!\.. }'riedlnncler adclr ssed t.he Herzlia on the subj d "IIas the Herzlia Failed?"
.\t the ouL et ~1r. Friedlander admitted that th :ocicty had ucceedcd admirably a· fnr us its cultural ancl social work wu vo11cerned, but he eollsiderecl that it had foiled lnmentabl in fulfilling the purpo. e for which the society wns brought into exi teuee. This purpose, in Mr. Fried- land r '~ opiuion, "·ns t lrn.t th Herzlia was to be the cultural rescrrnir from which the local Zioni ·t 'outh Executive \Yas to con- t imw1ly rlraw its workers ancl leaders.
During i lie discusHions l\lr. L. Phillip., th pr sent 1lrninn<lll, poiulecl out that the Herzlin owed n cleep debt of gratitude to .\fr. Churlaff for re:cuing the Herzlin iu 1935 when it wa. practicallv defunct. It wa.· obviou , he continued, that the policy
THE S.A. JEWISH CHR.ONtCLP...
had been f'banged, but he society was placed on its feet again; until 18 month ago the whole executive except one mem- ber, consisted of Herzlia members. Thi fact alone ,,·as sufficient evidence that th new policy initiated by Mr. Charlaff had succeeded in the manner in which Mr.
l~'ri dl::mder ugge ·ted it had failed. After further cliscm; ion in which Adv. Scbach, ..\Ir. Jack Bobro,·, :Jfr:::;. :J1ai:;el, ::.\Ii. Yo1ks and fr. Katovsk, participated, Mr. Fried- lander replied .
