CITIZENS COMMITTEE FORMED IN NEW YORK TO RESTORE PEACE IN THE ZIONIST RANKS
While Work For "Peace and Reconstruction" Is Under Way, Charges Against Administration Arc Renewed—Election Instructions Are Now Point ofl Dispute—E?ftra- ordinary Preparations For Zionist Con¬ vention Are Being Made
J^EW,Y0RK;—A move to, restore peace within thc rfinks of, American -Zionists is tinder way with the forma¬ tion of a Committee on Peace and Re¬ construction, which aims to bring about a reconciliation between the leaders of . the ; Zionist opposition and the,, Zionist administration, so as, to avoid a tumul-, tuous convention and possible rupture in the movement.
While no official information was available, the Jewish Daily Bulletin learns, that the committee, Which is head¬ ed by Dr. Louis I. Harris, Commission¬ er of Health of the cit^ of New York, Prof.,'Mordecai' M. Kaplan, ;Israel. Miitz, Emahucl Neumann, and 'others, is at work, Negotiations for an amicable so¬ lution of, the iproblem of, introducing new forms into the administration of the Zionist Organization of America are said to be in progress both_ with the adminis¬ tration and opposition" leaders! A state¬ ment on the part ,of the Comrtiittec and its suggestion for a solution , will be forthcoming, in a few days,: it was : learned.
Both parties involved in the controver¬ sy claim that victory will be theirs if tlic ¦question is brought to'a vote at ttie Pitts- burgli convention. Early returns ort the - election of delegates' to the convention:, indicate that at least two-thirds , of the men delegates and a considerable num¬ ber of the Hadassah delegates would support the, present administration. The . opposition leaders are-confideiit that they would enlist the sympathy of'at least ohe- . third of the'men delegates and are con¬ vinced that the overwhelming vote of ihe Hadassah .delegates would also be in their favor, .these estimates, 5t; was declared by neutral observers, cannot be consid¬ ered absplutc as the total number of ^dele¬ gates who will be entitled to vote at the Zionist conventioii is still to be deter¬ mined, in view of recent, rulings made by: the Administrative .Committee.' . ,\ , While these peace negotiations are un¬ der way, ia n^w charge against the Zion-. ist. aidministration was made by Johan Smertenko of the Committee for 2,0.A. Reorganisation, opposition , spokesman and formerly active in the ,.New York League of Zibnist Revisionists. Mr. Smertenko in a statement issued on be¬ half of the Reorganization. Committee charged the Zionist administration with an attempt tp '^pack" the forthcoming convention jn Pittsburgh. As evidence of this attempt, Mr. Smertenko quoted a telegram sent out on May 31. over the signature of Louis Lipsky to Zibnjst dis¬ tricts reading as: follows.:
"Records district meihbership now be¬ ing printe<l for convention report, Please. forward all membership dues immediate¬ ly. Also'lists including rthose members who enrolled hut not' paid their dues. We. will ,crcdit your district and charge your account with enrolled but unpaid members. Urge you increase mcinber¬ ship.", '
.in his statement, Mr. Smertenko de- jclared, "The, Conimittee interprets this proposal expressed in the Words, 'We will credit your district arid charge your account with enrolled but unpaid mem¬ ber^' as nothing biit an attempt to pad ; the.membership roll in order to increase the number of .delegates at the Conven¬ tion. This is beipg done so that the Ad¬ ministration niay have enough vqtes to carry but its effprts to disfranchise the T01 Hadassah de egates. . /"
"Tbe formal restrictions for the elec¬ tions of delegates to the Zionist Conven¬ tion called for the election of all dele¬ gates 'during the week beginning May 27th.' The advertised instructions-show that the elections .were to end Sunday* June iJrd., The telegram was clearly in¬ tended to influence the elections. ¦ , "The districts of the Z. O. A. are not legal entities; they, have no' assets; and the members q^nnot be held liable for their dues, etc. The regular published annual reports of previous years carry no.charge accounts for membership. The statistics actually sumrnarize the previ-: , ously enrolled biit unrenewed member- ,ship. Thus the report for 1927, page 13, states .that the figure of 28,8<J2 members then on the records 'does not include 10,020 members who paid in 1026 but , have not as yet renewed their member¬ ship at May Blst, and nowhere in the report is unpaid membership listed as an asset or account receivable, nor is (here any chqrge account for such unpaid Oiembership," he stated. : Wiien the Jewish Daily BuUetin sub mitted the statement for reply, the Zion ist Organ.!zation of America declined to make any statement other than to make public a copy of a ¦ foj-m. letter to'all Zionist Districts throughout the country,
as the. telegram was sent to all Zionist Districts I throughout the country.
The form letter, dated June H, three days after the' telegram, made cl'ear that only such members as,have actually paid their dues arc entitled to participate in the elections and that the number' of delegates to be elected can be deter¬ mined only on thc basis of tlie number of paid members. Thc letter, signed by Louis Lipsky and addressed to all chair¬ men- and secretaries of Zionist districts after quoting the telegram as reproduced above, declared:
"It is essential that we-have the rec¬ ords complete for the report.to thc Con¬ vention., Therefore, we, lirgc the Dis¬ tricts lb take immediate steps to' comply with the. requcit! contained in the above telegram. .
, "It must be definitely understood that, when electing delegates tb thc Convention duly tltose/meirthcfs tufio hiwe actually /laid Iketr dues 7o Ihc District or fo the miional office for Ihc year 1!>28 arccft- (/ihie to vote, and the immber of delegates to be elected must be based on the num¬ ber of l>aid mcvibers. The unpaid niem¬ bers, whose names we have asked you to forward to the national office cannot be included in the total for the election of delegates. - .,';.,¦
"In order that your delegates, liiay be seated at the, Convention, it is essential that every District comply strictly with, the above rules."
Israel Maltin, auditor of the Zionist Organization of Anierica, ii'i commenting on,the figures given by Mr. Smertenko, declared: "The statement X\\.^t the Zion¬ ist'Districts carry no charge account is "untrue. The Zionist Organization owes at, all tiriies, to every, district, the two dollars refundable to the district, oil ev¬ ery regular member and the fi.ve dollars due the, district on account; of every sustaining member. At certain times of the year the Zionist Organization owes, the districts as. much as :$10,000. Last year, at the closing.of the .books, the. Zionist" Organization owed to the dis¬ tricts, §5,734.,, In 102«, at the end df the, fiscal ¦ year, .the Zionist Organization owed to the districts 53,3u0'.87. ¦ To date, June Sth, the Zionist Organization holds in reserve for thei districts approximately lii.OOO due tp, them'on account of 'mem-^ bershi p. refunds!"

The Commission, which will consider reports df many experts including sonie of the United States Government de¬ partments, has no olTicial Status insofar as the British.Government is concerned. The xvprk of the Commission, however, has . been carried out, .with the closest co-operation of the. Palestine Colonial Office.

¦European Zionists and thc Jewish.pub¬ lic generally are following with great ¦: interest the proceedings of this.'confer-; encc, which marks the first time that outstanding Jewish leatlers of both hem¬ ispheres bave met to further the cause of the upbuilding of, Palestine.
Zionist leaders recalled today the hnm- ble origins of -thq Zionist movement. thirty years ago, under the leadership of Dr; Theodor Hcrl, when the outstanding Jewish-philanthrppists of that day, Baron Maurice de Hirsch and Baron Edmond de Rothschild, ridiculed the" idea. The conference of the American and Euro¬ pean leaders. at Melchet is viewed .as-.a great event In tbo history of the Jewish efforts to reclaim Palestine and as the. beginning of making the Palestine prob-, 1cm one of all Jewry instead of being confined to the members of the Zionist organizations.: ',
