The fight between Vladimir Jabotinsky, leader of the Revisionist Party, and extremists in the Revisionist ranks took a further step today during the general debate at the sixth Revisionist World Conference now in session here.
In speeches before the conference, extremist delegates declare that arrangements for peace with the World Zionist Organization can be accepted only on the basis of the Revisionist program. “Anything else,” their spokesman asserted, “is Utopian, and will lead to a continuation of the quarrel now going on between the Revisionists and the Zionist Executive.” The extremists also demanded that the Revisionist Organization should not participate in the forthcoming world Zionist Congress and should, instead, proclaim an independent Zionist Congress.
Delegates adhering to Jabotinsky’s policy during the general debate strongly attacked the extremist demands, pointing out that isolation of the Revisionist Party from the general Zionist movement is inadvisable. They emphasized the fact that the Zionist movement must not be split in view of expected developments in Palestine.
The conference today sent cables to Marshal Pilsudski and to the Polish President Mosciski, greeting the two heads of the Polish Republic.
