The Zionist Council of New York has sent out the following circular letter:
The problem of Zionist propaganda in Greater N. Y. has been discussed by the Zionist Council some time ago, and the conclusion reached that in order to make the propaganda more effective it is necessary that it be controlled and regulated in some adequate manner. Much time and energy, for instance, could be saved to the societies as well as to the speakers by arranging joint propaganda meetings whenever possible; it is of still greater import-
ance that the entire propganda be carried on in accordance with a carefully arranged program; which shall outline the subjects of agitation among the various Jewish elements of the city for a given period, and which shall assign to each speaker such subjects as he can discuss best. The undersigned committee will endeavor to introduce some system into the existing chaotic condition, and trusts to be favored with the full hearted support of every Zionist society and every well-meaning Zionist speaker. What we ask of you now is to kindly fill out and return, at your very earliest convenience, the enclosed list of questions. These lists will form the basis for the further deliberations of the committee, and it is therefore important that the replies be made as complete and as carefully as possible.
With Zion's greetings,
Faithfully yours,
S. ABEL,
For the Propaganda Committee of the Council of G. N. Y.
