Agency Council Administrative Committee should not in the future, be able to change any Congress decision unless 25 percent of the non-Zionist members be present in person, not voting by proxy as the fashion has been up to now.

THE GERMAN-JEWISH CRISIS

The German-Jewish question formed one of the principal topics of discussion in the meeting of the Actions Committee today and the committee agreed that the problem was so catastrophic in its proportions as to require immediate international assistance. The Zionist Congress will, therefore, concentrate on the formulation of a request to Great Britain and the League of Nations for a greatly enlarged Palestine immigration quota as well as for general political relief.

The committee also took up the subject of the Jewish world conference which will be devoted exclusively to the German-Jewish situation. The committee members felt that both these questions were of such vital importance that it was proposed to limit the Congress agenda already arranged in order to concentrate on the main problems.
