A total of 67,489 Revisionists in 325 cities in Poland voted for the establishment of an Independent Zionist Organization, while 1,231 voted against it, according to latest returns of the Revisionist plebiscite, received today by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency from Warsaw.
Open war against the World Zionist Organization was declared yesterday by Vladimir Jabotinsky, leader of the Revisionists, in an address before a large meeting in Vienna.
“The Zionist Organization has no monopoly to represent world Jewry,” he declared. “Article 4 of the Mandate definitely provides also for other groups interested in Palestine.”
Mr. Jabotinsky announced that the Independent Zionist Organization which he will now establish in competition with the World Zionist Organization will permit every Jew to vote, provided he recognizes the principle of a Jewish State.
