The Et Libnoth group in the Polish Zionist Federation, which until the recent capture of the Federation by the Al Hamishmar group led by Deputy Gruenbaum, the present President of the Federation, was the majority Party in the Federation, of which one of its leaders, Mr. Leon Levite, was President and which was at one time the mainstay of Dr. Weizmann’s policy in the Polish Zionist movement, has informed the Jewish Telegraphic Agency to-day that it has decided not to take part in the forthcoming Conference of the Polish Zionist Federation.
It was the Et Libnoth which asked the Polish Zionist Federation to postpone its Conference which had been fixed for December 10th., in order to enable the Polish Revisionists, whose Conference has just been held, to decide whether they would take part in the Conference. The Polish Zionist Federation accordingly postponed the Conference till January 31st. The Et Libnoth appealed to the Revisionists to remain in the Zionist Federation, but without success, and since in that case the Federation remains representative of only a minority of Polish Zionists, it has decided now itself to take no part in the Conference.
