The two day convention of the Ohio Zionist region closed with a banquet at which Nathan Straus, Jr., of New York, was the principal speaker.
More than three hundred Ohio Zionists representing twenty-six Jewish communities in the state gathered in Cleveland for the convention.
After listening to a number of speakers, the convention went on record as welcoming the return of Dr. Chaim Weizmann to a position of leadership; pledging loyalty to the newly-elected executive of the World Zionist Organization; greeting Louis Lipsky on his election to the world executive, and urging the establishment of a Jewish National Fund Council in each community in Ohio.
Isaac Carmel, executive secretary of the Ohio Zionist organization, reported that membership had grown more than fifty percent in the last year, both in the senior and youth groups.
