The leaders of the Zionist movement in Poland are now busy formulating a plan, agreeable to all, by which the non-Zionist representation from Poland on the extended Jewish Agency may be slated.
A committee of fifteen, appointed by the World Zionist Organization, was at work Sunday to bring about an agreement. Representatives of the varoius Zionist federations in Poland were invited to participate in the discussion of the plans which must be submitted to the World Zionist Executive at the latest by the beginning of February. Three proposals were said to be under discussion, which has not, however, ended.
In the evening a mass meeting was held, in which leaders of the movement in Congress Poland and Galicia participated. The meeting was of a stormy character because of the internal controversy which is no raging between the followers of Deputy Leon Reich of Lemberg and Deputy Isaac Gruenbaum of Warsaw. The meeting was disturbed principally by the opponents of Dr-Reich, although the representatives of the Congress Poland movement attempted to explain to the audience that there is a difference between the local policy and matters pertaining to the Zionist movement at large. Dr. Leon Reich, who was one of the speakers, met with an outbreak of protests.
A national conference of all Polish Zionists for the purpose of electing a national executive committee which is to unify the three Zionist Organizations in Congress Poland, Eastern Galicia and Western Galicia will be called for March 31.
