An appeal to Great Britain to fulfill its obligations to the Jewish people under the Balfour Declaration and the Palestine Mandate was contained in the political resolution of the constituent congress of the New Zionist Organization passed at its concluding session.
The resolution emphasized that the Jewish people have not forgotten that Great Britain gave them the Balfour Declaration. At the same time it declares, they regret that the Palestine government is now imposing difficulties in the way of the Jewish
development of the country. Jews are convinced, the resolution states, that the English nation is definitely for the creation of a Jewish State. The English people, however, it says, falsely believe that the Balfour Declaration and the Palestine Mandate are now being fulfilled.
Firm opposition to the proposed legislative council in Palestine was also voiced. The proposed council, says the resolution, would only develop Arab Jewish animosity.
