BALTIMORE, Md, December "a
Charging that the power trust is in the
Government from top to bottom" ="
Senator George W. Norris, Progressive
Republican. of Nebraska, told members
of the Baltimore Open Forum in the
course of an address here yesterday,
that the people would have to take
over the power trust" in order to keep
business out of politics.
Senator Norris, in his address, which
was titled Save the Schools" referred
to the distribution of propaganda in
schools of the Nation by public utilities,
as developed by congressional investi-
CATION and deplored the secrecy which
he charged surrounded the entire activ-
tiles of the power companies in this line.
Turning to attempts to control legis-
lation, Senator Norris said that $500, 900
had been appropriated in one year by
utilities for this purpose, principally In
the Senate, which has less than 100
members" He said that no bribes were
offered, as "the matter was handled in
other ways"
In this connection, he cited $4,000
retainer fee paid to former Senator
who appeared before Senate commit
tee, and added that they never en1=.
ployed him for his ability as an attorney,
and 1t is believed in the Senate he was
paid $l9,995 more than his services were
worth"
In reply to question, Senator Norris
said that he believed all that was needed
to eliminate the danger of the power
trust was to expose the propaganda.
Let the people know the truth, and
they'll take oare Of the schools" he
said. u,an IL M ~ aMGsA -

Another happening of holiday chacac-
ter occurred when Bolivia followed
Paraguay in accepting conciliation of
their tense dispute by the Pan-Ameri-

The exchanges seem destined to have
an effect upon the Gondra Convention,
a pact which was hailed at its incep-
ton as an insurance of peace in Latin
America. Bolivia said she could not
accept mediation under that conven-
ton because her Congress had never
ratified it. Steps to strengthen Gondra
pact are being considered by the Pan
American gathering.
Bolivia also pleased League Of Nation
circles by making reference to the peace
efforts of that organization in her ac-
ceptance of the Washington proposal.

RABBI ATTACKS
NON-z|0N|ST RULE
Their Inclusion in Agency
Council Declared Contrary
to Palestine Mandate.
BY the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
BERLIN, December 24-Rabbi Ste
phen Wise of New York arrived here
too late to prevent the adoption Satur-
day night by the World Zionist Or
ganization of a plan to broaden the
Jewish Agency by the inclusion Of nom
zionists. Under this plan the agency
council will consist of 100 zionists and
100 non-ZioniStS, of which 40 will be
Americans.
Although arriving too late to influence
the voting, DR.. Wise was granted the
courtesy of hearing. in which he de-
nounced the plan as contrary to the
Palestine mandate and said that the
secret session in which the matter was
decided would prove harmful to Zionist
interests because secret diplomacy has
been condemned by the world.
Secret Declaration Hit.
"The Balfour declaration and the
mandate for Palestine" he said, "were
openly secured through public opinion
and should not be endangered through
secret deliberation." He declared that
the duty under the mandate could not
be taken over entirely or in part by
those refusing to pledge themselves to
establishing Jewish national home in
Palestine. He held that helping Pales-
tine could not be accepted as a Substi-
tute for building Jewish home there.
He charged the resolution adopted with
violation of the rule prohibiting change
in the mandate.
In his speech, DR.. Wise said: "In
insisting on this limitation we ZionistS
do not distrust the non-Zionists. AS
trustees for the Jewish people, their
rights are given them by mandate.
1T is our duty to provide for re-
sumption of our responsibility If these
rights are imperiled. While the Jewish
national home cannot be built in ten
years it may be destroyed In three (the
duration of the adopted agreement).
At this crisis no Zionist dares be silent
when the sacred ark of zionism Is
threatened"
Resolution Amended.
Although unable to prevent passage
of the resolution, as the result Of the
address of Dr. Wise. the council
amended it by defining the object of
the proposed agency as "the establish
ment OF a Jewish national home In
Palestine"
Later DR.. Wise said that the resolu-
ton would not bring the enlarged
agency into being until after 1t had
been approved by the Zionist congress.
He said he would oppose it before the
congress and even supporters of the
agency were in agreement that 'it
means the death Of the Zionist organi-
Zation."
