Continued opposition to the plan for extending the Jewish Agency to include Zionists and non-Zionists was reaffirmed by the group of radical Zionists who met in session here.

The conference of the Al Ha’mish##ar group, presided over by Abraham Podlischewski, was attended by 124 delegates, coming from 72 towns in Poland. Deputy Issac Gruenbaum, leader of the group, in his opening address pointed to the victory the Zionists had obtained during the last parliamentary elections in Poland. The Al Ha’mishmar group, he stated, was for a constructive Palestine work program, but continued its opposition to the extension of the Jewish Agency.

Dr. Nahum Goldman, leader of the Radical Zionists in Germany, reported on the present situation in Palestine and sharply criticised the policies of Harry Sacher, a member of the Jerusalem Executive, and Dr. Chaim Weizmann.
