Denying that the Zionist-Revisionist movement is anti-Labor. Benjamin Akzin and Eliahu Ben-Horin, two leaders of the New Zionist Organization (Revisionist) in the United States and members of the world executive of that organization, have published an article in the current issue of the “Zionews.” official NZO organ, favoring a revision of the social-economic views held by the Zionist-Revisionist movement.
The two Revisionist leaders claim that the world Zionist movement has already accepted the major part of Vladimir Jabotinsky’s political program on which Revisionism was based. They suggest, therefore, that the Revisionist movement should endorse the policy of a predominantly socialistic or cooperative upbuilding of Palestine, emphasizing that “this would create a basis for a close rapprochement between the Palestine Labor Party and the New Zionist Organization.”
Pointing out that the changes caused by the war in the Jewish situation in Europe and in the general political scene would favor a predominantly socialistic colonization in Palestine, the article in the Revisionist organ says that the complete ruination of European Jewry eliminated the source for capitalistic immigration. From an international political viewpoint, “our best hope of outside support lies in those socially-oriented forces in Europe and Asia which are generally expected to play a most important part in the postwar world,” the article states.
