THE JEWISH CHRONICLE
LABOR DELEGATES INDORSE
ZIONISM.
. PREPARATIONS BEING • MADE
FOR JEWISH CONGRESS.
The conference of the American
Alliance for Labor and Democracy,
held at Minneapolis last week, unani-
mously passed the following resolu-
tion: •
"The American Alliance for Labor
and Democracy expresses its unquali-
fied anproval of the avowal by Presi-
dent Wilson that one of the motives
for America's entrance into the war
is to secure for the small nationalities
the right to live their own lives on
their own soil and to develop their
own culture under free, national au-
spices.
"Inasmuch as among all these small
nationalities, the Jews alone have no
homeland of their own, we urge up-
on the president and the international
congress which will negotiate terms
of peace, the legitimate claims of the
Jewish people for the re-establish-
ment of a national homeland in Pal-
eFtine on a basis of self-government."
This action is in keeping with that
of the British labor party which
passed a similar resolution at its con-
vention in London several weeks ago.
Colonel Harry Cutler of Provi-
dence, R. I., chairman of the adminis-
trative committee for an American
Jewish Congress, came to New York
on Friday and conferred for several
hours with the executive secretary, B.
G. Richards, and other members of
the organization, in regard to the ar-
rangements which are being made for
the convening - of the Congress in
Washington, D. C., on November 19.
Col. Cutler informed representa-
tives of the Jewish press that he re-
cently visited Washington in connec-
tion with the Congress preparations
and that while there, he held an im-
portant conference with Judge Julian
W. Mack, Louis K Kirstein and Ju-
lius I, Peyser, and that they consid-
ered various matters pertaining to the
arrangements. He stated that he ex-
pected to be in Washington again
shortly in reference to these matters.
He announced further that the reports
of the commissions on the condition
of the Jews in the different countries
for the purposes of the Congress were
being prepared without delay and that
several of the more important reports
would be ready to be passed upon at
an early meeting of the administrative
committee.
A meeting of the administrative
committee will be held in about ten
days or two weeks and by that time
further announcements will be made
in regard to the preparations both in
Washington and the New York of-
fices, which are now devoting a great
deal of work to the preparation of
reports.
