The national conference of Mapai, the Jewish Labor Party, concluded here today with a resolution calling for a “united Socialist front” of all Jewish workers and parties to rally to the defense of the Zionist movement and the attainment of Jewish aims, including free immigration of Jews to Palestine, unlimited opportunity for colonization and national independence in a Jewish state.
The conference also voted to participate in the non-cooperation program adopted by the Jewish National Council, and protested the continuing searches of Jewish settlements and the arrest of Jewish leaders and the detention of thousands of men and women as well as the stripping of various colonies of their means of defense.
Another resolution charged that the British Government was planning to “do away with its international obligations to the Jewish people” as well as avoiding its responsibilities for Jewish rights as laid down in the Palestine Mandate. The conference expressed itself as disappointed at the attitude of the British Labor Party “which for many years had been the faithful ally of the Zionist movement.”
