The program of the League of Zionist Revisionists, the oppositional group within the World Zionist Organization, headed by Vladimir Jabotinsky, was endorsed by the national executive committee of the Order Sons of Zion, a constituent organization of the Zionist Organization of America, at the last meeting of the committee.

A resolution endorsing the program of the Zionist Revisionists was adopted by the Executive Committee, following two sessions, at which Mr. Jabotinsky addressed the members, reporting on the present situation in the Zionist movement and in Palestine.

The resolution read: “Resolved that the Executive Committee of the Order Sons of Zion endorse the principle of the League of Zionist Revisionists and the Nasi appoint a committee of five to work out the plans of propaganda for that purpose.”

It was declared that before this action was taken the members of the Executive Committee of the Order emphasized the fact that the Zionist Revisionist group is not a separate party but a tendency within the movement and the endorsement of its program does not fend to lessen the unity and strength of the movement.

Mr. Jabotinsky, whose departure for Palestine was scheduled to take place on April 10, was prevailed upon by the members of the Executive Committee of the Order to prolong his stay in the United States in order to head the contemplated campaign.

JABOTINSKY FAREWELL DINNER POSTPONED

The farewell banquet in honor of Vladimir Jabotinsky, which was scheduled to take place on April 7, at the Town Hall Club, under the auspices of a committee of New York writers and Zionist friends of Mr. Jabotinsky, will be postponed in view of the fact that the Executive Committee of the Order Sons of Zion have prevailed upon Mr. Jabotinsky to prolong his stay in the United States.

A formal announcement of the Committee and the date on which the banquet will take place is expected.
