A vote of confidence in the present administration of the Zionist Organization of America was adopted by the Washington Zionist District at a meeting held here last night.

The resolution adopted stated: “Whereas many of the members of the Washington Zionist District have had the opportunity of personally hearing the charges made by the opposition against the present administration of the Zionist organization of America, and after careful consideration of the charges and replies made thereto, which have appeared in print.

“It is hereby resolved that we, the Washington Zionist District, at a general meeting held Monday. May 28. 1928. declared that in our opinion the said charges are unwarranted and unfounded and the methods of the opposition are highly detrimental to the Zionist movement.

“We hereby further express our Implicit confidence in the American and world Zionist administration, headed by Dr. Chaim Weizmann and Louis Lipsky. Be it further resolved that we condemn the improper action of the opposition in having convened their conference in this city during the progress of the local United Palestine Appeal campaign, after we had specifically requested them in advance not to hold their conference here at that time.”

A motion was also adopted that all delegates of the district must vote, in pursuance to the foregoing resolution, by a unit vote in accordance with the vote of the majority of the delegation.
