The Palestine Revisionist Conference held at Tel Aviv has adopted a resolution endorsing the Calais Agreement concluded at the Calais meeting of the Executive Committee of the World Union of Zionist Revisionists last September, settling the differences which had arisen in the Revisionist movement after the Seventeenth Zionist Congress, but at the same time urging the Revisionist World Executive to carry on an independent Zionist policy.

The moderates at the Conference are dissatisfied with the wording of the resolution, and have in consequence refused to join the new Executive of the Palestine Revisionist Organisation, which therefore consists now only of extremists. The seat of the Executive has been transferred to Jerusalem, and Mr. Achimeir has been appointed the new leader of the Palestine Revisionists.

Post of the resolutions have been passed by the Conference unanimously, in the spirit of Mr. Jabotinsky’s letter read out to the meeting (reported in the J.T.A. Bulletin of the 25th. inst.).

In view of reports appearing in the foreign press (the Paris “Matin”, for instance) to the effect that there were clashes during the Conference, it is stated that no clashes occurred.

In Revisionist quarters it is pointed out in connection with Mr. Jabotinsky’s letter to the Conference that no decision demanding the replacement of Great Britain by another Power as Mandatory for Palestine has been adopted by the Revisionist World Executive Committee, the Party Council, or by any Revisionist World Conference.
