A resolution demanding that Mr. Vladimir Jabotinsky, the leader of the Zionist Revisionist Party, should resume activities immediately and return to the direction of the Revisionist Organisation was adopted here last night at a meeting of the Zionist Revisionist Union in Paris.

The meeting decided to demand that Mr. Jabotinsky should cancel his leave of absence, which he decided to take immediately after the Zionist Congress was concluded in Basle. Mr. Jabotinsky decided to take leave of absence because no unanimity could be reached between him and other Revisionist leaders on the question as to whether the Revisionist Party should continue its work for the revival of the present Zionist Organisation or whether it should create a new Zionist Organisation. Feeling that it would not have been in accordance with the traditions of the Revisionist Party to decide such a crucial problem without unanimous consent, Mr. Jabotinsky proposed that the question should be left open for settlement until December, when the World Conference of the Revisionist Party will take place. He therefore took leave of absence until December, in order to allow the other leaders of the Revisionist Party to make preparations for the Party Conference without exercising his personal influence in one direction or another.
