Revisionist Relations with Zionist World Organisation: Demands of Palestine Revisionists for Leaving

The Executive Committee of the World Union of Zionist Revisionists at a recent meeting had under consideration the resolutions of the recent Revisionist Conference in Palestine, calling upon the Executive Committee to take a series of steps in the sphere of Zionist internal and external policy, says a statement issued here by the Revisionist World Executive Committee.

In this connection, it says, the following decisions have been arrived at by the Executive Committee.

The question of the recall of the Revisionist representatives on the Actions committee was put to the members of the Party Council some time ago, and resulted in an overwhelming majority against the proposal. The Executive Committee therefore considers itself bound by this expression of opinion on the part of the Party Council. The Revisionist World Conference in Prague, August 1930, and the session of the Party Council in Berlin of December 1930, unanimously decided that the Revisionist World Union should participate in the 17th. Ordinary Zionist Congress, and conduct the election campaign with all possible energy. All proposals contrary to these decisions, such as convocation of a separate Congress, must therefore be regarded as so ipso unacceptable.

The Statute of the Congress and the Statute of the Congress Court provide no legal possibility, formally, to put on trial the Zionist Executive and its President who has resigned. The Executive Committee is, however, resolved to take advantage of the proceedings of the Congress Court in connection with the case against Mr. Grossman, initiated by the Zionist Executive, to reveal the harmful nature of the political activity of the Zionist Executive and Dr. Weizmann.

The Executive Committee has, following the publication of Mr. Ramsay LacDonald’s letter and the subsequent Statement by Dr. Weizmann, decided to present a definitive demand to the Zionist Executive which has, despite its own assurances, conducted the negotiations with the British Government on the basis of the White Paper of October 1930, and which no longer enjoys the confidence of the Zionist Movement that it should, pending the election of a new Executive, carry on no further negotiations with the Mandatory Power. Should this demand be rejected, the Executive Committee has decided to call upon the Jewish masses in all countries to protest publicly against the negotiations which are being or are to be carried on in London by Dr. Weizmann and his colleagues.
