The American Zionist movement
By DAVID SCHWARTZ

Nowadays we read stories
about Zion datelined from
Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
Perhaps on Rosh Hashana
one may properly look back
to the old years when the
big stories about Zion came
mostly fron Atlantic City,
where the Zionist conven-
tions were usually held.
I have been looking at
some of my notes of former
years. The conventions
usually took place at the
Breakers Hotel. I find in my
notes: "The breaking waves
dashed high when the Pil-
grim fathers arrived to
plant the New American
Commonwealth and this
convention animated by a'
similar aim of new nation-
hood is being held at the
Breakers."
But maybe as much of the

Zionist business was trans-
acted at Childs Restaurant
where the delegates went to
eat, and the boardwalk it-
self was an extended con-
vention hall.
At Childs, I first got
really close to Louis Lipsky.
He was Mr. Zionist. No man
so personified the American
Zionist movement as Lip-
sky. Like Saul, he was im-
pressive first of all for his
stature and perhaps this
gave him the confidence
which made his voice sound
like the shofar blast.
It is interesting that be-
fore coming to New York, he
was editor of a Jewish
weekly newspaper in Roch-
ester called The Shofar. In
New York, he tied up with
the American Hebrew
founded by a man named
Cowen, who was related to
the celebrated American
writer of western stories,
Bret Harte.
When the Zionist move-
ment began to take shape,
Lipsky became the editor of
The Young Maccabean,
which later matured into
The New Palestine.
Mit Lipsky was a man of
several interests. He was
very much interested in the
theater and was for a time
drama critic of a New York
daily. He earned his living
principally in the insurance
business.
Rabbi Stephen Wise was
a companion. figure of Lip-
sky', and one of the world's
most noted figures in the
Zionist movement. He was
the man of the Free Syn-
agogue, and spoke frankly .
of establishing free syn-
agogues all over the coun-
try.
He was a friendly man as
popular among non-Jews as
among Jews. "Wise likes to
do things for people," Lip-
sky once said to me.
Challenging the Lipsky
group, there was a group
headed by Abha Hillel Sil-
ver, Cleveland rabbi, who
also had the assets of ap-
pearance and great oratori-
cal ability.
Lipsky's eloquence was a
kind of non-eloquence. He
never told a humorous story
or indulged in a beautiful
figure of speech? Terseness
— conciseness — were his
qualities. Silver's eloquence
was of a different sort. It
had a poetic and musical
quality.
Silver in his boyhood on
New York's East Side had
organized the first juvenile
Zionist society. When at the
Educational Alliance, the
group attempted to produce
a Hebrew play, Dr. Fleisch-
man, the Jewish superin-
tendent, was horrified and
forbade it, but the club ob-
tained the intervention of
the Yiddish press and
Fleischman had to bow..
Louis D. Brandeis was an-
other of the giants. A giant
who didn't believe in giants.
He was to become noted for
his views of "the curse of
bigness." He thought big-
ness tended to inefficiency.
He tried to reduce every-
thing to essentials. He never
used a typewriter but wrote
his briefs and letters by
hand. In his Zionism he also
stressed basics. The Pales-
tine Economic Corporation
was his darling. He stressed
the economic note.
Robert Szold Was another
important figure and the
man probably closest to
Brandeis.
And of course there could

spacious areas of the prairie

I recall one time, Gordon
of the New York Times say-
ing there about some action
of the credentials commit-
tee, that if the Angel Ga-
briel knocked at the door, he
doubted he would pass the
credentials committee.

Gabriel would probably not
enter the press room at any
rate as he was a radio man,
since the Midrash says that
when Gabriel spoke, he
