A Fixed Basis for the Upbuild¬ ing Work Must Be Found, v Declares I, D. Morrison
THE OUTLOOK FOR THE FUTURE IS VERY BRIGHT
ZVlUCH.—'.'l'or the lirst time in two tliotisand years, the largest numlicr of leading Jews liaVc iinite<l in the wqrk for Palestine," declared Dr. Chaim Weiz- vnaiiu in an hitcrview with the corre¬ spondent of the Jcwisli Telegraphic Agency immediatciy on the concUision of the Jewish Agency Session. "This is a groat day. ; The event has not only an economic, importance, bnt also a moral iniportance.,
"Until liow we were a relatively .small force," J>r. Weizmann continued. "Now we have allies, and I hope that soon there won't be a division between Zi- onist.s an<l noil-Zionists. We know and understand.each other. A real sympathy exists between both groups, and this iu¬ .the best guarantee for success.:    .
"I will inform the British government of the re.stilt.of this session .and convince her. that the "Jews arc ready to fulfiil their duty with fnll force and .we expect the Mandatory, Power to carry out the Mandate in.spii-it and letter.    .   .
"What We shall create as a work of peace will be bar in ful to nobody and an honor to Jewry and contribution to the culture of. iilankind," Dr. Weizmann de¬ clared.-
Felix .Af. Warburg said: "Wc do not wish to introduce new lines of procedure. .,We wish to learn as.much as pQssible from our masters andgainmdre friends for this cause. I particularly desire not to.permit a wrong impression to go about. We wish no infringement upon . the rights, of the other part, of the popular tion of Palestine. They will only benefit by pur work as in the past. Every.inch of soil we acquired or will acquire will also adi-fince the interests of ou|" neigh¬ bors, and it should be like that. If Pales-. .tine was made safe against malaria it . benefits the Jews and non-Jews alike.
"Wc look iforward with pleasure to working with pur new colleagues, and I hope that later somebbdy will fill my position, whicli was undeservedly given : me. We shaU follow the principle, as in the United States, that nobody occupies a position of leadership in a movement without training' a successor. Jhi-s should be easy in my case,"' he said.
Replying to a, question, Mr. Wai'burg stated that the Joint pistributiou Com^ , mittee will continue its work in all other countries as heretofore.,
"Thqre were two streams in the Jew¬ ish world, one desperately attempting to niaintatn Jewish life in the Goluth, the other engaged in the recreation and the establishment of a fixed center,'' Louis Lipsky said, summing up the result of the Agency meeting. "Tlie first streaiii possessed calmness, patience and deliber¬ ation; the .second was adventurous and reckless, bearing the signs, of disorder preceding creation. At the first Agency Council meeting both streams attempted to merge. The colors are still distinct, the several temperaments discernible, but both are convinced that in order to es¬ tablish the. center, the complementary ef¬ fects of. both are needed. Undoubtedly the colors will cveutUaUy fuse and ulti¬ mately a common ideal ahd a united purpose will emerge.
"A great deal of credit is due to thf! , patience and forbearance of the non- Zionist.s, who contributed greatly to this fusion," Mr. Lipsky declared. . . "The consummation of'-the enlarged Jewish Agency palls for congratulation to Palestine, to Jewry as a whole and particularly to these indefatigable states- tiien, Dr. Chaim Weizmann and Loui-i Marshall.
"Whether the Agency I will be able to coordinate the various elements 'inter¬ ested in Palestine upbuilding only tinie can. fell, but at least a. begtniiing. has been made to put ihis vast project on a common sense basis. The Agency will have to bear in mind (hat intensive cani- paigns cannot go on indefinitely and that a fixed basis for the upbuilding work must be fountl."

It was founded ui IfilM) by a small group of sincerely religious Jews who rented an old house on Moiiml Street where they convened to have their services. They made many sacrifices in order to maintain'ami advance the inter¬ ests of the congregation, Tlie present structure which houses the congret'ation was built 20 years ago, and is a bee-hive of activity for old and, young.

Agency, were ci.intaiiicd in a resohition adopted unani¬ mously at today's session of the Jewish Af^cncy Council,
The. asseinbly of Zioniks and Noii- /^ionists coniliined unanimously approved the following resolution, which was. sub¬ mitted in behalf of the constitution com^ mittee hy James N..

."Whereas, the IJuJ ^''ation has been approved by the L^ei'^'iie' of ' Nations,j .which designated Great Britain as the Mandatory Power, and by the Congress nf the United St^^tes of,America;
"Whereas,, the Palestine Mandate ce- :it«l the.Jejyish Agency as a public body to cooperate witli the Mandatory. Power in all matters concerning the establishment ni, the Jewish National Home;" .. "Whereas ;*he Mandatory Power lias i^jsproved the enlargemcni of the Jewif^h .^gency to include and represent all Jews, .Zionists as well as. non-Zionists;
j^VVhereas,'the Zionist Organization and the, non-Zionists have now joined in forniing the enlarged Jewish Agency, the Council of the Jewish.Agency at its first session unanimously resolves:
I"]. That it rejoices that all Israel is united for the upbuilding of the Jewish National Home in Palestine and calls uton every Je\y throughput the world to rally lo tl>e sacred cause.
/¦2. The Council of the Jewish -•Xgeiicy expresses its nppreciation to Great Britain for the issuaticc of the Bal¬ four Declaration an<l confidently hopes that the Mandatory, will cooperate with the enlarged Agency in fully realizing the great aim set by tlie Declaration and. the Mandate,
Ask Effective Co-operation of Manda¬ tory Power  ¦
"With that end in view the Council of the Jewish Agency fof Palestine asks that the acknowledged stjitus of the .^J;ency be effectively realized and mea- .sures be adopted by the Mandatory to foster the groivtii of the Jewish National Home, while guarding the just rights and promoting the ivelfare of all the inhabi¬ tants of Palestine.
"II, The Council bf the Jewish Agency instructs its Administrative Com¬ mittee and Executive to urge upon the Mandatory .the strong feeling existing among Jews throughout the entire world regarding the events of the Western Wall on the la.st Day of Atonement and since, so that it takes measures to prevent re¬ currence and leading to a final solution of the problem.

"The Joint Palestine Survey Commis¬ sion declared that the future satisfactory development of the. National Hone de¬ pends primarily on the adetpiate funds available. A marke<l increase in the in¬ come of the Keren Hayeso<l is indis¬ pensable if the present achievements arc to be maintained'and consolidated and the new work undertaken. . "The Council of the Jewish Agency addresses a solemn appeal to all JeiV3 to look upon contributions to the Keren Hayesod as a sacred tluly, expecting all Jews, and e.specially those united in the Agency, to use their ' best eiuleavors. to effectively strengthen their central fund and thus insure the success of^ the great work in Eretz Israel.

'NEW Y()KK.~lf ever the younger, generation needs living proof of the . time-worn axiom that hard work,, and plenty of it, is the surest road to health, wealth and liappiness, it has only to look at E<Uvard Heincinann, ICG West 7'2d street, chartet' member of the New Vork Curb Exchange, ut the age of 62.
For 'I'j years, without a vacation, Ed¬ ward Hcinematm never missed a day in VVall Street. And, to use his own words, he "loved.it."
"The, ticker and other appurtenances of the stock market arc to the,broker \vhat surgical instruments are to the surgeon —they are his life. When I w.alk past the Curb Exchange building now I have to turii my back ori it."
Gets $235,000 for Sent
Edward Htinemann has retired, is defi¬ nitely through with business and, al¬ though a little dubious as to the result, is going to try to enjoy a life of travel and leisure. On Aug, 2 he received $235,000 for his seat on the 'Curb, Ex¬ change, a membership vvhich originally iost, him exattly—rtothhig. When tlie Curb members erected the building-which they how occupy near Rector street each member was assessed' $1,500. .    .
Mr. Heineniann's chief problein now. seems to .be how. he can aaapt himself
ithout a single hobby to a life that does not begin with an alarm clock in the morning, and end .with the closing of brokerage accbunt' books each day.
His physician has told him that he ii
- good health, and to the lay observer his activity for a man of his years is re¬ markable,.' He-is medium in size with .k.wiry figure and has sharp clear eyes. Last year his father,.Meyer Hcinemann, died at the age oi ninetyrsix.
^       His First Vacation
^January of. last year. Mr. Heine- inann took his first vacation. With Mrs. Hcinemann he went to California to visit bis daughter aiid her husband at Beverly Hills. They returned in early spring, and ill April Mrs. Heincmann died sud¬ denly.
It was the shock of this event which led Mr. HeinEmann to. retire, he said, an action which he would never have otherwise contemplated. Even then his attachment for the Exchange was so great ^at only by. taking the, step sud¬ denly and resolutely could he bnng him¬ self to sell his seat and so leave forever the only life he ,had known smce bpy- hond.
Mr. Heincmann has no definite plans beyond the immediate future. He sails the Bremen Aug. 23,. five days before his birthday, and will go first to Ger¬ many. He is taking an automobile along and will tour north in the Scandinavian countries aiul elsewhere until the weather becomes cold, when he will turn south to Spain, Italy and the sunny climes. With Five Others
Forty-five yt:ars ago Mr. Heinemann and live other men staTte<l the New Vork Curb Market, They pooled their orders, and if one had one hundred- shares of stock to sell they agreed upon a market, marked the price on slips of paper, which were sent around to the various brokerage liou-ses. With the in¬ crease of business came the telephone and the "deaf aiul dumb" language to facili¬ tate handUng orders. This latter, with its gestures, amazing to the layman but significant to the brokers, was the methotl by: which millions of dollars worth of securities were bought and sold near the curb in Broad Street before the Curb "went indoors."
"In thirty years of trading before 1913, when,the C.ufb was -\vithoUt constitution or laws, T never had a bad contract," said Mr. Heinemann.
Mr. Heincinaiin began his brokerage business on the Curb the day of the Graiit and Ward failure during the gold panic. Shares traded in at first were mostly guaranteed railway stocks such as the Delaware and Lackawanna, the Xew York Central and other roads. He then got a job with the brokerage firm of Offenbach and Marx and upon the death oi Mr. Marx bought a seat on the Consolidated Exchange for $125. His work during the seven years he traded there attracted the attention of prominent bankers and he secured the commission of executing orders for J. Pierpont Morgan, continuing this until the war began and the Curb went into their new building. From then on he executed orders for banks, trust com¬ panies and large stock houses.
