the Jewish Agency. At this con-
' ference, Justice Brandeis ex-
pressed his sustained faith in the
ability of the Jewish people to
overcome all obstacles in the path
to their goal, and urged that the
American community help to pro-
vide the financial means. The
conference, which was presided
over by Felix NI. Warburg, heard
reports on Palestine resources
from engineers, from persons who
had had experience in initiating
various enteprises there, and from
the chairman of the Palestine Eco- 1
nomic Corporation, and adopted a
resolution affirming its belief in in-'
vestment possibilities in Palestine,'
favoring the organization of an
"American business corporation
with a vievi, to furthering the eco-
nomic development of Palestine."
and providing for the appointment
of a committee to consider the
most effective action required and
report back to the conference.
Brandeis' Return to Zionism.
Justice Brandeis' participation,
in this conference and his ex-1
pression of willingness to advise
the laders of the Jewish Agency.,
encouraged a group of members of
the Zionist Organization of Amer.'
ica to suggest that an effort be
made to secure a resumption by !
Justice Brandeis and those Zionists
who held his views, of their active
co-operation with the organiza-
tion, which they had suspended in
1921, when their program for Pal-1
estine work was rejected by the'
convention of the organization. Al
committee was appointed to nego-1
tiate with Judge Brandeis and his
followers and, after conference. a1
memorandum of the conditions
upon which this group would agree
to resume their co-operation was ■
published over the signatures of
Judges Brandeis and Julian W.1
Mack, Robert Szold and Jacob De
Haas. At the subsequent conven-
tion of the Zionist Organization of
America, held in Cleveland in July.
1930, these terms were somewhat
modified by mutual agreement.

With the passing of another milestone in the prog-
ress of time it seems fitting that we pause for a mo-
ment's reflection and an exchange of felicitations.

Accepting the spirit of this occasion, we should like
to go a step further than merely wishing you a happy
New Year.

Happiness is, to a large extent, contingent upon
good health and prosperity, and it is our sincere hope,
therefore, that the New Year will hold for you and
yours a bountiful share of all that makes for complete
physical, spiritual and mental well-being.
