Y JEWS PLAN FIGHT ONBRITISH POLICY Lipsky Resigns Presidency as Zionists Gather in Cleveland. By the Associated Press. CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 28.—The resignation of Louis Lipsky, president of the Zionist Organization of America for the last nine years, as a paid officer was announced today as Zionists pre- pared for the formal opening of their thirty-third annual convention here to- morrow. Lipsky, however, will continue with the organization as a volunteer worker and will maintain his activity in the movement he has supported for more than 30 years. Convention legders plan to rally Jewish sentiment over the world against the policy the British are following in Palestine to suppress Moslem-dewlsh] conflicts. ‘The Zionists charge that the British violated its Palestine mandate in sus- pending Jewish immigration into that | country and in taking similar steps| held contrary to the Balfour declara- tion of 1917. The declaration pledged the British to facilitate establishment of the Jewish national home, but since the alleged violation this has been greatly hampered, according to the Zionist leaders. A number of Zionist leaders tonight expressed indignation over the state- ment issued in New York by Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, in which he charac- terized the organization as ‘“morally and politically bankrupt” and “pitiably devoid of power.” Lipsky, Rabbi James G. Heller, presi- dent of the national executive commit- tee, and several members of the execu- tive committee criticized Rabbi Wise for issuing his statement through the press, rather than at the convention. “Answers Through Press.” “As usual, Dr. Wise feplies, mnot through the recognized channel of | Zionist opinion, but through the press, Rabbi Heller said. “At such a time as this such action is treason to the Zion- ist movement. Zionist unity is more important than any individual. “But Zionism in America is strong- er than any individual, and will go on even without Dr. Wise. The statement I have read abounds in exaggeration: and misstatements. It seems to me a complete misconception of the needs and conditions of the movement. Re- | gretfully we shall part company with | one who has always been a loyal and | impassioned Zionist, but who seems incapable of orderly and disciplined ac- | tion,” Rabbi Heller said. The convention is expected to vote on the question of calling an extraordi- | nary world Zionist congress. Seek Unity.

Co-operatidn of the two factions was sought by Lipsky in his recent invita- tion to Brandeis asking that he join the leaders in a coalition.

The reply, according to dele- gates supporting Lipsky, is considered 2n ultimatum, Although many Zion- ists desire his leadership, they also want retention of some of the present workers. Sceking support of all other forces of American Jewry, the Zionists have invited representatives of other Jewish organizations to attend the convention | sa that decisions would be more nearly a demonstration of Jewish unity to- ward the Palestine question. Approximately 500 leading Zionists from all sections of the United States were attending. WISE RAPS ZIO! TS.

In the things that most matter, morally and poliuically, it is bankrupt.” Referring to a statement in which Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Bran- deis and United States Circuit Judge J. W. Mack, who were the leaders of the Zionist movement prior to 1921, outlined the conditions under which they again would assume leadership if chosen, Dr. Wise said: “There is no choice of ways. The Zionist organization may, for a time, continue feebly and impotently to exist. It will do no more, for a long time it has done no more.” “It comes with ill grace,” he con- tinued, “for the present regime to com- plain of the undemocratic character of the Brandeis-Mack proposals, viewing its own long-time scorn of the substance of the democratic ideal in the conduct of American Zionist affairs. A petty and punitive oligarchy has been in con- trol of those afiairs. It has abdicated freedom of judgment abroad—that is, in relation to London, while it has exer- cised every terrorism of penalty and proscription against independence of Jjudgment at home, on the part of the most loyal of Zionist followers. Zionists, Not Free. “The charge of undemocratic method is often urged against the necessarily stern procedure of receivers in bank- ruptcy, granted that the b-nkrupwfr under ' discussion is primarily moral. Let no one be deceived. American Zionists are no longer free to choose under which banner they are to go on. “The sole question is whether Amer- ican Zionists are sufficiently concerned about serving and, indeed, saving the movement as far as American Jew: is involved. If they are so concerned, they will call to the leadership the only group of men now prepared to under- take and indeed, to execute task of extraordinary difficulty and almost in- supportable burdensomeness.” Motor_vehicles now are being made in 270 factories in 16 countries. 3020 Dent Place N.W.
