The general debate at the congress of the Zionist Revisionists, now in session here, was launched yesterday with criticism of what was called the weak policy of Revisionism by Dr. Wolfgang von Weisl.
He urged that Revisionism be made a movement representing the revolt of the masses. Revisionism, he asserted, has not adopted a sufficiently strong attitude toward England.
Dr. von Weisl also complained against what he called the “minimum achievements of Revisionism” in fields other than the political field.
The end of the afternoon session witnessed a stormy attack by the Palestine delegation against Robert Lichtheim of Germany.
The Palestine delegates demanded Lichtheim’s resignation from the Revisionist Executive as well as from membership in the Actions Committee of the World Zionist Organization. Lichtheim was defended by Meier Grossman and the German delegation.
