WISE Declares Cause of Unity May Be Harmed by Brown's Stat«> men( New York (J. T. A.)—Taking issue with David A. Brown, Chairman of the Palestine Emergency Fund for re marks of aspersion cast upon Dr. Stephen S. Wise by Mr. Brown in a statement to the newspapers of Sun day, Mr. Louis Lipsky, President of the Zionist Organization of America in a statement before a special meet ing of the Administrative Committee of the Zionist Organization held all day Sunday at the Hotel Astor, char acterized as “baseless and uncalled for and hurtful to the cause of unity” the charge made by Mr. Brown that Dr. Wise had broken the united Jew ish front. Mr. Lipsky’s statement was as fol lows: “It is to be regretted that Mr. Da vid A. Brown should have made the statement attributed to him in the press on Sunday morning. Had he known the facts he would not have spoken as he did and raised the ques tion of a united front at this time. He could easily have ascertained the facts from Mr. Felix M. Warburg, who knows the source of the proposal for the calling of an all-Jewish Amer ican conference for Palestine. It was at the invitation of Dr. Chaim Weiz- mann, President of the Jewish Agen cy, that Dr. Wise, forgetful of past differences, placed himself in the ser vice of the Zionist Administration, promising to further the calling of such a conference. This conference was not to be an independent effort, but was to emanate from the Jewish Agency, of whose Administrative Committee Mr. Warburg is Chairman. Approval of the calling of this confer ence, leaving the date open, w r as given by the National Executive Commit tee of the Zionist Organization and by the Executive Committee of the American Jewish Congress. “When the American Jewish Con gress received a reply from Mr. War burg suggesting that a conference at this time would be premature, the American Jewish Congress agreed to abide by his decision. The insinua tions of Mr. Brown regarding Dr. Wise are therefore baseless and „ r called for, and, I am afraid, may £ hurtful to the cause of unity which Mr. Brown thinks he is serving.” Mr. Brown, in his statement pub. lished in the metropolitan press on Sunday attacking I)r. Wise, said in. teralia: “The expectation of the civilized world with regard to how the Jewish people shall conduct themselves - these trying times is predicated on the fact that very shortly before the in cidents occurred which have so pained the Jewish hearts and so shocked a! humanity, there was after years of deliberation and negotiation, finally established an authoritative body, the Jewish Agency, with a mandate from the Jewish people to deal with them and for them and to deal with the British Government, with all the gov ernments within the League of Na tions and with the whole world in ail matters relating to Palestine. “And, as a matter of fact, it seem ed for a considerable period that the greatly desired and necessary Jewish unity had been established the Jew ish outcry against the outrages in Palestine was shared in equally by those who have never been able to accept the political phases of the Jewish development of that land. They, as well as the most ardent Zionists, joined in a protest that was as potent as it was dignified. “It is greatly to be deplored, there fore, that this unity front has been broken—broken by one who loudly proclaimed that he had been summon ed to Paris and asked for his help by the president of the Jewish Agency who is also president of the World Zionist Organization. Just why, in the face of these utterances, just why. af ter joining his voice with the leader? of American Zionism, he should now choose to propose, calling an ‘all Jew ish conference’ to do something or other regarding Palestine is a myste ry which can be solved by only the chosen few w r ho can follow his mind. That, I confess, is something more than I can do.” MRS. FELIX M. WARBURG GIVES TO PALESTINE FOUNDATION FUND Jerusalem (J. T. A.)—A gift of $50,000 from Mrs. Felix M.
