The resolution adopted by American Zionists at the conference at the Hotel Biltmore in New York last year asking that Palestine be established as a Jewish Commonwealth, was today unanimously endorsed by the Zionist Advisory Council here which represents the entire Zionist movement throughout the Union.
The Council decided to erect a large assembly hall in Palestine spacious enough to accommodate the World Zionist Congresses. The building will be constructed on land purchased by the Jewish National Fund on Mount Scopus with funds supplied by South African Zionists. It will hear the name of M.M. Ussishkin, late head of the Jewish National Fund in Palestine.
