The central committee of the Polish Zionist Revisionist party has resigned in a dispute with the executive committee of the World Zionist Revisionist Organization which has been meeting here in its sixth world conference.

A majority of the delegates, from countries other than Palestine, expressed themselves in favor of agreements in Palestine on labor questions which would remove much of the friction existing between the Revisionists and other Zionist factions. The Palestine delegation to the conference, with its majority of extremist Revisionists, heatedly opposed the agreements, contending that Vladimir Jabotinsky, world leader of the movement had been misinformed about the activities of the Palestine Revisionists.

JABOTINSKY RETURNS

Jabotinsky, who left the conference in protest earlier in the week when the extremist faction of the party proposed complete separation from the World Zionist Organization and formation of a new World Zionist Congress, returned to the platform yesterday to denounce the transfer agreements by which German Jews are permitted to take the equivalent of their holdings in the Reich to Palestine in the form of German goods.

Discussing Jewish measures of economic defense, he declared that the bankruptcy of Nazi Germany cannot be avoided for long.

In a talk at the Tel Hai conference, Jabotinsky declared that the Tel Hai fund was not in competition with the general Zionist funds but that the campaign was solely to raise funds for Revisionist activity.

Jabotinsky is to sail from Cherbourg for the United States on January 16.
