▪ THE JEWISH CHRONICLE 16 Zionist Convention at Baltimore Begins June 24 The New Will Be Most Important Gathering in History of Move- ment—Will Last Until June 28-1,000 Delegates to Attend Every indication is that the conven- tion which begins in Baltimore on June 24 will be the largest as well as the most important that the Zionists have ever held 'in this country. It gains importance front the fact that it follows almost immediately upon the adjournment of the first Zionist Con- gress ever held in Russia, where a strong stand in favor of Jewish na- tional autonomy in Palestine was taken by the delegates. Of even greater importance is the political situation relating to Palestine and the possibility of an early realization of the plan to "establish a publicly rec- ognized, legally assured homeland for the Jewish people." Although nothing definite is known concerning the pro- gress of the political situation, it is believed in some quarters that the con- vention will be electrified by an im- portant announcement by those who may speak with authority in the mat- ter; at any rate, the anticipation that this convention may mark an historic moment in the life of the Jewish peo- ple is whetting the eagerness with which the delegates are flocking to Baltimsore, and is causing the eyes of many Jewish people to be strained to- ward that city. Several hundred delegates are al- ready in Baltimore and every train ar- riving Sunday morning will be met by reception committees who will help the delegates to get located quickly and proceed to the convention hall. Including the delegates of the subor- dinate branches of the movement, it is antiCipated that there will be very nearly one thousand delegates to this convention. Among the organizations represented will be the Provisional Executive Committee for General Zionist Affairs, the Federation of Am- erican Zionist s, Hadassah, the Achooza-Comonwcalth Organization, the Intercollegiate Zionist Association, the Palestine Bureau, the Histadruth Ibrith and Young Judaea.
