The German Mizrachi Orgainisation elected at its conference held here to-day Dr. Oscar Wolfsberg, the leader of the secessionist movement, as its President and has given its sanction to the action taken by the German Mizrachi leaders in seceding from the World Mizrachi Organisation and proceeding to establish an independent Mizrachi Federation.
Even those delegates who opposed secession from the Mizrachi World Organisation, voted against the establishment of a new German Mizrachi Organisation inside the World Mizrachi Federation, decided upon by the Central Office of the World Mizrachi (given in the J.T.A. Bulletin of October 28th.).
The German Mizrachists expect the Dutch and Swiss Mizrachi to follow their example of seceding from the World Organisation, and joining the new Independent Mizrachi Federation.
