He was a founder and leader of the American Jewish Committee. From 1914 he was associated with Judge Louis D.BRANDEIS in the Zionist movement. He was elected president of the Zionist Organization of America in 1918 and was chairman of the Committee of Jewish Delegations at the 1919 Paris Peace Conference.
