The result of the new elections to the Berlin Kehillah, where the liberal majority was broken and a greater number of Zionist delegates were elected, may affect the policy of the Jewish Colonization Association (Ica).

With the election of a larger number of Zionist delegates, the possibility arises for the first time that a Zionist may be delegated as the representative of the Kehillah on the Ica council.
