The union of forces in American Zionism that was brought about at the thirty-third annual convention of the Zionist Organization of America at Cleveland last week was hailed with satisfaction by Dr. Chaim Weizmann, president of the World Zionist Organization, in a cablegram sent from London to Louis Lipsky, former president of the Zionist Organization of America. In the cablegram, Dr. Weizmann declares that the new alliance will mean much in the solving of the present difficulties in which Zionism finds itself. His cablegram reads as follows:
“I am delighted by the results of the thirty-third annual convention of the Zionist Organization of America. I congratulate you and all your friends on reaching an eminently satisfactory settlement of the situation in which American Zionism found itself. The Cleveland Convention rose splendidly to the situation. I hope that the new alliance will prove most helpful in coping with our present anxieties in Palestine.”
