Editor's Note: The 46th annual convention of the Zionist Org aniza-
tion of America is scheduled to meet in Columbus, 0., f roin
Sept. 11-13, following close after the arjournment of the
American Jewish Conference. In the following article , Dr.
Israel Goldstein, one of the outstanding figures in Arne rican
Jewish life, sets forth the difficult but "challenging part"
which the Zionist convention will have to play in dev
"a program of unprecedented magnitude for the tasks of
gration, immigration and resettlement". In the opinion o t' emi-
the
author, the 46th annual convention of the Zionist Orga niza-
ion of America can become an historic gathering if it will
"clearly emphasize, expound, and amplify the thesis tha t in
the international design for living, a Jewish Palestine i s au
indispensable element, for the sake of civilization as we II as
for the sake of the Jewish people."
