The work of the Palestine pioneer movement in Soviet Russia will, in the future, not have a political character, according to a decision adopted by the Left Chalutz at a conference just concluded here. The Left wing of the pioneer movement decided to unite with the Right wing in Soviet Russia.

The present Palestine situation and the Jewish Agency were the center of discussion at the conference, which adopted a resolution declaring: “Although the Jewish Agency is the institution of the great bourgeoisie, nevertheless, it is desirable to participate in it. It is, however, necessary to adopt means to insure the position of the workingmen and collectivization methods in the colonization of Palestine.”
