Following the conference of the Revisionist Party at Kattowitz, Vladimir Jabotinsky, President of the World Union of Zionist Revisionists, informed the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that he had suspended the Revisionist Executive and had personally taken over control of the Party, appointing a temporary Secretariat with offices at Warsaw.
Vladimir Jabotinsky has also agreed to the Revisionist Shekel-Payers participating in the Congress elections under separate “Jabotinsky lists” in order to differentiate them from what he regards as the dissident section of the Revisionist Union.
Jabotinsky’s decision followed a heated all-night debate regarding Revisionist discipline in relation to the Zionist movement, and the refusal of other leading Revisionists to accept his proposal for the co-option of three persons holding his views on the Revisionist Executive.
In a special appeal issued by Jabotinsky following the conclusion of the Kattowitz conference, he appeals for the support of the whole Revisionist world, particularly of the Brith Trumpeldor.
