NliW YORK—A recent report on wcalhcr conditions in the Russian Jewish Colonics sent by Dr. Joseph A. Roscn, head of the Agro-Joint, holds out the jirospcct of greatly improved crops for this year.
The report also describes the strong
hold which the iiew Hfe on the steppes
has on the crstwJiile "luftnienschen" who
are seeking ludejicndence behind the plow
. in the Ukraine aiid the Crimea.
Instancing the case of the Sholem Alei- cheiri Colony in the Kherson district. Dr. Rosen says that seven families out of fifty-five went back to the cities last .winter. , Of .these seven families, five have already returned to their farins. , ' From the entire Kherson district, where last year, crop conditions were un¬ satisfactory, two hundred fifty families returned to the cities last winter, out of a total of two thousand families settled there. Of the two. Iiundretl fifty there had returned before March of this year, one hundred fifty-four families.
It is a . common practice, says Dr Roscn, for some farmers to take their teams to the cities or mines, pr io work in factories during the winter months when there is nothing to do on the farms. In the Kherson district, last winter, mem¬ bers of ail additional one hundred fami¬ lies left for this purpose. All of them. Dr. Rosen stated, have returned for the spring ¦ plowing. "
Discussing the crop conditions in the colonies last year. Dr. Rdsen says in his report that the Crimean settlements en¬ joyed a very good harvest. The distress in the Krivoy-Rog district of the Ukraine was.relieved by the Joint, Distribiition Committee and other organizations, with the cooperation of the goveriimeut which granted food and seed loans among other ¦forms of assistatice..
The trend ot the Jews of Russia, to¬ ward the soil is shown in tUc fact that only ofte out of every ten families apply¬ ing at the Agro-Joint offices for an Oppor¬ tunity to take tip farming can have tiieir wishes granted, this notwithstanding the doubling of the farm-settlement project made possible by the contributions of : 000,000 by Julius Rosenwald, ;?1,OOO.OPO by Felix, M. Warburg, and $500,000 , by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and other con¬ tributions bringing .the total, iip to ^8,- 000,000, and the uhdectakiiig of the Rus¬ sian Government to matcli dollar for dol¬ lar all money raised in this country for that purpose.

Madrid Hails Jewish Boy of

MADRID—(J. T. AO—^Madrid bull¬ fighting; fans have a bcter opinion :of Yankee toreadors today. In their own words, Sydniey. Franklin, Brooklyn Jew¬ ish UmII fighter, is "que bombre!" ("what a man!"), an Associated .Press dispatch from Madrid states.
Franklin, on Thursday,'making his de-' but in a Madrid bull ring with Premier Primo de Rivera, his two daughters, jiiid other notables, looking on, dispatched two ferocious beasts in really skillful 'ni&nncr, although barely escaping, a dan¬ gerous goring at the horns of one brindle animal.
The fans, numbering 13,000 many, of wluiiir had come out of curiosity to see just what sort of a matador a **Yanqui" might make, gave Franklin an ovation after each bull. The Brooklyn man re¬ buffed their efforts to carry-him from liic ring when he .had killed his :second animal, with the plea he was tired and bruised and needed to restl
In the.course of the afternoon, Frank¬ lin was ou the ground three times, once with the first bea-st, a spotted black bull, and twice wilh the second onei The last time was ia very close call, the bull's lunging .hoi-ns^ catching in his sash and throwing him (ace down, on the sand. The cavortiiig brindle then dragged him a full thirty feet while the audience gasped and. groaned, Tlie general impression, was the bull bad his horn in Franklin's body and was .dragging him to his death, . Other cape men diverted the bull's attention, however, and the great animal shook his head from the sash and started toward them. Franklin arose, rubbed the dirt from his eyes and limped to wherb an assistant profTered a wet towel. He rinsed liis face and hands, and taking u() his sword again, resumed the com¬ bat, killing the bull in short order.
Franklin dedicated the first of his bulls to a group of American tourists, tlirowing his cloak to the box of his countrymen in accordance with the cus¬ tom of the arena. The second bull he dedicated to the Spanish nation by aaiut- ing the royal box, which was not occu¬ pied, before the fight.
He was much pleased with the recep¬ tion accorded him, and with the criticism of the experts, who said he displayed con¬ siderable skill in the. fine points of the S[>aiiish game.

ZURICH, SWITZERLAND— The
final ratification of the pact between the Zionists and non-Zionists, under the prin¬ cipal leadership of the American non-. Zionist group, for the creation of a joint Jewish Agency for Palestine, as provided in the Mandate of the League of Nations, the major point on the agenda of the lOtli Biennial Zionist Congress, will have an overwheUuing majority, among the '250 dclcgaics wbo arrived- here to attend the sessions. ' ^ ^
An early canvass of opinions among the <lclcgations of the various countries shows a general concurrence in the plan. No unity, however, exists l>etween the various |>arties concerning the other issues which .are to be determined upon by tlie Zionist legislative body. These issues, involve primarily the dctennina- tion of. the policy in regard to the He¬ brew educational system in Palestine, the fixing of the budget for the, Palestine work during the next two years, and the composition of the Executive Commitee which carries out the resolutions :of the Congress. Contrary to the situation, at previous Congresses, the present session finds the Center group in a greatly weak¬ ened [losilion, numerically.. The Labor¬ ites, holding 85 votes, .the Bizrachists, Orthodox Zionists, 4b votes, ^and the Zionist-Revisionists, togcthier with the Radical Zionists, extreme opt>ositioii groups, 30 votes, are pt-eparing for a strenuous political fight to gain conces¬ sions in favur of the policies they advo¬ cate.- ;". - - , ' ; " Various coiiihinations for the creation of I blocs on separate issues are- being negotiated between the various groups. The Labor delegates are riiakiiig a special attempt to- muster as. much political strength as possible, in view of tlie new sitiiation which is expected to arise in the Zionist movement follo.wiiig the consum¬ mation of the extended Jewish Agency, with the parlicIi>aiion: of the prpniiiioit group of American ndn-Zlonists. The Laborites fear the adoption of an anti- labor policy by that body.
The Mizrachists, the Orthodox Zion-, ists, are concentrating on the issue of the Palestine schools. T.heir organization has developed m Palestine a 'religious school system which is maintained by/the Zionist funds under direction of the Miz¬ rachi organization. They contend that these religious, schools are in danger of an attack by the secular Zionists, in Palestine, and therefore strive to seciire from the Congress a definite appropria¬ tion from Zionist funds for the autono¬ mous maintenance of these schools. . .The substitution' of the present' non- pertisan Executive Committee by a coali¬ tion executive comprising representa¬ tives of the General. Zionists, tbe Lkbor- ites and the Orthodox Zionists, ¦ is an¬ other question which occupies tlie party leaders as the Congress goes into ses¬ sion on Sunday, when the twenty-fifth anniversary of the death of Theodor HcrA, founder of the World Zionist Organization, occurs.
First Test of Strcn^h at Actions
Meeting: The firSt test of strength occurred at Friday's session of the Zionist General Council, .-which adjourned without reach¬ ing an agreement on the personnel of the praesidium and the chairmanship of the various committees,
. Disagreement oii the question of the Palestine budget, proposed by tlie Zionist Executive,.in the amount of £750,000 an¬ nually for the next two years, came to light at the sessions. M. Suprasky, a delegate from P'alestine,- criticized the £750,00(1 proposal, since one-third of that amount was earmarked for the payment of out.standiiig debts. He contended, that under this limitation all the Zionist Ex¬ ecutive will be able to do during the com¬ ing two years will be to maiiUain tbe existing Zionist colonies, without provi¬ sion for the establishment of new colo¬ nics and furtherance of new, immigration for the country. He demanded, in be¬ half Of the Palestine delegates, that the aniouiit of £70,000 be added to the budget. Harry packer, British barrister and member of the Jerusalem JJipnist Execu¬ tive, declined to enter into a discussion of the budget, except with the committee to,be appointed by the Congress for that puri>ose.
.\notlier meeting of the General Zion¬ ist Council will be held on Sunday. At this ineeting the 'question will also he decided as to whether or not the Zionist delegates to the extended Jewish Agency Council are to be bound by the decisions of the congress in the deliberations of the Council, that is, whether they are to vote as a bloc or individually,
Various proposals are being discussed concerning the creation of a new Execu-
,t. , [.)in: group urges a coalition be- ^ ecii iIn; Liborites and the General, i^ mhtf., without the participation of the i israelii. Another group of leaders de- sj.es ail afrrccnieiit between the various p rtics cm a minimum program, in wliich cf'ic tlic Laborites, the General Zionists aid llic Mizrachists may compose the 111-wgnvtrniiifr body. Kttblii ilerlin States Mizrachi l>osition
Rahlii Meyer Berlin, formerly of New. Vf>rk, inleriiatioiial head,of the Mibrachi Org ani;;;! (ion, in an interview with the ccrrosiKHKleiit of the Jewish Telegraphic A>?eiicy, oiillined the iiositton of his party. Kducatkiii. tJie budget for religious work aiid colonization .of Mizrachi settlers, as -i^cli as the composition of the new Ex- e-utiyc^ ;ire the three issues in which his piirty is interested. In the .matter of w'uciition, the Mizrafchi ¦ will continue ^to insist on lis airtnnomy in regard to the internul arraiigcnieiits of the religious schools. I;i this respect, lie stated, the Mizrachi is encountering great difficulties with tlic ,/Zionist Executive in Jerusa¬ lem, which is attempting to inject a politi¬ cal coloring into the school question^ .and even utilizes, the Palestine ' Government in the figjit ayainst the Mizrachi school System. ¦ ¦¦
Concerning the question of the budget, the Mizrachi will; It seems, be compelled to develop its own h\m\, the iferen Eretz Israel, since the Palestine Foundation Fund will find itself unable to entirely satisfy the budget for religious work and; the Mizrachi colonization budget.
ROgardiiig the composition of the new Executive, the Mizrachi.leader stated that he liii(I.s it unthinkable that religious Jewry, should remiain without influence. He believes that iio Zionist work can be fuccessful without the participation of all ¦parties. , , '

'" Lahor Demands Proportionate Representation'
ZURICH^Because of the demand of the Labor delegates to the ICth Biennial Zionist' Congress, whose 'sessions will (ipen here on Sunday, July 28, the Zion¬ ist General .Council adjounied today after it,failed to reach-an agreement pn the IJcrsorinel' of the praesidium for the pleh- session and the various committees ;ind sub-coinniittces which are to formu- ate the Zionist policy iu relation to its fccoristruction work in. Palestine during tlic next two years. '
The Laborites, who will control 85 btos in the general body coiisistirig of approximately 230 members, insisted that they be' given proportionate ryircsenta- fion on the praesidium and on the ten committees to be formed.
The delegation from the United States and Canada will be 42 strong. Archibald Freimaii, prominent iiicrchant and philan¬ thropist of Ottawa* Canada, is a probable candidate for the vice-presidency of the Congress. The center group, moderate i^ionisls, commonly referred to as Gen¬ eral Zionists, will he greatly weakened due to the Increased numbers of the ex¬ treme radical und conservative groups. The Mizrachi,, religious Zionists, will have a represciitalioii of 45, while the Kadical Zionists and Zionists-Revision¬ ists will number about 30. The Congress Court, iKissiiig.on the protests against [lie re.'sult of the elections in various countries, has adjusted nmny of the grievances in European countries but has :is yet been unable to adjust .the diffi¬ culties in, connection with the election of /Cionist delegates iu the United States, Palestine, Poland and Austria. ¦
Dr. Ghaim Weizmann, President of the World Zionist Orgaiiizalion, arrived here today, as did a l^rge number of delegates and guests from Palestine: The dele¬ gates and guests traveled ou a specially chartered steamer which landed them at Trieste. The arrival of many delegates from Poland was delayed because of passport difliculties which seemed to have arisen.
NEVV YORK-^An appeal' to Ameri¬ can Jews to extend further support to the inunigraiit welfare, work in the United States and abroad was issued by Abra- hiim Herman, president o£ the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid Society, in a, statement announcing the agree¬ ment for.three years signed by represent¬ atives of. the Hias, lea and Emigdirekt.. "Ail who are conversant lyith the •¦itory of Jewish migration in the years, following the war and the effect upon it by the restriction of immigration into the United States, cannot place too high an estimate utwii the work which has been done on heliaH of Jewish migrants everywhere by the combined efforts of the three greatest jewisli immigrant aid organizations with which a large number of local bodies arc affiliated. Not only has duplication of activities been avoided but the fusion has also made it possible for the,/work to be carried on on a much larger scale, reaching every one of the Iiew immigration countries. As a result, the foundatioii for constructive develop-^ ment of new Jewish centers in,Central and.South American Republics has been laid and contacts have been established with Australia, South Africa and other countries in which possibilities for iarge Jewish immigration exist. The deci¬ sion of'the conference in Paris to ex¬ tend the agreement between the three organizations for another three years is the best evidence of the harmonious co¬ operation, existing between them and which naturally reacts most favorably upon . the lot of .the unhappy Jewish wanderers," Mr, Herman said.
"The ratlficiation of the decision of the Paris conference,": he stated, "is de¬ pendent Upon the support which Ameri¬ can Jewry will give to Hias. Hias has no reserve funds- a;nd under the most favorable circumstances It is living, as the sayhig goes, 'from hand to mouth.' With isuch limited means, it is very diffi¬ cult indeed to develop^ a proper prq- graiii of .activities for three years and to commit itself to. the obligations of the liext three years.
' "Not only does not Hias possess at present the funds tliat will be necessary ill the very near fiilurc, but it is already facing now a deficit which thi*eatens to increase as the montliS; gO by. The con¬ dition of the Jewish wa:ndercrs is more desperate than, heretofore. While the mimber of Jewish immigrants who can come to this country is limited, the num¬ ber of those who must leave tlieir native countries is very large. The beneficent activities of the IJias combination cannot be over-estimated. In order that the work may be continued and be extended, it is absolutely urgent that American Jews who have at all times been ready.to aid the saving oi their brethren shall immediately respond by generous contri¬ butions." ,''.'''
