Deputy Isaac Gruenbaum has not returned to the leader ship of the Polish Zionist Federation, explaining at a confidential meeting of the Polish Zionist Conference that he intends transferring his home shortly from Warsaw to Paris, not only for political but also for family reasons. As an expression of its confidence in his policy, Deputy Gruenbaum was elected, however, as Honorary President of the Polish Zionist Federation. Dr. Mayer Klumel, who has been closely associated with Deputy Gruenbaum in his Zionist work in Poland, will probably succeed him as President, and Deputy Gruenbaum’s seat in Parliament is expected to go to ex-Deputy Hartglass, who was Vice-President of the Club of Jewish Deputies when Deputy Gruenbaum was President, and afterwards succeeded him as President.
The Conference has adopted a resolution approving Deputy Gruenbaum’s political policy and recording its conviction that the Jewish position in Poland has grown worse and calling upon the Jewish Deputies to vote against the budget on the lines of Deputy Gruenbaum’s policy and not merely to abstain as they did on the vote of no confidence taken a fortnight ago.
The Et Livnoth Party in the Polish Zionist movement and also the independent group have dissolved in order to proceed to the consolidation of the Polish Zionist Organisation.
