Mizrachi Convention Closes in Cleveland
CLEVELAND (J. T. A.)-The
Eleventh Annual Convention of the
Mizrachi Zionist movement closed
here with the re-election of Rabbi
Meir Berlin as president of the or-ganization..
A new feature in the Mizrachi or-ganization
was the election of Rabbi
B. L. Levinthal, well-known Talmudic
authority of Philadelphia, as vice-president,
a new office created by the
convention. Mr. Abraham Kahn, of
New York, was elected treasurer and
Rabbi Morris Magnes, secretary. An
actions committee of fifty-one mem-bers
was elected. The executive con-sists,
besides the above mentioned of-ficers
of Rabbi Teitelbaum, Dr. J.
Bluestone, B. Schnur, Rabbi A. Ensel-bath,
Samuel Wilner, A. Stradriski and
H. Karp.
A number of important resolu-tions
were adopted by the convention,
one of them dealing with the recently
opened Hebrew University in Jerusa-lem.
A storm was caused at the con-vention
by revelations made by Rabbi
Natalevitch of Harrisburg, Pennsyl-vania,
who recently arrived from
Lithuania. Rabbi Natalevitch made
the charge that the Palestine offices
of the Zionist Organization function-ing
in various towns in Europe dis-criminate
against orthodox immi-grants
and do not give visas to
J. D. C. FORWARDS FLOUR SUP-PLY
TO STARVING JEWISH
COLONISTS OF UKRAINIA
MOSCOW (J. T. A.)-Two thou-sand
five hundred puds (approx. - 88,-
000 pounds) of flour have been for-warded
by the Moscow office of the
Joint Distribution Committee to the
Jewish colonists in the Ukraine and
Crimea to relieve the condition of
starvation which has set in among the
Jewish colonists as a result of the
prolonged drought which has prevailed
in the southern part of Russia.
Last week the drought was broken
by heavy rains which have brought
promise of abundant crops for this
season. At the present time, how-ever,
the settlers are suffering consid-erably.
A large number of the new
Jewish settlers in the Crimea and in
Ukrainia are completely lacking food
supplies and until the new crop ar-rives
they will need assistance in order
to get along.
1389 EMIGRANTS AT HARBIN
AWAITING VISAS
HARBIN, CHINA (J. T. A.)-Of
the total of 1,389 emigrants from
Eastern Europe, who are stranded
here, 448, among them a large num-ber
of Jews, have applied for visas to
go to the United States. The re-mainder
are bound for other coun-tries.
The emigrants are impatiently
awaiting the opening of the new quota
for America on July 1, many of them
having visas from last year.
The Immigration Bureau of Har-bin
has forwarded a full report of the
condition of the emigrants to the
American Consul here.
chaluzim who belong to the Mizrachi
organization.
A resolution urging fundamental
changes in the entire system of emi-gration
to Palestine was adopted by
the convention. The resolution also
demands that those Zionist officials
who are guilty of discrimination
should be removed.
Another heated discussion took
place at the convention on account of
a resolution presented by Rabbi Ep-stein,
of Cleveland, on behalf of the
committee on Palestine. He demanded
that the Mizrachi delegates to the
Zionist Congress to be held in Vienna
in August should be authorized to de-clare,
on behalf of the Mizrachi organ-ization
that this organization will
separate from the Zionist Organiza-tion
if the Zionist Executive will not
take strong measures to enforce a
resolution adopted twice before by
Zionist Congresses, that settlements
and institutions in Palestine, which
do not comply with the Jewish re-ligious
observances should not receive
any support from the general Zionist
funds and, particularly, of the Keren
Hayesod.
The convention voted against the
latter part of the resolution which
read in the nature of an ultimatum
but accepted the first part which ex-presses
protest against the Zionist Ex-ecutive
for its failure to realize the
resolutions of the Congresses.
FRIENDLY ATTITUDE OF ARABS
TO BARON ROTHSCHILD
SURPRISE
JERUSALEM (J. T. A.)-In view
of the attempts made recently to
arouse the Arabs against the Jews,
especially at the time of Lord Bal-four's
visit to Palestine, the friendly -
attitude of the Arabs to Baron Roth-schild,
who is now in Palestine, is
calling for particular attention.
The Arab nationalistic press which
usually displays strongly animosity to
the Jews publishes articles warmly
welcoming the Baron, "El Kaber," of
the largest and most influential Arab
paper has even devoted a special edi-tion
under the head of "Rothschild
Number," featuring a number of
stories about the Baron and his great
services to the Palestine population.
The Baron and Baroness will visit
Jaffa, where a special reception by the .
pupils of the Hebrew gymnasium will -
be tendered the guests.
