A dispute between two Zionist factions in Brazil which had disrupted the national convention of the United Zionist Organization six months ago, has been settled at a meeting in Sao Paulo. Settlement of the dispute was marked by the election of new leaders to the so-called “Unificada” the leading body of the organization.
The differences between the two groups centered on a demand by the General Zionists that united fund raising activities in Brazil be separated from the United Zionist Organization itself. This demand was opposed by the Poale Zion and other Zionist groups. At the meeting in Sao Paulo, the General Zionists withdrew their proposal for a separate fund-raising group in this country.
