Mrs. Arhchibald Silverman of Providence, R. I., criticized Dr. Stephen S. Wise for his attitude on the Jewish Agency, saying that he was making a "football out of Zionism."

The conference adopted $30,000 as the quota for Western Massachusetts’ share for the United Palestine Appeal. Nathan E. Goldstein was reelected chairman of the Western Massachusetts drive and Harry E. Ehrlich chairman of the Springfield drive for U. P. A.
