ReneOed Vote of Confidence Ends Crisis Which Threatened
Unity of Zionist Executive

A dramatic situation in the Four
teenth Zionist Congress, fraught with
the most serious possibilities for the
future Of Zionism, was ended today
by an overwhelming vote in favor of
the present powers that be. The skies
cleared with the Zionist Congress
adopting n resolution declaring that
the leadership Of DR.. j. NJ. Weizman
was absolutely necessary in the in
terests of Zionism.
For several days the Zionist Con-
gress had listened to criticisms of the
present administration from various
sources. Rumors were ripe that DR..
Stephen Wise, president Of the Ameri-
can Jewish Congress, would be put
forward as a candidate for the presi-
dency of the Worlds Zionist Organiza-
tion. The rumor gathered strength
when the resignation Of DR.. Ruppin
from the Zionist Executive was fol
lowed by the resignation of the other
members of the Zionist Executive in
cluding DR.. Weizman himself. The
previous resignation of DR.. Wezman,
following rather lukewarm express
sion of confidence by the Congress by
vote Of 1876 to II las against total
of 305 delegates registed in the Con
gress) had been embodied in the fol-
lowing statement:
I'm consequence of the vote Of last
nights session and the preceding
declarations, the undersigned declare
that under these circumstances they
are not in position to participate in
the new executive which is to be
elected by the Congress"
The statement of the Zionist leader
was received in solemn silence by the
delegates. The resignation of the
Executive caused great CONSERVATION
among all groups so that the session
had to be postponed until this eve
ming. The Zionist executive, the
praesidium Of the Congress, the ac-
tions committee and the committee on
committee held joint meeting
that afternoon to consider the situa-
tion. Leaders Of all the groups went
into session to consider the resigna-
ton of the Executive. The crisis was
declared of grave character in view
Of the fact that the oppositional
groups are not able to produce list
of candidates of their own.
The vote of confidence resolution
which was accepted by the Congress
read as follows: "The Fourteenth

land speculation in Palestine and be-
cause Of the fact that the executive
participated in the fight against labor
autonomy" Ie. however, expressed
confidence in DR.. Arthur Ruppin and
regretted his resignation.
The radical Zionists and the Zionist
rcvisionists declared that they would
vote against the Executive, the first be-
cause of "the weakness of the execu-
tive all along the lire and the second
group mainly because THE Execu-
tive has made pacifsm n program in
the political and economic field and
with regard to the question of the
protection of the Jewish settlement in
Palestine"
An interesting incident occurred
when Vlodimir Jabotinsky took the
floor to read the statement on behalf
of the Zionist revisionists. DR., Weiz-
Congress how large was the group for
whom Mr.. Jabotinsky wished to make
the statement. Jabotinsky replied:
-Four. out of which two are Palestin-
ians." The chairman, DR.. Motzkin,
added that Jabotinsky's group is en-
titled to do so. DR.. Weizman then in
terrupted. 81 don't oppose it" DR.,
Motzkin then, turning to DR.. Weizman
declared; "You have no right to op-
pose it. Only the Congress is entitled
to do So
The Wednesday night session be
gan at 1890 under the Craftsmanship
of DR.. Leo Motzkin. At the suggestion
of Nahum Sokolow the Congress de-
cided to extend congratulations to the
Hebrew poet, Saul Tschernichowski
on the occasion of his fiftieth birth
day. Mr.. Tschenichowski, who was
present at the Congress, was warmly
applauded.
The general debate then continued
in order to give an opportunity to the
Zionist executive members to appear
before the Congress for the last time
before the vote. DR.. George Halpern,
replying to his critics, stated that he
was neither reactionary nor the de-
fender of capitalists, but was anxious
to gee greater Jewish immigration
to Palestine, where all classes will
engage in productive work. at is
politically unwise and harmful to say
that certain parts of the immigration
are undesirable elements. Our enemies

ing for the Zionist executive in Jeru-
salem, declared that during the past
year the expenses of the Zionist execu-
tive on immigration were reduced to
/ per cent per capita.
Mr., Sprinzak, head of the labor and
immigration department of the Zionist
executive in Jerusalem, in his report
to the Congress today predicted that
in twenty years from now Palestine
will have Jewish population of not
less than 100000.

averaged 1900 monthly this year"
he said .'In the next two years this
will grow to 10000 annually
No unemployment is prevalent in
the country in spite of the new arriv-
ais" Mr.. Sprinzak stated. "This is
due to the spirit of self-sacrifice OF
the pioneers, their capacity of adapt
ing themselves to the new environ
ment, and to the policy Of the Zionist
institutions in the country.
A report of the activities of the
Jewish National Fund, a fund created

amounted to 100000. Poland was
the only country to fulfill her pledge
of raising 100000 for the Jewish Ma
tional Fund" Mr.. Ussichkin declared
However, million Jewish Nationa

New York, Aug 2I.--The relation
letween the campaign Of the Joint Dis
tributiOn Committee for M5,OOO,0OO for
Jewish relief and colonization work In
Soviet Russia and the Palestine recon
struction work, was the subject of nm
exchange of letters between David A.

chewitz of Cincinnati, Ohio.
Having been invited TO participate in
the national conference of the j. ID. G.

delphia ON September 1913. Mr.. Man
ischewitz addressed the following letter
to Mr.. A. NJ Greenfield, chairman of
the Philadelphia reception committee:
In their letter of invitation they
point out that the purpose of this con-
ference is to discuss the problem con-
fronting the Jews in foreign lands, as
well as the proposed colonization of
Jews in Russia. | am wondering why
the colonization of Jews in Palestine is
not being embodied in their program.
am Interested to know the entire pro
gram Of action that will come up be
fore the conference, and would appre-
ciate if you will furnish me with an
outline. II is my particular desire to
have this program before going so that
may study each item separately be
fore participating in the conference"
The letter brought the following re-
ply from Mr. David a. Brown: First,
