won increased power and prestige from
which the movement as y whole has.
undoubtedly. benefited. This power and
prestige has not been economic hut
moral and intellectual. The admins
tration Of the American Zionist organ
ization IL anxious that thc views of
American Iionists nj the internnti tionRl
gatherings. especially nt the next Zion
ist World congress. should he amply
supported by the quantity of its dele
gates ms well ms their quality. In or
der To insure such an adequate rcprescn-
taiion the membership Of the organi-
zation will have TO be increased 50 that
a body Of at least IL delegates will be
entitled to represent the Zionist Of the
United States AT this gathering.
Contact between Palestine, the oh
jectiye Of the movement, and the lead
ers " American Zlonism Is becoming
more and more intimate. Louis Robi-
son, for many years one Of the leaders
OF the movement In positions of high
trust, Is leaving with his family short
ly for the homeland. The vic,-chair-
man Of the organization, Bernard A.
RnSenblatt, Is leaving fer another visit
Ia Palestine next week. And we have
just received word by cable from Louis
Llpsky, chairman Of the organization.
Of his intention To leave for Palestine
early In October. The departure Of
these men serves to bring into relief the
fact that the number Of American Jews
proceeding to Palestine is constantly ON
the increase. as revealed by the records
of the Palestine Bureau OF the Organi-
sation nnd by the Palestine lmmigrn-
tion figures
The biggest problem in the life of the
Jewish people has been, and still Is, the
nent and agonizing problem beset with
human suffering and tragedy. In the
effort to escape some of its tragic con-
sequences, some of our people turn to
channels which seem To offer momen-
tary relief but which the facts of jew
ish history have proven again and
again cannot bring a solution. The set
tlement of Jews in the Crimea and in
Mexico may afford more or less tempo
IL.
hut cannot materially ease the situation.
II Is rcgrettable that all Jewish forces
do not combine for the development Of
Palestine as an immigration center
where. under the rrOper economic con-
,liiions. Jewish life can he stable and
Self-conlained and not be subject TO the
whmS and viccitideS of countries over
whose destiny they have no control.
That Palestine can become such cen
ter Of Immigration is ntteste,l by the
latest figures revealing an average of
about 1000 arrivals in Palestine in
the past three months With proper
acticn on the part of the Jewries of the
world the economic stability and pro-
ductivity of these newcomers can be So
cured, The facts OF Jewish history ms
well as Of Jewish destiny point clearly
to policy Of concentration for the up
building of Palestine.
In the internal life OF American
Jcwry, ZioniSm Is, undoubtedly. the
dominant spiritual and social force 1t
expresses itself in numerous ways all
tending towards the single the objec-
tive Of restoring production and dig
niiied Jewish life In Palestine The
administration Of the Zionist Organizn-
tion of America, the official vehicle of
this impulse, calls upon its members
and the community generally for CO.
operation and good will in carrying
this aim nearer TO realization.
