A deadlock, in the negotiations between the Agudath Israel, the orthodox Jewish World organization and the Zionist Organization with regard to finding a method of cooperation between the two organizations was reported by Dr. Pinchas Kohn, president of the Agudah, at the annual conference of the Central Council which was held here.
Delegates from Palestine, Germany, Holland, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Austria, Switzerland and Belgium were present.
Dr. Kohn charged the Zionist Organization with taking a negative attitude toward the proposals of the Agudah made in November, 1925. “The new immigration ordinance of the Palestine government renders unnecessary the agreement with the Zionist Organization concerning the certificates of entry. It is also impossible to reach an agreement with the Zionists concerning the Palestine communities ordinance,” Dr. Kohn reported.
“The Agudah intervened with the League of Nations against the calendar reform, against the violation of the rights of Orthodoxy in Palestine. It has entered into contact with the Jewish World Relief Conference, the Joint Distribution Committee and other organization,” Dr. Kohn stated.
