A four-day convention of representatives of Young Zionist districts of the Zionist Organization of America concluded here after adopting plans for extension of Zionist education and activities among American Jewish youth. Some 400 delegates attended the parley.
Rabbi Irving Miller, national vice-president of the Z.O.A., urged the delegates to “face the obligation” of mobilizing American public opinion to support Israel, as the only Middle East country to be relied upon by the Western Powers. Rabbi Miller attacked U.S. “oil interests” whom he charged with placing “America’s moral leadership second to their own personal interests.”
