Reviewing the progress that has taken place in the Jewish homeland, Louis Lipsky, president of the Zionist organization of America, told the opening session of the society's annual convention here today that "economic sobriety" had been substituted for "idealistic illusion" in Palestine. He declared the recent controversy in Zionist ranks over administrative authority had not affected the steady forward stride and that the situation in Pal estine had improved considerably over a year ago. The Zionist president deplored the situation wherein the "dollar" sign has perforce become the symbol which gilded the "flag of Zion" f-r the past number of years, obscurii. the Zionist traditions and ideals. "For the sake of Zion," he said." we measured our success by the financial support, by the amount con tributed, by the number of contrib utors. The Zionist became the greedy tax collector, and his services were tested by the money he could pro duce. The intangible form of de votion of previous years was replaced by a form of service that could be weighed and measured." FORESEE SCHOLASTIC RUIN Buffalo, N. Y., June 29.
