The request of the White Russian and Ukrainian Ozets, societies for settling the Jews on the land, that the All-Soviet Ort, society for promoting technical trades and agriculture among the Jews, be liquidated and its activities be transferred to the Ozet, was rejected today by the Comzet, government department for settling the Jews on the land.
The rejection of these requests puts an end to the campaign against the Ort conducted by the Ozet leaders all of last year. By the terms of today’s Comzet decision the Ort will continue its work as in the past independent of the Ozet.
