The 21st biennial congress of the Zionist Federation of this country concluded here today after electing a new executive headed by Mateo Goldstein which includes all sections of the General Zionist movement. The congress was attended by 160 delegates representing 9,000 General Zionists in Argentina.

The parley urged the swift convocation of a world conference of General Zionists to help achieve party unity, especially in Israel, and deplored the resignations of Dr. Abba Hillel Silver and Dr. Emanuel Neumann from the American section of the Jewish Agency executive.

Other resolutions adopted by the congress urged the Argentine delegation to the United Nations General Assembly to support Israel’s application for membership in the world body and called for an expanded agricultural training and immigration to Israel program of General Zionist youth.
