The sensational news that the Mizrachi, the orthodox wing of the Zionist Organization, has decided to form a united bloc with the orthodox Zionist organization, Agudath Israel, for the coming Kehillah elections in Poland, was published in today’s Warsaw Yiddish newspaper Unzer Express. The paper declares that the planned combination of these two orthodox parties is a result of the Mizrachists’ indignation caused by the fact that their leader, Heschl Farbstein, did not receive the second mandate of the elected Zionist deputies to the new Polish Sejm, contrary to an agreement with the Zionist Organization at the election campaign.
The report in Unzer Express states that the election bloc between the Mizrachists and the Agudath Israel is contemplated to be put into effect in all the cities of Poland. Mr. Farbstein visited for that purpose the famous Polish Gerer and Alexandrover rabbis but no official reply has been received from the rabbis until now.
