This Conference of London Zionist Societies resolves to support the new Zionist Executive, and the President of the Zionist Organisation, Mr. Nahum Sokolov, in the tasks entrusted to them by the Zionist Congress, and calls upon all Zionists in Great Britain and Ireland to afford every assistance required in the establishment of the Jewish National Home, says a resolution adopted last night at a Conference of London Zionist Societies held to consider reports on the Seventeenth Congress.
This Conference, says another resolution, desires to express to Dr. Weizmann, the Honorary President of the Zionist Federation, its unabated confidence in him and the policy which he has pursued during his term of office as President of the Zionist Organisation, and to place on record its warm appreciation of his life-long and devoted services to the movement. This Conference resolves to convey to Dr. Weizmann its deep gratification at his acceptance of the invitation of South African Zionists to visit South Africa in the interests of the Keren Hayesod. In congratulating our Zionists in South Africa on the great distinction which is thus being conferred upon them. The Conference places on record the self-sacrificing act on the part of our Honorary President in subordinating all personal consideration in the interests of the cause.
This Conference, a third resolution says, calls upon all Zionist Societies in the British Isles to give their whole-hearted support to the present emergency campaign on behalf of Palestine, in order to avert the dangers inherent in the present economic crisis which menace our work in Palestine, and to help to redeem Palestine for the Jewish people.
