The Histadruth platform for the Asefat Hanivcharim elections proclaims its unity with the Jewish Agency on all questions fundamentally affecting the realization of Zionism. The Revisionists’ program concentrates on an attack against the leadership of Jewish groups which it holds responsible for “the political failure and bankrupting economic policy.”
The election fight will center chiefly around the Revisionists who are trying to draw into their ranks all classes, including the Orthodox Jews and some dissatisfied members of the Histadruth.
