The convening of a world Jewish congress in the summer of 1934 was unanimously approved last night by a sub-committee appointed to deal with this question.
No sessions of the plenum were held yesterday. The day was spent by the Commissioners in camera in an effort to co-ordinate a variety of views and demands prevalent among the delegates to the conference.
The question of including Palestine as one of the problems within the scope of the projected congress continued to form one of the principal topics of discussion.
Deliberations were concentrated on an effort to find a suitable form to include Palestine in the agenda of the congress which would be satisfactory to the non-Zionists who fear that Palestine problems will dominate the Congress.
On the other hand the Zionists are anxious to prevent any misunderstanding which may lead to the mistaken belief that the Congress is seeking to replace established Zionist institutions.
