The Emergency Committee for Zionist Affairs of the Zionist Organization of America has adopted a resolution expressing grief at the death of Vladimir Jabotinsky, it was announced today. The resolution said that the passing of Jabotinsky, one of the outstanding figures in the history of the Zionist movement, constituted an irreparable loss to the Zionist cause and the Jewish people.

A similar resolution was adopted by Hadassah at a regular meeting of its summer executive committee. “Although in recent years Mr. Jabotinsky was not in agreement with the World Zionist Organization on the methods of attaining our common goal, his sincerity and unstinting devotion to the Zionist cause won the respect of his opponents as well as his thousands of friends,” the resolution said.
