J udea n Cen tral Council.
Encouraged hy the success \\ hich attended thf' activities of Council during the past vear, the new E-x:eculive has decided to con- tinue \vith such work and Lo embark upon
~everal new and progre ive scheme . The programme for the en uing year as eml odied in the manifesto of the Executive
\\hi ch has just been issued to all the con- . l·tuenl societie m the Cape Provine is as follows:-
The Executive is determined that every
~ocietv shall be vi ited at least twice during the yc.ar and propaganda meeting held. In addition, in every case where a Society is addressed, the Committee will have to meet and questions affecting the ociety and Council will be discussed. The societies wi1l he trengthened, dormant ones will be re\ ived and attempts made to create new ones.
The tour of Societies in the Eastern Pro- vince by one of the Executive members will be conductf'd toward the end of the coming July and August.
An event of considerable interest and im- portance will be the holding of the annual Judean Parliament for the benefit of country societies at Worce ter on the 10th July next, and every effort will be made to maintain the prestige of Council by making this ParliamPnt a unqualified a success as it was last year. Evt>ry endeavour will be made to encourage as many new members as possible to participate in the Palestine tour at the end of the year. ocieties 'vill be encouraged to rai e funds for the purpo e of sending a
Soeiety representative on this Lour. TI1e tour is a comprehensive one in as much as tourist \\ill came in contact not only with Zionists in Palestine but al o with Zionists, e~pecially the v outh, in Europe.
Th Executhe hope to come to some de- finite understanding with the senior organi·
saLion, whereby the differences in the past ma) be wept away and petty strifes make
\\a) for mutual and cordial co-operation in the future.
Societies are being encouraged and ad, ised lo hold an annual function in aid of the Jewi~h l\ational Fund on one of the tradi- tional historic days in the Je,\ish calendar.

The Zionist Conversazione.
Dr. J. Sachs delivered a leclurette on
"The Individual and the Race., al Lhc Zionist conversazione on Tuesday night.
The individual of every race, said Dr.
Sa ch ·. except of the Jewish, was the cmnula- l i \ e rPsult of the history of his race. The
.kw
di1INcd in this T spect as his history had been discontinued. The cultural wealth of a people could be compared to a string of pearls.' In the case of the Jewish people, thP string had snapped and some of th<>1w,uls had strayed and been Lhr~aded on the strings of other culture . It v. as no use claim- ing them. harping on the fact, for inslance, that Einslein belonged to us. Other nations could afford to plagiari e us. The only thing for us was to conw hark to our own undispulr.cl possession -our ancient hi Lory.
The difficulty of reconciling Lhis ancient his- lorv with modern life did not really exist~
then~ was a tendency to-day to return lo the primili\c.
Dr. Saehs went on Lo compare the Jewish and Hdlenic cultures; Lhe former, he said, stood for truth and ju~tice which ·were re- lali\f~; the latler for heauty which \\'as ab~olute. The Jew had the stronger inner dimE'm:ion, he was more inluiti\e. i\fodern art . trO\ c for LlH' same and \\as go' cm eel hy rnonwntary inspiration, hut failed when i11::-;piration \\as not strong rnough; it had lo ha\ e ncalivc inslind suC'h as that of th<' proplwt-.;, Thrrc had to he life of con--tar imrn1d rC'tH'\ al: 1110d1·rn lifc> had contimwl flu mHI dianµ1· only c• l1·rnall:.

Whal ''a"' neces::ary \VHS a revision of calegories-Lhe individual life had Lo be ont> of realisation and the national life one of adjuslmenl.\'Ve failed because our leader had too much ideali-.m: we needed morE' idealism in in- dividual Jewish life and less in national Jewish life. Summing this up in an aphorism, Dr. Sachs aid: "Make your private vices public (national) and your public 'irtues prhale."
