Several important resolutions were adopted at the eighth annual Seaboard Zionist Conference held here Sunday and yesterday. One of those passed stated that “the Seaboard Zionist Region hails the extended Jewish Agency and pledges its support to the Allied Jewish Campaign.”
The region also called upon all communities to help defray the overwhelming deficit of the Zionist Organization of America. The region was asked to put forth every effort in the interest of educating the American youth in Zionism.
The resolutions also called for more aggressive measures in cultural activities. The conference also pledged its support to interest more American Chalutzim to leave for Palestine. All Zionists and sympathizers of Palestine were urged to use whenever possible Palestinian products and thus enlarge the market of Palestine merchandise and products.
The Committee on Reorganization and Finance and Budget made a number of amendments to the constitution of the region which were unanimously adopted. It also urged the represented Communities and groups to raise a special maintenance fund for continuing Seaboard Zionist Region.
