the Palestine government, Mr. Ben-Zvi declared that the government is not fulfilling its obligation toward the Yeshub as far as subsidizing Jewish institutions is concerned.
“Our social requirements have heavily increased,” the speaker said. “The Yeshub is eagerly contributing toward them, but this is not enough, because the government is not carrying out its obligations toward the Jewish population in proportion with the growth of its needs.”
PROF. BRODETSKY REPORTS
Addressing the session of the Actions Committee, Prof. Selig Brodetsky, member of the Zionist Executive, reported that the special committee set up by the Zionist organization for studying the political problems of the movement is in complete agreement with the program and method of the Zionist Executive. The fundamental political issue is Palestine immigration difficulties, Prof. Brodetsky stated.
Prof. Brodetsky warned that the question of establishing a legislative council in Palestine has been postponed but has not disappeared.
Referring to the petition which the Revisionists sent to the Mandate Commission in Geneva, Prof. Brodetsky demanded once and for all strict discipline in the Zionist organization “in order to prevent the dangerous activities in which one section of the Zionist organization is engaged.”
