opponents fer oppositions sake being
rather scarce. the administration had
little difficulty in having its proposals
adopted MS the will of the convention
and as recommendations to the mp
proaching Zionist Congress.
The principle underlying the whole
series of proposals is the integrity and
authority Of the World Zionist Organi-
zatiOn. !. AcceptanceNOf this principle Is

hardly any difference. What the
World Congrcssists who received hut
ten votes proposed was thnt the World

They. apparently, did not fear that the
World Congress would dtslodge the
Zionist Organization. Nor did thsy

show sufficient interest and call the

be invited guests.

Is not too much to say that he will
either get 1t from the Congress or re-
sign his leadership. In the light Of the
support the Americans gave him SO
unstintingly, the advices from Carlsbad
that he has ordered n room at the hotel
where the Americans will be stopping

tends to lean heavily on the American
delegation and he will undoubtedly
base his claim for accession to his de-
mands on his political and financial
success in America.
1t was the Administrations candor
that silenced the thin small voice Of
many of the delegates crying for peace
with the Palestine Development Coun-
Gil, under the Brandeis-Mack- Wise
leadership. AS against the desire Of
many for reconciliation, which the
Administration truly holds to be unat-
tninnble the administration presented
quite respectable array of achieve
ments. One of these achievements is
the Kertn Haycsod. For, to which ever
extraneous causes one wishes to at
tribute the comparative success of the
fund the administration is justified in
asserting that its Inspiration, guidance
and persistence made it possible. So
also with regard to the organization
itself which. though it incurred n
heavy deficit, insisted and persisted
on living on its own resources, without
drawing on the Keren Haycsod. These
outstanding achievements resulted in
the feeling on the part of the major
! ity that Zionist success is possible even
while the retired leaders choose to CON
time in retirement. This feeling was
responsible for the solemn unanimity
which greeted the cold-blootled motion
