Through a regrettable typographical error the names of I. J. Lower, of Boston, Rabbi Harry Kaplan of Pittsfield and Joseph Schubow of Boston appeared in the story on the New England Zionist convention printed in the Bulletin of June 10 as urging the non-acceptance of the Brandeis memorandum unless changes were made in it. These three spoke in favor of accepting the memorandum. Those who spoke against accepting it in its present form were David Radovsky of Fall River, Benjamin Rabolsky of Boston and Benjamin Everts.
The full text of the resolution adopted by the New England Zionist convention on the Brandeis memorandum follows:
“The annual New England Zionist Conference expresses its approval of the steps taken by the Administrative Committee of the Zionist Organization of America, aiming to unite all factions in the Zionist movement of America through the creation of a consolidated National Zionist administration, and especially endorses its action to that end in sending a delegation to consider this matter with Mr. Justice Brandeis.
“The Conference places on record its judgment that the proposal made by Mr. Justice Brandeis would not lead to the establishment of the desired united front, nor to the creation of harmony and co-operation in Zionist ranks, and therefore cannot be taken as a basis for action at the forthcoming Cleveland Zionist Convention, and urges the continuation of efforts to establish a united front which is so urgently needed.”
