ZIONISTS MEET
IN CONFERENCE
LONDON, July 3 (by Associated
Press).—Public ownership of land, a
co-operative commonw'ealth, and equal
rights for all, were advocated as the
three leading principles in the social
program of American Zionists desire
incorporated in the project for a Jew
ish homeland in Palestine, by Jacob
de Haas, executive secretary of the
Zionist organization of America.
Mr. de Haas arrived in London with
United States Supreme Court Justice
Louis D. Brandeis, honorary president
of the Zionist organization of America;
fudge William Mack, president; Na
than Straus, Mrs. Mary Fels, Profes
sor Felix Frankfurter, Captain Abra
ham Tulin, David Rosenbloom and
1 Louis Lipsky, organization secretary.
These are the advance guard of the
thirty-nine delegates of American
Zionists to the world Zionist confer
ence, convening in London tomorrow.
American Zionists will make united
effort to have the Pittsburg pro
gram, which they adopted in 1918 as
the guiding social principles for the
Jewish homeland, approved by the
world conference, in the program it
will formulate for the policy to be
carried out in Paletslne. Mr. de Haas
if the statement he gave out on the
eve of what is considered the most
significant Jewish conference ever
held, stressed the progressive tenets
of the Pittsburg program.
“The Zionists are not going to be
satisfied with a Palestine or land of
Israel, which will be a mere dupli
cate of the numerous small states of
Europe or South America. They be
lieve that the 2,000 years of suffer
ing and martyrdom of the wandering
Jew has given to our race a wealth
of experience which, added to the
ancient heritage of the Jew, can be
made fruitful in the creation of a
model settlement in the land of our
forefathers.
“The Pittsburg platform may be
summarized as follows: (1) Public
•wnership of land; (2) the co-oper
ative commonwealth; (3) equal
rights. The first is expressed in the
phrase that the land of Palestine
shall be owned or controlled for the
benefit of the people of Palestine as
a. whole. The Zionists of America
► have resolved that the benefits which
come through increasing land values
will not go into the pockets of land
speculators, but will always remain
‘community values,’ which will go in
to the public treasury.
“The second principle indicates that
the Zionists of America are resolved
to encourage co-operative enterprise
to the largest extent possible, so that
c co-operative commonwealth may be
gradually evolved, without, however,
crushing the individual initiative.
Tkere is no simple formula by which
the co-operative commonwealth can
be achieved—it must be a develop
ment through struggle and experi
mentation. In any event, we have set
the goal!
“The third principle is one with
which all Americans are familiar—at
least in theory, though we may fail
in actual practice. Whereas, we con
fine our program of ‘equal rights’ to
the narrow field of politics, the Zion
ists of America would apply it to all of
Palestinian life—to politics and eco
nomics, to law and industry, to man
and woman, to every sect and every
creed.”
AALAND ISLAND
PEOPLE DESIRE
SWEDISH RULE
NEW YORK, July 3 (by Associated
Press).—The natives of the Aaland
islands, which lie between Sweden
and Finland, at the mouth of the
Gulf of Bothnia, are engaged in a
lively agitation for reunion with Swed
en, according to the advices received
by representatives of the Swedish
government in this country. The pop
ulation of the islands is about 12,000.
Formerly they were held by Sweden
but they were taken over by Russia
120 years ago. After the world war
a delegation from the Aland Islands
presented to the peace conference a'
claim for annexation to Finland. A
commission was appointed by the
conference which recommended that
the archipelago be neutralized under
a guarantee of the League of Nations.
Apparently this delegation did not
faithfully represent the attitude of all
the islanders for other Alanders have
been agitating for self-determination
and permission to join with Sweden
since the beginning of 1918.
The Swedish government has taken
up the subject with the powers and
has asked the government of Finland
to submit the question by referendum
to the natives of the Aland -islands.'
According to a statement drawn up
by a Swedish premiers, efforts to set
tle the matter between Finland and
Sweden have failed and the Swedish
government has appealed to the peace
conference in support of the demands
of those Alanders who desire to be
annexed to Sweden.
| On June 1 a delegation of the county
council at Aland, empowered by 96
percent of the population of the
islands, visited Stockholm and was
received by King Gustave. This dele
gation presented the demands of the
islanders for their right of selfdeter
mination and their intention to re
unite with Sweden, declaring that
their failure to receive these rights
were causing impatience and that if
they were withheld while being grant
ed to others would cause great appre
hension with the Aland population.
The King assured them that Swed
en was making all possible efforts to
obtain a decision which would be
based on the vote of the islanders
themselves.
