...upon British statesmen-who know the strategic value of the land of Palestine quite apart from that of the people-the issue of whether a great deal more money should be spent at once to protect Palestine Jews was sharply raised in London by-hard-featured, scrubby-bearded Dr. Chaim Weizmann, shrewd president of the World Zionist Organization. After an interview with Minister of Colonies and Mandates Baron Passfield (famed in his former style as Economist Sidney Webb), Dr. Weizmann gave correspondents to understand that the Cabinet would continue sternest measures to restore peace in Palestine, and might even dismiss...
...They discussed a $15,000,000 Palestine finance corporation, approved a budget for the ensuing year of $3,750,000 for work, $5,000,000 for buying land. At the conclusion of the meeting Baron Edmond de Rothschild of France was elected honorary president of the Council, with Dr. Chaim Weizmann of London, main spring of Zionism, as real president. Two U. S. Jews were prominent...
...happy man last week was Chaim Weizmann, goateed London chemist, president of the World Zionist Organization. Fortnight ago, when 322 delegates gathered in Zurich for the 16th biennial Zionist congress, he was less happy.

The judges found that Louis Lipsky had been guilty of irregularities, excessions of authority, loose management and the like, as in the instance of endorsing...
This was Dr. Stephen Samuel Wise, Rabbi of the Free Synagogue (Manhattan) and ardent Zionist, who had had a disagreement with British Dr. Chaim Weizmann, president of the World Zionist Organization. The cause of the crack was to be found, at least partially, in Dr. Wise's eagerness to hurry the establishment of the Jewish Colony in Palestine as opposed to Dr. Weizmann's desire for less precipitous procedure. Dr. Weizmann is now in the U. S. to aid in securing...
