The immediate convocation of the Assefath Hanivcharim, the Palestine Elected Assembly, is demanded by fifteen Revisionist members of the Assembly, for the purpose of protesting against “the dictatorship” exercised by the Vaad Leumi, the executive organ of the Assembly, in assisting Mr. French, the Director of Palestine Development, and co-operating in the census, which they contend is paving the way for a Palestine Legislature, and indirectly conniving at the establishment of a Pan-Islamic centre in Jerusalem.
