THE JEWISH CHRONICLE

nine men to name the working com-
mittees of the convention. It began
with an appeal by Solomon Golden-
berg, anti-administrationist, for an
election of the committee, instead of
its appointment by Dr. Friendenwald.
A motion to that effect was carried
after an amendment had been offered
permitting the nominating, in the open
session, of candidates for places on
the committee.
The fight ended with the naming
of the committee by Dr. Frieden-
wald, and the inclusion therein of a
number of opposition delegates, not-
ably Solomon Goldenberg, Allen
Davis and Dr. Charles Wartzman.
The other members are Dr.•Benjamin
Gordon, Dr. Horace Kallcm, Max
Schulman, Louis Kirstein and Philip
Carmel. Morris Neman is chairman.

$500,000 Raised for Fund.
Sunday night three mass meetings
were held simultaneously in the
Academy, Maryland and Auditorium
theaters. The speakers were Nathan
Straus, Judge Julian Mack, Dr. Max
Heller, Eugene Meyer, Jr., Dr.
Shmarya Levin, who as a member of
the first Russian duma had to flee for
his life when the duma was broken
up; Dr. Leo Motzkin, Dr. Ben Zion
Mossinsohn and the Rev. Dr. S. S.
Wise.
At the mass meeting held at the
Academy Judge Mack, the chairman,
announced these contributions to the
Zionist fund:
Justice
$250,000;
Philadelphia,
Brandeis, $10,000; Mrs. Joseph Fels,
property worth $20,000; San Fran-'
cisco, $35,000; Los Angeles, $5,000;
Ohio, $35,000; Virginia, $5,000; Buf-
falo,1$1,000; Sioux City, $3,500; Chi-
cago, $32,000. -
This means that more than $500,-
000 of the needed $1,000,000 fund for
work it behalf of the Zionist move=
ment has been subscribed or pledged.

Peace Agreement Fight Opens.
In the morning the oppositionists,
expecting the Lipsky report to come
up in the afternoon, held a caucus to
voice their protests against it. They

declared in caucus that they wanted
the Jews of America to voice in the
coming congress an unequivocal de-
mand for a Jewish nation in Pales-
tine, regardless of compromises and
peace agreements. They protested
against the fostering of what they
called the "close corporation" idea by
the executive committee. They de-
manded that "machine rule" be
smashed. They clamored for "de-
mocracy." By the time the federa-
tion convened at the Academy at 2
o'clock they were ready to do battle.
Mr. Lipsky sounded a battle-cry at
the outset. He said, in the course of
his presentation of his report: "If
any official of the American Jewish
Commission issues warnings against
compromises with the anti-Zionists
he is committing a breach of his
duty."
Then he went into the necessity for
a reorganization of Zionism. It
must be able to embrace all Jews
within its principles, he said, and he
declared that it did not help the fed-
eration to have scores of societies
and groups within itself to breed fac-
tionalism.
Criticism of the report of the exec-
utive committee marked the busi-
ness session of the convention. It
was the first opportunity offered the
opposition to give vent to its disap-
proval of the methods and policies of
the administration. In the end, when
the administration forces insisted up-
on a test of strength of the respec-
tive sides, the opposition suffered a
decisive defeat.
Following the reading of the re-
port, a motion was made that it be
accepted. Then the debate started.
Some of the New York delegates
thought the committee had not paid
enough attention to the Zionist can-
didates in that city. Others objected
to the peace arrangement.
Ten minutes were allowed Mr. Lip-
sky to answer his opponents. He
criticised the action of the New York
contingent especially. When the vote
was taken only six were recorded in
the negative.
