Mr. Mereminsky attacked Dr.
Zhitlovsky's endorsement of Rus-
sian colonization and said that "a
socialistic country, such as Russia
pretends to be, should not have de-
stroyed communistic colonies simp-
ly because they were built by Cha-
lutzim." The workers in Palestine,

1. Hamlin, national secretary of

that by the time the campaign is

last year's by 30 per cent.
S. Cingold reported $155,000

Gain 1n Membership.
A gain of 3,300 members since
the last convention was reported
by Secretary Segall. There are at
present 112 branches, 27 women's
clubs, 22 individual groups and
two youth clubs.
Among those who greeted the
convention were: Dr. Ilenryk
Shliosberg, Mrs. David Frischman,
Nathan Zvirin, who spoke for Hies;
and greetings from Jewish Na-
tional Fund, Ilasneh Insurance
Co., sponsored by the alliance, na-
tional, international and Palestine
Jewish movements.
The first of May was celebrated
on Tuesday, with addresses by Dr.
Zhillovsky and Doe Hoe, member
of the Palestine labor delegation.
Both spoke on the significance of
the international labor holiday.
Resolutions adopted by the con-
vention called for the continuation
of cultural work, the intensifica-
tion of activity for Ilasneh Insur-
ance Company, and the develop-
ment of women's branches, with
women as regular members and
policy holders.
Closer relations were voted to
be established with Poale Zion
and the wish of the convention
was for establishment of national
socialist groups everywhere. It
was decided also to assist Mrs.
Frischman in her work of publish-
ing her husband's writings.
Ii. Ehrenreich, one of the field
secretaries, reported on field work
and additional efforts are to be
made this year to enlarge the Ver-
band membership.
A proposal of Secretary Segall
to ask a government subsidy for

by Mr. Entin. The latter also
snake against amalgamation with
Umpartayishe schools on the
ground that the latter are partial.
There were 145 delegates rep-
resenting 90 cities throughout the
country and from Canada. A fea-
ture of the convention was the
large number of women delegates.
At the closing session on
Wednesday evening, the Verband
re-elected Meyer Brown president,
Louis Segall secretary, and Na-
than Zvirin vice-president. The
treasurer is to be elected by a
referendum vote of the entire
membership, Dr. A. Grossman and
R. Plottrott being the candidates.
A classing session decision called
for the holding of either of the
next two conventions in Palestine.
Israel Mereminsky spoke Wed-
nesday morning, attacking "reso-
lution Zionism" as opposed to "ac-
tive Zionism." The latter he natal
is that of the Palestine workers
who are building the land. His re-
marks were interpreted as an an-

faith. What I do wish to assert is
that he is an exponent of the dog-
matism about Jesus, and that the
orthodox Christian churches,
whose faith I profoundly respect.
are much more consistent and
logical than he. He tells us, subtly
appealing to our racial pride. that
Jesus was a Jew, why should not
we Jews 'recapture' Him and
make Him again our own? I say,
we do not wish to recapture Him,
for there is something in us which
means much more than race pride,
and that is loyalty to our concep-
tion of God.
Secondly, he tells us that
Christianity is superior to Juda-
ism in its 'discovery of love as the
true and only way of life.' I am
not aware that the New Testament
has improved on the command-
ment, 'Thou shalt love thy neigh-
bor an thyself; which is part of the

The Humor and Tragedy of Collecting Funds for
Palestine, as Related by the Volunteer

Workers.

The many interesting stories told by the volunteer workers for
the United Palestine Appeal mirror the sentiments for Palestine
Some of the stories are here retold because some of them reveal the
love for Zion, others show that ignorance still prevails not aunt
about Palestine, but about Jew ish things generally, and still other

Why
MURAD is Oval

A Ilaalassah worker tells about a little Christian girl, a neighbor of
hers, who apprusached her anal said:
"0, Mrs. X., I do so wish I could help you in your great work."
She proceeded to look over the prospects' cards and found there
the name of a man she knew. She a-had to be permitted to see that
man, and approached him for a contribution.
"You little shikse," he said to her. "What makes you solicit me
for my own cause?"

This man happened already to have paid his contribution, but out
of appreciation for the "mhikseY' enthusiasm contributed another sum.
Out of this sum, solicited by the non-Jewess, the Hadassah worker
expressed her belief, the branches of a Tree of Good Will will spread
from Palestine to the Diaspora.

Mr. A. K. Makes a suggestion:

Instead of publishing the names of those who here given

those who haven'. given. At least shame the slackers.

Dr. henry Shliosberg's address at the Sunday 1100O luncheon so
stirred the workers that one of them immediately doubled his pledge.
But Dr. Shliosberg almost caused some damage. Ile left such an
impression that if it hadn't been for his age and his silvery hair he
would have been the cause of a divorce for one of the workers.

Mr. Blumenthal took one of the workers to task for his small
checks. The latter promised a substantial bank-blank by the end of
the week. At the promised time the kibitzer brought a check for a
million dollars, written on "Hebrew National Bank" paper and signed
by Henry Ford.

"Oif • Ganef Brennt die Hittel," says a Jewish saw.
A number of people refused to give for Palestine because
the "commission." of the solicitors are too large. One man
refused • contribution because he "knew" that solicitors get
75 per cent of everything that is collected.
Which creates this question,
Is it because he is the proverbial "ganef" that his hat is in
flames?

One of the volunteer workers, a member of the fairest sea, ap-

Ohtslo's Novel.
"Shain fun Flamer.," by Olitzki.
is a novel in which the author por-
trays a Jewish city during the
Wor'al War. The plot centers
around the city while it is occu-
pied by a German army. Affairs
in the city have reached a chaotic
condition. Every one could see
the black wave in the vacant land.
The Jews in the city become in-
terested only in material things.
The rabbi, seeing that Judaism is
going astray makes one drastic
effort to save it from the flames.
But the foreign army continues to
cut the trees of the forest in the
dead eeld of winter with no sign
of conscience.
Another potent factor in this
novel is the beautiful devotion of
the women to the Jewish religion.
She gives few war brides and still
fewer war babies.
In conclusion, the war bride
vanishes into the flames of fire
which her sister had set to the
house in order to obliterate the sin
of Israel. The war baby is resume'
from the flames. The baby looks
on the flames anal smiles. The
ducks are floating on the lake as

peacefully as if nothing tragical
has ever happened in the world.
