The London branch of the Agudath Israel, Orthodox world organization, which has consistently opposed the Zionist Organization, decided to participate in the Jewish Agency conference to be held here on April 21 to indicate British Jewry’s desire to cooperate, in the extended Jewish Agency for the rebuilding of Palestine.
Two delegates to the conference will be sent by the Agudath Israel. The condition for the Agudah’s participation was put forward as being that the Jewish Agency confine its activities to purely political and economic questions. It was stated here that the London branch’s acceptance of the invitation to the conference was made on instructions from the head office of the Agudath Israel in Frankfort.
