The merger of the world organizations of the Poale Zion and the Zeire Zion was decided upon here today at a joint conference of delegates from both organizations.
A program to be carried out under the unification plan was adopted.
Ben Gurion, Palestine labor leader declared that the course of events in recent times has already effected a unification which the world conference here merely sanctioned.
The unification plan was presented by the head of the Zeire Zion, Tartakower and calls for an intensification of Zionist and Socialist activity.
The program calls for an intensified campaign for the Jewish autonomy and the recognition of Hebrew and Yiddish as the two languages of the Jewish people in all countries of the world where they reside. Hebrew, the program says, must be recognized as the authoritative language of Palestine and Yiddish that of the Diaspora.
Official recognition of Jewish schools where the language of instruction is Hebrew or Yiddish, is to be sought in all lands.
Messages of greeting were received from the British Labor Party, the German, French and Belgian Socialist Parties, the Palestine Labor Federation, and the Palestine Foundation Fund.
