I like to think of him as he

When I first met him he seem-

work of that movement that
Weizmann came to his true • sta-
ture. He grew with the move-
ment he headed with such maj-
esty, charm, and wit, and despite
the dark days of the end of his
At that 1913 Vienna Congress,
he was chairman of the Perma-
nenz Auschuss, and wielded my
cane (which he never returned)
as a symbol of his authority. I
sat in that committee and ob-
served him for days. His rulings
were a study of temperament.
He was impatient with equivo-
cations by delegates trained as
lawyers and Talmudists. But he
was meticulous and sharp in pro-
cedure. He was peevish and irri-
table, but always fair. He had a
penchant for Yiddish jests and
made generous contributions to
off-the-record .observations.
He was scheduled to address
the Congress on the Hebrew Uni-
versity. But the imperious Us-
sishkin took the ball from his
hands, announced the beginning,
of the fund, and Weizmann's re-
ferat became a matter of aca-
demic interest. He would stand
in the rear of the hall where the
caucuses were held, his eyes half
closed, listening, rarely speaking.
He was a shrewd debater, good
at repartee; but there was no
drive to him in Vienna. He seem-
ed to be listening and waiting.
The last scene I remember was
the appearance of a languid Dr.
Weizmann reporting the nomi-
nations.
I recall this figure of Weiz-
mann in his youth and compare
it with the pre-eminence he so
rightly achieved in the World
Zionist movement. The striking
contrast between the young Weiz-
mann and the Weizmann we all
remember is really a token of
the fabulous achievement of the
Zionist movement. For the Zion-
ist movement has been the most
vital, the most authentic, the
most dynamic expression of the
Jewish people ever since it was
flung abroad into the Diaspora.
And it was within the frame-
