Zionist organization, the Zionist Executive will have to take measures to end the abnormal situation which enables the Revisionists to enjoy rights without fulfilling obligations.

“After the defeat of the Revisionist petition which was submitted to the Mandates Commission of the League of Nations in Geneva—a defeat which could have been foreseen—this step of the Zionist Executive is even more imperative than before. No Revisionist threat to violate peace will affect our determination to strengthen the political authority of the Zionist organization and its inner cohesion.

“If Jabotinsky has changed his mind and if he is anxious to participate in the next Zionist Congress, the way is open, provided that the Revisionists accept—as all other Zionists—equality in rights and obligations, as well as unconditional membership and authority of the Zionist organization.”

STATE PARTY DENIES REPORT OF NEGOTIATIONS

The American headquarters of the Jewish State Party, formerly a part of the Revisionist Party, yesterday denied reports that they had entered upon negotiations with the Revisionists looking toward a re-union.

“We are not negotiating and have not negotiated for any peace agreement with the Revisionists because we were not engaged in any war with them,” the statement says. “Negotiations between these two organizations are unthinkable before the Revisionists disassociate themselves completely from their discipline-breaking activities and recognize the sovereignty and political prerogatives of the Zionist Congress,” the statement declares.
