The establishment of farms in the United States for the training of Zionist pioneers was advocated in a resolution adopted at the tenth annual convention of the Zeire Zion. Other resolutions called for support of Dr. Chaim Weizmann, the coordination of Zionist work among all youth organizations, especially those of the Zeire Zion and Poale Zion and a union of the Zeire Zion and Poale Zion.

Most of the session was devoted to a political debate in which David Ben-Gurion, Joseph Baratz, Chaim Greenberg and others participated. Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver commended the Zeire Zion for the romanticism it has brought into Zionism with the chalutz movement. A. Spier, national secretary, read a report showing a slight increase in membership and a gain in activities, particularly in educational work, work for the Jewish National Fund and the Palestine workers campaign.
