An agreement to include the Mizrachi, the Orthodox Zionist organization, in the United Palestine Appeal this year following the example of the previous two years has been reached, it was announced at the headquarters of the United Palestine Appeal yesterday. As a result of the decision taken at the Fifteenth Zionist Congress to curtail the Palestine budget, the Mizrachi had decided to start a campaign of its own in the United States for the amount of $500,000.
The differences have been adjusted through negotiations conducted between the Mizrachi leaders and the leaders of the United Palestine Appeal. The Mizrachi campaign will be abandoned and the delegation of Mizrachi leaders, consisting of Rabbi Meyer Berlin, Rabbi J. L. Fishman of Jerusalem, Rabbi Benzion Uziel, Chief Rabbi of Jaffa and Herman Struck of Germany, who arrived yesterday on the Olympic, will cooperate in the United Palestine Appeal.
