PROTEST ON ANTI-SEMITISM
BY JEWISH WOMEN'S LEAGUE

GENEVA.—(.1. T. A.)—A pe-
titio n urgi ng the World Peace Con-

gress which was in session in War-
saw at the beginning of July, "to
protest against the propagation of
anti-Semitism" in European coun-
tries, was submitted to the gen-
eral secretary of the International
Pence Bureau here.
The move was made by the Jew-
ish Women's League, the body
which was largely responsible for
the adoption by the World Peace
Congress at its twenty-sixth an-
nual session held in 1926 in Ge-
neva, of a resolution condemning
the anti-Semitic movement and
particularly the anti-Semitic out-
breaks and practices in the Euro-
pean universities and colleges.
The Women's League urged the
World Peace Congress not only to
reaffirm the resolution adopted in
1926, but also to elect a commit.
tee of 10 leading European per-
sonages who are active in the in-
ternational peace movement to
formulate a program of combat-
ing anti-Semitism in behalf of the
peace movement. The Women's
League pointed out in its memor-
andum that since 1926 many anti-
Semitic outbreaks occurred in
various countries, particularly in
Rumania.
The general secretary of the In-
ternational Peace Bureau in-
formed the Women's League that
the committee on current ques-
tions of the World Peace Congress
will give its consideration to the

BERLIN.—That a majority of
the members of the General Coun-
cil of the World Zionist Organiza-
tion will support the recommen-
dations of the Jewish Agency
Commission, which are the chief
subjects for discussions at the ses-
sions here this week, became-
on Wednesday. The de-
cikon is said to register a major-
ity Zionist opinion in favor of the
Jewish Agency report.

BERLIN.—(J. T. A.)—Inti-
mating that he will withdraw from
the presidency of the World Zion-
ist Organization in case the Gen-
eral Council, now considering the
recommendations of the Jewish
Agency Commission, rejects its re-
port, Dr. Chaim Weizmann threw
the weight of his personal record
in the Zionist movement into the
discussion which may decide the
fate of the Jewish Agency, the me-
dium for cu-operation between
Zionists and non-Zionists in the
upbuilding of Palestine.
Following the two days' discus-
sion on the proposal of the Zion-
ist Executive to accept the report
of the Jewish Agency Commis-
sion, with a suggestion that some
of its recommendations be amend-
ed, Dr. Weizmann took the floor
late Sunday evening and in grave,
solemn words urged the leaders of
I the various Zionist factions in Pal-
estine and in Europe "not to de-
stroy the cause."
Seek Large Majority.
The proposal of the Zionist
Executive to sustain the Jewish
Agency Commission's report, has
the support of the representatives
of the American, German and
some of the Polish Zionists. With
an apparently small majority for
the report, the adherents of the
Weizmann agency policy pressed
hard for securing a large majority
when the vote is taken, it being
repeatedly stated that the Zionist
Executive "stands or falls with
the Jewish Agency policy."
Dr. Weizmann',i plea bore the
character of a heart-to-heart talk
with the leaders of the Zionist
groups. "For years the charge of
treason was brought against me.
It was asserted that I surrendered
the ideals of the Zionist movement
to the non-Zionists. Now, after
five years of difficult work to carry
out the policy of extending the
Jewish Agency, I advise you to do
as I do," he exclaimed.
A Dramatic Discussion.
Turning to the representatives
of the Labor group, who are the
most bitter opponents of the Jew-
ish Agency recommendations, Dr.
Weizmann exclaimed "I have en-

The Story of the Case.
Oscar Slater's conviction for
the murder of Marion Gilchrist on
Dec. 21, 1908, has been compared
to the Sacco-Vanzetti case in Mas-
sachusetts.
Marion Gilchrist was a woman
of 83 years, living alone in an
apartment in Glasgow. She had •
property and Was in the habit of
acquiring Jewels, of which she had
with her an accumulation worth
about $15,000. Her apartment
had an entrance directly on the
street and communicating with no
other apartment in the dwelling

outer door had one lock; the inner
