BASLE, SWITZERLAND (WI^S—Palcor Agency)—A pil¬ grimage dominated by a mixed mood of solemnity and fjaiety brought to this historic.birthplace of political Ziohism the majority of the delegaties attending the twentieth biennial World Zionist Congress at Zurich. With their railway tickets carrying a Hebrew stamp, by authority of the Swiss Federal Railway Administration, the delegates steamed into thc famed Casino for the exercises mark¬ ing the fortieth anniversary of the smnitioning oi the first Congress by Theodor Herzl,
Thc platform of the hall which tli,cy entered was decorated with two huge blue and white: flags flanking a large, portrait of Herzl. Manahcm Ussish¬ kin, chairman of. the Zionist Actions Committee and prcsidentof thc Jew¬ ish National Fundj presided. Beside him on the platform .were the surviv-' ing members of the first Zionist Con¬ gress.'.Mr. Ussishkin, in his introduc¬ tory rciiiarks, devoted a special greet¬ ing to'the delegates of the first Zionist Congress and to those: who had at- tendedthat historic session as guests.
"For the whole Zionist Organiza¬ tion this is a great festival. It is forty years since the appearance on the hori¬ zon of thp eagle-like figure of Theo¬ dor Herzl, who transformed Jewish life. Since then the Zionist movement haa made great advances," Mr. Ussish- ,kin said. "Herzl came, first with a Jewish State proposal. It was then re¬ duced by the Basle program to a helmstaat (homeland). Then, later, it was widened into a Jewish National Hoiyie by the Balfour Declaration. And now,again a Jewish State'is on the horizon." Reviewing the history of the Zionist movement, Ussishkin paid tribute to the great figures in its career, such as Max Nordau, Max Mandeistamm, .David Wolf sohn, Yechiel Tschlctiow and Nahiitn Soko¬ low. He .then referred to those of its leading men who sMH survive, t)ut not all of whom are present.        -—- ^,:
"Amqng those bearing the heritage of those years the foremost figure is Chaim Weizmann," Ussishkin' re¬ marked. After-paying tribute to the Zionist President's services;,-lie ex¬ pressed the wish that "Weizmann will live long enough to become the Presi¬ dent of the Jewish State of the whole of Palestine. .At .the: first Congress only one man, Moi*decai Hacohen, spoke Hebi-ew, which was then re¬ garded as a curiosity. Now Hebrew is the iricdium of educatioh'and is the spoken language of Jewish Palestine. In such an achievement we have no reason for disappointment but rather a source of. hope." ¦
Touching upon the issue which is the lierve center of the twentieth Congress, Ussishkin declared: "There are no dif¬ ferences in opinion among us with re¬ gard to the principle of a Jewish State but only with regard to the method of achieving it." After . referring to AVeizmann's achievements' for Zionism, he said that "despite the criticism of Weizmann, he is the embodiment of the whole movement, not only of one party. Having one principle, we may hope that we shall emefge from this Congress united."
He then invited the delegates to the first. Congress to participate in the exercises marking the ^fiftieth anniver¬ sary of the upbuilding of Palestine "to be held in th^e Parliament of the Jew¬ ish State." The hall rang for minutes with continuous cheering as this prophecy closed his remarks.       ^
When Weizmann was introduced by Ussishkin, he was given a prolonged ovation. He pointed out that he had not participated in the first Congress because it had adjourned while he: was en route. But his Zionist career, he pointed out, did include attendance at the second Congress* Dr. Weizmann then briefly reviewed forty years of Zionist achievement arid sketched .outline the character and career of Theodor Herzl,
Describing the change in the status of the Zionist movement that had oc¬ curred since then, he referred to the difficult problems with which the twentieth Congress is confronted. He expressed satisfaction that the Con¬ gress "is free of personal recrimina¬ tions and ambitions, for that is a guarantee of ultimate triumph. The period of the Balfour Declaration marked the half-way mark in our his¬ tory of forty' years. That historic document was issued under terrible conditions for the Jewish people. ]3ut the plight of even those days has been intensified,' Jewry is brolcen up.  Ter
rible. circumstances press upon It ev¬ erywhere, particularly upon the reser¬ voir of Jewry in Russia, which, if it liad- remained unbroken, would have lessened our present difficulties."
The most touching scene at this cel¬ ebration occurred when a number of youths, members of the Brith Habonim of Switzerland, brought iii the first Zionist flag, which had been used at the first Zioriist Congress> As they marched up the aisle toward the plat¬ form with the banner there was cheer¬ ing, and shouting. Many of the dele¬ gates, mcii and women alike, wept, with unashamed tears at this symbol of the days and life of Theodor, Herzl. A young boy presented the flag to Ussishkin with a Hebrew greeting. Thanking him, Ussishkin asked the youths to preserve the flag for the tirhe when it would be brought to the Jewish  Parliament  in Jerusalem.
pr.-A. Kahn, son of Rabjbi. Leopold Kahn who participated in the first Zionist Congress, then greeted the as¬ sembly in Hebrew.. Following him, messages were read, from delegates and guests present at the;,first Cohr gress, 'Most of the.senders are now living in Palestine. Chief Ralibi Mar¬ cus'Ehrenprfeis of Sweden, one of the speakers at the first Congress and one .of the close collaborators oE, Herzl, gave, persqtial reminiscences of; the Zionist leader; Another veteran of the first-Congress addressed the celebra¬ tion in the person of Dr. David Farb¬ stein, one. of its technical organizers. . The two final speakers were Prof. Hans Loewy, of the Hebrew. Univer¬ sity, and Leib Jaffe, Director of the Keren Hayesod, who were delegates at thc first Zionist Congress. The eel ebration concluded with the singing by the choir of Hatikvah, iri which the whole audience joined. After the meet¬ ing, the crowd spontaneously surged toward the bridge which Wfas made famous by the photograph of Herzl leaning on its rail.
Stephen Wise Attacks Partition
ZURICH (WNS-Palcor Agency) — pr. Stephen S. Wise, speaking in op¬ position to partition, told the Zionist Congress,that it was "jthe trusteed the Jewish people. As such we can¬ not accept a divided, minimized Pales¬ tine." Voicing the views held by a part pf tlie American delegation, mostly members of Hadassah, Dr. Wise $aid: "I am not unmindful of the ovpr- whelming problem facing the British government, but we demand the high¬ est standards of honor froni Britain, The matter of the accejptance or rejec¬ tion -of -partition involves no conflict between Eastern and Western Jewry. Western Jews are as near in spirit to Eastern Jewry as any Jewish group. "I declare in my own name and in the name of many thousands of AmerT ican Zionists that our objection to the Royal Commission's report is not synonymous with' opposition to the founding of a Jewish State. I am not sure that the Yishuv accepts partition. But if it does, its readiness is horn of six months of unchecked warfare .by the.Arabs. The opponents of partition are not unconcerned with the misery of the Jews of Eastern Europe, It is just because I am thinking of millions, perhaps half the Jews of the earth, that I say that we cannot as trustees of tlie Jewish people accept a divided, min¬ imized Palestine.
"After less than twenty years, it is too soon to maintain that the Mandate is incapable of fulfilment. After both Britain and the League declared that Arab and Jewish claims were recon¬ cilable, it is the essence of stultifica¬ tion for Great Britain to declare now that it must abandon the Mandate. For Britain to abandon the .Mandate as an ideal and a principle further weakens aij already shattered League. Britain cannot say that it failed as trustee- Rather, it failed to try' And if the whole truth be told, Britain has (Continued «n page 4)

NAZIS   RENEW  ANTI- SEMITIC CAMPAIGN IN SCHOOLS
BERLIN (WNS)-A renewed campaign of anti-Semitism.in the pubr tic schools of Germany, through the exploitation of histi)ry, geography, re¬ ligion, art, biology aiid other subjects for inculcating hatred of the Jew in the impressionable/minds of children got under, way throughout the coun¬ try with the publication «.f a new, teachers' handbook of anti-Semitism for use.in the neW'school term. Dis¬ tinguished by a preface by Julius Streicher, the haindbook, which is called "The Jewish;Question in Teach-. ing," outlines in gre;it detail nicthods of utilizing all courses i'or anti-Semi¬ tism.'; ;>,
It recommends that teachers inform children that ancient Egypt suffered from the Jev/s who then conquered Palestine by "slatilghteTing natives' that there was "ai Jewish conspiracy in Persia,"- ^hereiQueen Esther oi"- ganized a "bloodr^h" to .kill thou¬ sands.of Ahasuerus' subjects; that the Jews were responsible for the fall of the Roman Empire; that Jews were found "wherever revolution upsets the established order, from the great French Revolution on, dbwii to the present day," The manual also-advises that teachers emphasize the careers of such men , as Jesus, Martin' Luther, Tacitus,' Bismarck, Hitler, Bonaparte and Frederick the Great "who had the courage. to tell the* truth about the Jew's," and that children should, he taught the importance of racial purity, the dangers of "racial turpitude" and the reasons for .forbidding Jews to live-with Aryan women. For art classes the manual recommends that children be * encouraged to include Jewish faces in drawing as a means of developing a sense of racial differ¬ ences.,
With regard to religion, the manual instructs teachers to call their pupils' attention to the cruel attributes, of "Jahweh," the JewishGod, and recom¬ mends that they should cuU. irom the Old Testament passages in whith Jah¬ weh commands his chosen people to "oppress and exterminate the non- Jews." .:

GERMAN   PROTESTANTS OPENLY DEFY NAZIS
BERLIN (WNS)—The first openly organized defiance of the Nazi regime in Germany by thousands of followers of the militantly anti-Nazi pastor Martin Nicinoeller, in front of his Berlin church forced the Nazi au¬ thorities to postpone the clergyman's trial on charges of defying the Nazi government. The unprecedented anti- Nazi demonstration was in bold de¬ fiance -of the Gestapo's order to dis¬ perse. The demunstration occurred after the police,had canceled the eve¬ ning service at Pastor Niemoeller's church. As soon as word of the police action became known thousaiids of anti-Nazi Protestants converged on the church and held an impromptu outdoor meeting to the accnmpaniirierit of hymn singing. Unable to break up the gath¬ ering,, the police arrested hundreds, in¬ cluding. Niemoellcr and his wife.'
Railway  Tickets  Carry   He- brew Stamp
ZURICH (WNS-Palcor Agency)— Proof of Swiss friendliness to the Zionist Congress was provided in the ticketsl issued for the railway trip to Basel, where the 'l&th anniversary of the congress will be celebrated. The tickets carry a Hebrew stamp author¬ ized .by the Federal Railway Authori¬ ties.
ZURICH (WNS-PdIcor Agency) —Thc fiercest internal struggle in the Zionist movement in. thirty-four years ended,, at least for thc time being, when 304 delegates to the 20th World Zionist Congress voted, in favor pf.a rtfiolution approving irt principle the project of a Jewish,State in Palestine and 158 voted against, with a few delegates abstaining from voting. The vote at a public session came as the claimax of six dayis of almost con¬ tinuous'Sessions \of tiic Congress be¬ hind closed dooi's. Leading the battle for the Jewish State scheme were Dr. Chaim Weizmann and David Ben Gurion. On the other side were Men¬ ahem Ussishkin and Dr. Stephen S- Wise, "The battle df the giants" was a descriptive phrase applied to tlie controversy which was projected when the Royal Commission, headed by Earl Pcel^ recommended the partition of Palestine.as the only, solution of the problem of "an utiworkable Man¬ date." ¦
After the previoiis night's session, which was' one of the most brilliant forensic encounters in Zionist history, when Weizriiann and Ussishkin gave the final arguments: for theli" respec¬ tive points of view, partisans of ,the two sides kept,Up a continuous effort to round up voters. But it was evi¬ dent that the :ihaiority of the delegates had already made; .up their . mindsl Sharp disappointment was . expressed, by Dr. Wise as he came to the plat¬ form to dissent from the'pro-partition vote. His appearance was the signal for a sustained ovation from the en¬ tire assembly.
In deeply passionate tones, he cried out three times, "Nein, nein, neinl' and "no, no, no!", to emphasize in both' German and English his con¬ demnation of thp decision to negotiate i
tine, including TransjOrdan; the pos¬ sibility of the evolution of. Palestine . into a Jewish State is inherent in the Balfour Declaration; and Jewish setr ticmcnt substantially benefited Arabs; second, the Congress rejects the Royal Coininission's concliision that the na¬ tional aspirations of the Jews and ¦ Arabs arc irreconcilable, declaring that the main obstacle, to cooperation Was the uhccrtairity with, regard- to the ultimate intentions of die Mandatory arid the vacillations of the Palestine Administration, engendering lack of confidence in the' determination and ability of, the government to imple¬ ment the Mandate; third, the Congress also reaffirms the readiness, of the ¦Jewish people to reach a peaceful set¬ tlement witli the Arabs, based ,^on the free development of both-and the mu¬ tual i-ecognition of their rights.
When the session opened the. strength of the various parties was .as follows: Labor, 224, including 23 Hashomer Ha-zair; Confederation of General,Zionists, Group A, 120; Miz- rachi, 84, including 24 Hapoel Hamiz- rachi; Union of General Zionists, Group B, 45; and Jewish ,State Party, 11—a total of 4J)0.
The atmosphere at the session both before and during the voting was .in¬ describably teusc, with solemn silence: prevailing as delegates cast their voles, when the long-expected roUcall was finally begun. Wabrhaftig, Mizrachi of Poland, interpolated an.expression of doubt regarding the constitutionality of the vote, iri view of a Zionist Organ¬ ization statute requiring a three-quar¬ ter majority at two Consecutive con¬ gresses to alter the aim of Zionism. He argued that Palestine as referred; to in the Basle; program. meant the whole of Palestine and not part of it.

Royal    Cammissipii's    partition    but
against , Weizmann's   and   Ben   Gur-
ion's," he declared, irr rebuke to the
two men whose fight has been suc¬ cessful. "Why. wait for another Cprir
gress;" he asked, referring to the ma¬ jority resolution saying that any new
plan devised must be Submitted to a
newly elected Congress, "which, will
not have the honor of the Jewish peo¬ ple in its keeping any more than this
one did?,
"The, British, people  are  standing
on their own feet and speaking with
their own mind and will respect our
self-respect.   This is pur moment of
decmon   and,   as   President   of   the.
Zionist ¦ Organization of, America,  I
believe that despite a portion of thc
American delegates whb, for reasons unknown, :have chosen to support par¬ tition,: I represent the greatest Jewish masses in-America." Dr. Weizmann later came over to Dr; Wise and smilingly patted his shoulder in friendly gesture.
Eliezer Peryi, of the . Hashomer Hazair, then read the minority resolU' tion opposing any form of partition as a basis for negotiations. In a firm, sonorous Hebrew, he emphasized the points in opposition to the Jewish StiTte scheme. Ke was followed by David Remez,'secretary of thc Histad¬ ruth, Jewish Federation of Labor in Palestine, who declared that he was speaking for the entire, united labor bloc, with the exception of the Hasho¬ mer Hazair, in supporting the majority resolution.
Before the majority resolution was presented, it had gone'through some eleventh-hour emendations of its seven' point formula. The latter had reaf¬ firmed the historic connection of the Jewish people with Palestine; insisted upon maintenance of Jewish rights un¬ der the Mandate and-denied the un- workability of the Mandate; rejected palliatives proposed by the Royal Com¬ mission; protested against a political maximum for immigration; endorsed Dr, Weizmann's declaration that the proposed partition is unacceptable; authorized the Executive to negotiate for conditions under which a Jewish State may be established; and resolved that any definite project must be sub¬ mitted to a newly elected Congress.
