Zionists of the U. S- Will
Discuss Reorganization
At Detroit Meet
Thirty-second   Annual   Conven¬ tion to Be Devoted to Re¬ adjustment of. Zionist Organization
tHE   DETROIT^MEETING
WILL   ALSO   DISCUSS
NEW PROBLEMS
NEW YORK.—The readjustment of the Zionist Organization of America to thc new situation in Jewish life will be <tnc of the principnl problems before thc thirty-second annual convention of the Zionist Organization which will be held in Detroit, Mich., beginning June 30th, according to an- outline agenda of the convention issued by the national head¬ quarters.' .
Hundreds of delegates: from all parts of the country will assemble at thc Hotel Statler in Detroit for wha,t Js generally regarded as pne of the most important gatherings held in the history of the Zionist movement in America. During the past several months, a Committee on Inquiry, appointed by thc National Executive . Committee of the Organiza- '_ tion, has been studying the various prob¬ lems which face-the Zionist Organiza¬ tion as .a result of the approaching ex- . tension of the Jewish Agency. The find¬ ings of this committee will provide the basi.s for the discussion of tbc new methods, that are to be adopted in'the cducatioiial, ciiltural ,; and propaganda work of the Zionists.
It has been the general opinion of Zionist leaders that with the division of responsibility for Palestine rebuild¬ ing work, that the Zionist movement should be able to devote itself to ; , greater extent to that phase of its ac tivities which had been greatly neglected during the past eight years, whcij all effort? were concentrated on providing the budget  for  Palestine rebuilding.
At the present time a similar inquiry is being conducted by the World Zionist Organization, and-the problem of Zion¬ ist reorganization will be discussed at the Congress wbich will begin in Zurich July 38th. Although it is, recognized by " Zionist leaders that the motive power for Palestine reconstruction work will have to continue to emanate from the Zionist constituency, it is felt that a new type of propaganda will have to be employed which will take into' account the larger .sphere of influence,oif the Zionist move¬ ment.
Another of the issues thg.t will come up for action before the. Detroit Zionist Convention is the increase of member¬ ship dues in the Organization. Accord¬ ing to a decision of the National Execu¬ tive Committee it will be recommended to the convention that dues be raised in order to pirovide the organization with larger revenue for cultural and educar tioiial work.
The convention will also consider ? new constitution for Zionist Organiza¬ tion, The convention in Pittsburgh last year voted for the appointment cif a special Constitutional Committee v^hich has been meeting throughout the past twelve months. Its report includes a number of administrative changes of great importance for the general struc¬ ture of the Organization.
The Detroit meeting will also discuss the various problems that will be pre¬ sented at the Zurich Congress. Among these' will be the extension of the Jew- ,ish Agency, the structure of the Agency. the program of Palestine rebuilding, and coordination between the varioiis Zionist institutions.

ANN ARBOR—For the, first time in the history of. the state'of Michigan, a student Zionist convention will be staged within its boundaries with the fourth annual convention of Aviikah, American Student Zionist Federation, to be held in Ann Arbor, June 27-29. . According to Maurice Pekarsky, president of the Michigan chapter of thp society, who is in charge of preparations, it is planhed to make this convention the best in the history of Avukah, and 00 pains are being spared in thc attempt.
There are three serious problems which must be taken up by the .dele¬ gates in their three day conference.. These, are (1) the Palestine prbject to be undertaken . by Avukah,, (2) a cul¬ tural program based on Jewish life in Palestine today, and (3) a- Zionist pub^ licatioh program.  .   ,
Arrangements are being made for a ^nationally known speaker tq address the gathering, and it is already definite¬ ly announced that James Waterman Wise, national president of Avukah who spoke in Ann Arbor a short time ago, will play a leading role irt ithe convention.
The convention is open to all students of the University as well as members, of Avukah and it is hoped that many will come in from Detroit to attend.\
Although Avukah was estaWished but four years ago, it has steadily grown until liow there are about twenty; more or less active chapters, representing about forty- colleges and universities. It has undertaken for its work, the awakening among the American Jewish youth of a Jewish national consciousness which should be filled \vith intelligent meaning
