The election of delegates to the forthcoming World Zionist Congress took place today in Bolivia. Of the 495 votes cast, the General Zionists received 296. Bolivia will therefore be represented by a General Zionist who will be the only delegate from that country. Surprise was expressed here over the fact that of the approximately 4,000 Jews living in Bolivia only 495 participated in the Zionist elections.
