before that day, praying for raising compassion in people to every living
being.

Baker, that the Congress made a call to every vegetarian society to
use every kind of scientific and economic arguments on behalf of a more
extensive, rational and natural development in world's agriculture,
in order to increase the production of vegetable foods to the maximum
and that these ones be healthier.

Among the many distinguished visitors attending . . . President of the
Jewish Vegetarian Society Philip Pick, . . .
 from
a Congress Report
VEGETARIAN Essence in Comparative Religions was the subject of a working
party headed by Philip Pick, President of the Jewish Vegetarian Society.
Among their findings . . . "Vegetarian propaganda of a general
nature, however efficient, appears to affect only that proportion of
the population that is totally uncommitted; the remainder, in their
traditional beliefs, consider that this must compromise all that is
required of them in the way of ethics." Among their recommendations
. . . a campaign directed to religious leaders, and research to be carried
out to support the original doctrines embracing vegetarianism.

Middle East: The report from Mr Pick indicated that, apart from in Israel,
there is a lack of vegetarian achievement in the region. There was a
possibility of some progress in Egypt soon and the way in which animals
are treated there makes such development very desirable.
In Israel interest in vegetarianism is growing and the Israeli Vegetarian
Union has recently become a member of I.V.U. There are three vegetarian
orientated magazines and the Jewish Vegetarian Society is working to
set up a Vegetarian Naturopathic College
