KARLSBAD ZIONIST CONGRESS VOTES
CONFIDENCE IN ADMINISTRATION OF
WEIZMANN AND SOKOLOW BY 146.67
(Concluded from page 1.)
Declaration it is beaus° there is an
constant attempt to wreck our united
leadership. The Left and the Right
are fighting over the Kashruth ques-
tion, and clear issues are made un-
clear. The American Jews expected
that from this Congress a message
would go out that the Zionist Organi-
zation is ready to accept all Jews who
are ready to aid in the up-building of
Palestine. Such a course will strength-
en the Zionist authority; a contrary
course will discourage it. American
Zionists do not fear new elements.
Coalition governments are being
formed everywhere. If we find it is
impossible to cooperate with the men
we desire to join us, we will return
again to the Zionist party. The Amer-
icans, too, are anxious to see a World
Congress, but years are necessary for
its preparation. The extension of the
Agency means a gradual World Con-
gress."
Morris Meyer of - London spoke in
defense of the Admiii&ation, calling
upon the delegates to follow Weiz-
mann,whose achievements were super-
human."

The first indication of the clash was
given when Dr. Richard Lichtheim of
Berlin, himself a member of the Ex-
ecutive Committee, attacked the lead-
erahip of Dr. Weizmann and Nahum
Sokolow in a report he presented of
the Organization's activities.
Dr. Lichtheim many times departed
from his official report to launch forth
into criticism of his colleagues "for
the many things that were left un-
done." Leo Motzkin of Paris, one of
the vice-preaidents who was in the
chair, was forced to call him to order
several times.
The criticisms were not unexpected,
as Dr. Lichtheim, Dr. Sokoweitcheck
of Lithuana, and M. Ussishkin of Pal-
estine had warned in advance that
they would attack the present Admin-
istration.

' and my confidence in them. Elect the
systems and elect the people who will
execute that system. I will bow to
the decision of the Congress."
Mr. Sokolow's speech, which Dr.
Weizmann said he intended merely to
supplement, was also an answer to
Deputy Gruenbaum.
While the I'alestine situation was
, serious, Sokolow said, it was untrue
to state that the Zionist Executive hail
nothing but failures to report.
The charges that the Zionist lead-
ers had been humble in their stand
before the world was repudiated. "It
is untrue we have been too humble.
On the contrary, we have always
worthily defended Zionist rights, but
the relationship of the populations of
Palestine becomes a strong argument
against us,"
"We cannot argue that we derive
our strength from the 'Volksmasse'
because," he said, "the Je ws hitherto
had been disunited, a breach in the
„Jewish position which could only be
remedied by the creation of a Jewish
Agency, which should speak for all
factions.

this, telling me the Jews were divided
on this question, one rabbi favoring
it and another being against it," Mr.
Sokolow declared.
"I endorse Deputy Gruenbaum's
speech but cannot understand the tone
of tragedy that precedes it. We have
no intention to forget the democracy
of the movement.
"The Congress," he declared, "was
divided between Zionists and 'Veto
' Zionists,'" causing the first hearty
laugh at this Congress.
"I personally," he concluded, "stand
for strengthening the movement by
introducing the representatives of
other organizations who will work for
the cause. Who will dare oppose the
extention plan?" he concluded, chal-
lenging the Opposition Group.
Acknowledgment of the assistance
rendered by the Zionists of America
towards the development of Palestine
is contained in the message froM Sir
Herbert Samuel, British HighCom.
missioner for Palestine, who is rest-
ing in Italy.
"I send you my greetings and hest
wishes," Sir Herbert writes. "The
assistance rendered to the develop-
ment of Palestine during the year,
from America especially, but els,
from elsewhere, in no small degree
fostered the progress of the Jewish
National Home and of the country in
general. But it must be remembered
that continued effort is imperatively
needed. With faith in your purpose
and energy in its pursuit, and with
moderation and conciliation in your
methods, you may be sure that suc-
cess will attend you, Cu the lasting ad-
vantage of the Jewish people and all
sections of the inhabitants of Pales-
tine."
