A very enthusiastic meeting of delegates and members of the Zionist convention committee was held last night in Judge [Hugo] Pam's courtrooms.

From the many reports one could tell that the twenty-second Zionist Convention, to be held in Chicago from the 12th to the 18th of September, will be an historic gathering. It is a meeting of Jewish representatives at a time when the doors to Palestine, as a permanent home for the Jews, will soon be opened.

Mr. Max Shulman, Nathan D. Kaplan and Major [Julian] Mack told the audience of all the plans by which they hope to make the convention a great success.

Judge Pam, chairman of the convention [committee], appealed to everyone to help in this great task. He also left last night for New York to confer with Zionists there about the convention.

Dr. S. M. Melamed, editor of the Courier, in an impressive speech, emphasized the fact that delegates who came to the convention should have a clear understanding of the constructive as well as economic work [needed] in Palestine.

Mr. S. B. Komaiko was appointed by Judge Pam a member of the publicity committee.
