All Must Support Plan.
Cooperation Of all Jews, whether
Zfonists or non-Zionists, in the up
building of Palestine as the Jewish
homeland was urged by Louis Lipsky
OF New York. chairman, in his open
ing address yesterday.
To this end, Mr.. Lipsky said, fhe
delegates should strongly support the
proposal for extension Of the Jewish
Agency, provided by the Palestine
mandate to cooperate in the Pales-
tine movement, to include both Zion
lists and non-Zionists. The World
Zionist Organization is now desig-
mated as the agency and the question
of changing the basis of its member
ship to include half Zionists and half
non-Zionists Is to come up for final
action at the Vienna World Zionist
Congress in August.
The chairman'S views on the QueS-
ton supported the position of DR..
Chain WeiZmann, president of the
World Zionists, who sent a message
to the convention urging extension
of the agency and declaring Jews
throughout the world were closely
watching to see what action American
Zionists would take on the question.
The convention heard a report from
Col. Frederick H. Kisch of the Pales-
tine Zionist Executive, showing that,
with the Jewish population in Pales-
tine 10000, already having doubled
since the war, the migration of Jews
there now has increased to more than
1000 a month.
Credit Great Need.

of the chief needs of Palestine, al
though the situation was being i'm
proved, he said. by an increase in the
number of more prosperous settlers.
Although expressing qualification at
the general progress achieved in
Palestine in the past year, the annual
report of the administrative commit

authorities in certain administrative
matters as having tended to disturb
the development of normal condi-

Pledges British Aid.
J. Boyce Broderick, counselor of
the British embassy, in conveying to
the convention the greetings of Am
bassador Howard. who is in England. 1.
declared Great Britain can be relied
upon to carry out fully it's pledge to
e-establish the Jewish homeland in
Palestine.
While there may be natural sense
of impatience that events do not
march more rapidly in Palestine" he
said, in view of what has been ac-
complished in the last few years. such
impatience is really not justified by
the facts"
II feel confident" Mr.. Broderick
added, that the difficulties which
naturally present themselves to the
accomplishment of all you desire will
be quickly overcome. At all events,
may say that in so far as the British
government can accomplish that, they
will be quickly overcome"
