colonization, second
mortgages and establishment of new
and untried industries. Education,
sanitation and similar activities Dr.
Ruppin classified as unproductive.
The first, he said, properly belongs
to private initiative but which may
be undertaken by the Zionist Organi-
cation only in the absence of pri-
vate capital. The Keren Hayesod, he
said, should foster unproductive and
semi-commercial enterprises, making
special provision for a separate fund
for the semi-commercial activities,
such as colonization which may later
become profit-bearing.
DR.. Ruppin's dictum that new
means require new methods" was pro-
vocative Of a detailed discussion. The
conference seemed to be divided into
two camps; those believing that the
Keren Hayesod is and remains the sole
financial arm of the Zionist Organiza-
ton, with Maaser as it's basic prin-
ciple, and those who shared DR.. Rup-
pins view Of its functions. The adj
herents to DR.. Ruppin's view include
some of the American delegates, par
ticularly Messrs. Lipski and Goldberg
of the American Zionist Administra-
ton. The Polish delegates, including
Mr.. Gotlieb and Rabbi Farbstein con-
tended that it was impossible to build
up Palestine on donations. Mr.. Scho-
ken, representing the Zionist Econom-
ic Council declared, on the basis of
his recent visit to Palestine, that the
Zionist organization must strictly dis
tinguish between political and econ
omic work. leaving the economic work
to be conducted along authentic eco
nomic principles.
The proposal that the profit-bearing
enterprises be distinguished from the
Improbable, is finding increasing IA
vor. Concretely, DR.. Rupin's sug-
gestion for the promotion of five speci-
fic campaigns by the Jewish Colonial
Trust the Mortgage Bank, the Work
ers' Bank, the Ruttenberg project and
the University has been endorsed by
the American delegation who asserted
that the Keren Hayesod, far from be-
ing weakened would be strengthened
by separate collections for productive
enternrises

And he goes away to be shot for an

When the news of his death is

'It was done very quietly" she is

Most critics believe that his "Ein-
same Veg" is his greatest. But that
is very likely due to the fact that
most critics are not young men, in
) years or otherwise, and therefore feel
the loneliness of age most keenly.
An aging artist is trying to win
the affection of his natural son, to
; console his declining years. But the
only father the son knows is the one
who brought him up. The melancholy
artist is forced to go away and con-
tinue in his loneliness. It is a tragedy
without the usual Shakespearean
blood and thunder at the close, but is
4 one the less tragic. However, the
characters lack that magic warmth
