Conversazione.

The Comersazione in the Zionist Hall on Tuesday last wasi well attended. Ad\.

Morri Alexander was the speaker of the evening. He chose as his suhject

•· Coalition in Zionism." Before calling on Mr. Alexander, Dr. Kark (in the chair) expressed on behalf of the gathering the heartiest congratulations on the occasion of Re\. Bender's seventieth birthday. He also welcomed Rev. Rosenberg, of Port Elizabeth- a South African who had trained for the Rabbinical profession in London.

\fr. Alexander began his address by de- fining the word coalition. He pointed out that though the world looked upon Je,uy as united this was far from being the case.

I speak, ~aid Mr. Ale ander, a· one who has heen in dose touC'h \\ith all Jc\\ ish 1110\ements. 1 hough Wf' arc all hound together as hrothers in pursuit of a great national ideal lo reneate our national home, h cause of diffPrence of detail we ar<' di,·ided. We lul\'c a O'reat numhcr of parties in th<' Zio11i~t i\fovPm<'lll.

;\Ir. Al(' a11d1 r then d1•:;crih1'd tht> diff1·n·11t parties in Lhc movcmc11l.

The time ha..: come for us lo impress upon the people, said Mi. Alexander, Lhal tlw things thal unile us are much grealcr Lhan those thal !-iCparat us. The national C'ause is greater than the differences rn ,parties. We should tak<' a lesson from

South Afriran politics.

~urely in view of the tragedy in Ger- many lo-day, said Mr. Ale ander, we should he able to forget our differences. We should go Lo Congress as a united body, with one common bond-Erelz Israel. We c;hould have- a combined Cabinet. We should speak with one powerful united

\Oice. If we do nol unite 'rn are simply playing into the hands of our enemies-

." we do unite-be it for a short time-

this period will be crowned with great prosperity. As Booke · Washington s-aid, let us be as separate as the fingers hut united as the hand.

A lively discussion followed' in which Mes rs. J. Gitlin, M. Helman. G. Telem, Dr. Mibashan, Messrs. Katlowitz, Sandler, Clouts, Rubik and Achron took part. Mr.

Alexander replied to questions-.

Mr. I. Friedman, in the earlier part of the evening, gave a piano solo.

Mr. Kottler read the news.

Cape Town Young Judeans.

On Saturday evening, 15th April, a mo-t successful Pe ach entertainment was held in the Zionist Hall. There was not too large an audience present, but those who were there spent an enjoyable evening.

The programme consisted chiefly of a

" Living ewspaper ," during which papers and articles in connection with Pesach were read by variou members of the Society.

\Tr. S. l\I. LeYin read out two very interest- ing articles, one on the Blood Libel and the other an appreciation of Mose by Ahad Ha-am.

During the course of the evening, Mr. H.

Zuckerm.:m delivered an inspiring address on the significance of Pesach, drawing ex- treme! y c1 ear paralle 1 s heh\ een the position of our forefathers in Egypt and the sad lot of our brethren in Germany to-day.

An excellent evening's entertainment \\'as

brought to a filling close by Lhe singing of

Hebre" son~~. Thi:,;· is the first time the S1>ricl~ has emharked upon such a venture, but it TI<'\ e:thelcss proved very urcessful.

The Hora was alrn danced with much gusto and enthusiasm, and the meeting was afterwards closed \\ith the singing of the f Iatikvah.
