The creation of an Independent World Zionist Organization, parallel to the already existing World Zionist Organization, was urged today at a meeting of the Revisionist Organization in Paris.

The meeting approved the decision of the World Revisionist Executive not to participate in the nineteenth Zionist Congress which convenes in August.

Speakers at the meeting today charged that the recent session of the Zionist Actions Committee in Jerusalem has shown that certain elements in the Zionist Organization are definitely interested in splitting the Zionist movement, instead of uniting all factions.

The failure of the Histadruth in Palestine to ratify the peace agreement evolved by David Ben-Gurion and Vladimir Jabotinsky, was cited at the meeting as the best proof that the Laborites in Palestine do not wish any peace in the Zionist movement and are ready to disavow even their own leaders for making an effort in the direction of peace.
