U. S. STEAMER STRANDED Bound York Aground on Maio Island. ST. VINCENT, Cape Verde Islands, June 29 (#).—The American steamer West Hesseltine, bound for New York, is stranded on the north reef of Malo Island (in the Cape Verde group). She is resting easily and her tanks are holding.

Reports received here state that a recent supposedly unarmed protest parade through the streets of Can- ton in reality contained 2,000 fully armed soldiers with fixed bayonets. All streets approaching Shameen have been virtually deserted. Ob- servers at the conclusion detected a large movement of Chinese troops. Parade Called Off. A threatened parade on Saturday, when the bodies and bloody shirts of Chinese killed during the disturb- ances were to be carried, did not take place. Further reinforcements for Shameen arrived Saturday. Res- idents who have formed a volunteer corps worked all night putting up sandbag and other fortifications.. The concession is kept in darkness at night. Non-combatants of all nationalities have been advised to leave. Americans arriving from up coun- try report that everything is quiet and that notices have been posted in the railway stations asking the residents, soldlers and police to pro- tect foreigners. Only Chinese-owned steamers fly- ing the British flag have arrived in Canton, and it is expected that the European officers and engineers will strike on their return to Hongkong. ‘While everything remains quiet in Shameen, tension is extremely high.

Increase of the budget for Zionist activities in upbuilding the Jewish homeland in Palestine to more than twice its present size, or a total of $19,000,000 for the two years com- mencing October 1 next, was recom- mended to the Zionist Organization of America_at the Mayflower Hotel to- day by Emmanuel Neuman of New York, chairman of the budget com- mittee of the last wrold Zionist con- gress. Aside from this recommendation af- fecting the budget, other topics of importance bearing on the Palestin- fan project expected to come before the convention today were the pro- posed extension of “the Jewlsh Agency,” official Jewish body ad- visory to the British mandate officlals, and the question of Great Britain's policles in establishing the Jewish homeland under the League of Nations mandate. Delegates this morning were on a sightseeing tour, and were to convene at 1 o'clock for the first ses- ston of the day. The address vesterday by J. Joyce Broderick, counselor of the British embassy, in which he assured the Zionists of Great Britain's willing- ness to carry out the mandate and live up to all her pledges, and in which he referred frankly to some criticism of Great Britain’s policies was warmly welcomed by the delegates. There was even some intimation that the committee formulating resolutions on the question of Great Britain’s ad- ministration of the mandate might now be inclined to soften some of the criticism which it had been expected by some close observers to level at Great Britain. Many Grievances Aired. Among the criticisms which were said to have beén current in Zionist circles were that Great Britain had failed to turn over State lands to Jew- ish colonists, in spite of authority in the mandate; that it had failed so far to put in effect a nationality act, providing Palestinian citizenship to immigrated Jews, and that there had been delay in granting promised au- tonomy to Jewish communities. The question of extension Jewish Agency to Include ‘non- Zionists” was ~discussed by Morris Rothenberg of New York City. He championed the position taken by Chaim Weizmann, president of the World_Zionist organization, and by Louis Lipsky, chairman of the Zionist organization in America. expressed resterday that the opportunity to work in the Jewish Agency should be thrown open to all Jews. At present the mandate provides for the Jewish Agency being the Zionist organization. Mr. Rothenberg traced the history of the movement to include non-Zionists and pointed to the organization of the American _branch of the Jewish which is being established on of 50 per cent Zionists, and 50 per cent non-Zionists. Israel Goldberg was on the program to discuss the “Jewish National Home Under the Mandate.” All three of the questions before the convention this afternoon were ex pected to cause sharp discussion at the World Zionist Congress in Vienna in August. Zionist leaders through- out the world were said to be anx fously awaiting the action which the American convention will recommend to the World Congress, The Amer. jcan organization is the largest in the World Zionist Congress. Budget Fight Likely. The new budget program proposed by Mr. Neumann iIs expected to pre- cipitate a hot debate at the Vienna Congress, because vigorous opposition is anticipated from the left wing of the Zionist organization, who regard the proposed budget as favoring the middle class settlers in Palestine. They contend that the funds collected through the official agencles of the Zionist movement should be used to encourage colonization on a co-opera- tive or collective basis, while indu: trial and commercial developments should seek private capital as best | they can. The divisions of the revised budget, as _proposed by Mr. Neumann, are: Palestine Foundation Fund, for im- migration, colonization, schools, sani- tation, etc., $7,000,000; Jewish Na- tional Fund, for the purchase of addi- tional land, $2,000,000; {investment capital, to provide industrial, mort- gage and agrarlan credits and to in- crease the capital of existing Pales- tine banks, $5,000,000; the Rutenberg Electrical Concession, which s har- nessing the Jordan River to electrify Palestine, and which has already opened its first electric power plants in the country, $5,000,000 for special financing. “Approximately 75,000 new immi- grants can be permanently settled in Palestine during the next two years and the ground will be prepared for a great many more to follow, if this $19,000,000 is provided in full,” Mr. Neumann declared. Plans Bank Expansion. He nointed out that under the pro- vislons of the proposed revised budget the chief support of the Zionist move- ment would continue -to be the Pal- estine Foundation Fund, which in the four years of its existence has expended more than $8,000,000 for constructive enterprises in _develop- ing the Jewish homeland. His pro- posals also call for an expansion of the existing Zionist financial insti- tutions—the Jewish Colonial Trust, the Anglo-Palestine banks, the Gen- eral Mortgage Bank of Palestine and the Workmen's Bank, whose com- bined paid-up capital is about $3,500,- 000, although their authorized capital is several times that amount. The convention will hold its fourth session tonight and will close tomor- row night. Delegates were welcomed yesterday by Commissioner J. Frank- lin Bell, Rabbi J. T. Loeb and Rabbi Louis Schwefel of this city. Resolutions were passed commend- ing Dr. Chaim Weizmann, Sir Her- bert Samuel and Lord Herbert C.

Other speakers last night included Maurice Samuel and Schmarya Le- vin, and there was an informal re- ception at the hotel, at which en- tertainment was presented by David Vardl, Chavi Yoelit and Ernest Bloch. A wreath was laid on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington this morning by Rabbi Joseph Silver- man of New York City on behalf of the organization. All Must Support Plan. Co-operation of all Jews, whether Zionists or non-Zionists, in the up- building of Palestine as the Jewish homeland was urged by Louis Lipsky of New York, chairman, in his open- ing address yesterday. To this end, Mr. Lipsky said, the delegates should strongly support the proposal for extension of the Jewish Agency, provided by the Palestine mandate to co-operate in the Pales- tine movement, to include both Zion- ists and non-Zionists. The World Zionist Organization is now desig- nated as the agency and the question of changing the basis of its member- ship to include half Zionists and haif non-Zionists is to come up for final action at the Vienna World Zionist Congress in August. The chairman’s views on the ques- tion supported the position of Dr. Chaim Weizmann, president of the World Zionists, who sent a message to the convention urging extens of the agency and declaring Jews throughout the world were closely watching to see what action American Zionists would take on the question. ‘The convention heard a report from Col. Frederick H. Kisch of the Pales- tine Zionist Executive, showing t with the Jewish population in Pales- tine 110,000, already having doubled since the war, the migration of Jews there now has increased to more than 2,000 a month. Credit Great Need. Greater credit facilitles to relieve an acute land and housiiiz crisis re sulting from the rapid Jewish influx was declared by Col. Kisch to be one of the chief needs of Palestine, al- though the situation was being im proved, he said, by an increase in the number of more prosperous settlers. Although expressing gratificatian at the general progress achieved in Palestine in the past year, the annual report of the administrative commit tee of the organization regarded the “slow pace” of the British mandate authorities in certain administrative matters as having tended to “disturb | evelopment of normal condi- sages were read from a number of other Zionist leaders throughout th eworld, including Prof. Albert Ein. steln of Berlin and Philin Guedalla, president of the English Zionist Fed eration.

Shield Against Propaganda. B. C. Gruenberg, managing direc- tor for the American Assoclation for Medical Progress, New York City, as- serted that sclentific education by teaching persons to ask ‘“what are the facts” might be looked upon as defense against propaganda.

Numerous speakers today addressed the conference on “Lip Reading for Hard-of-Hearing Children.” Dr. John F. Barnhill of the Indiana University Medical School declared “the vast ma- jority of all deafness is wholly pre- ventable,” and urged greater care in prevention.
