The Actions Committee is not justified in giving any directions for the continuance of the negotiations with the Government, having in view the fact that the political Commission has not been placed in possession of sufficient material, Mr. Grossman, in the name of the Revisionist World Union said at the close of the recent Actions Committee meeting in London, according to a statement issued to-day by the Revisionist head office here, in view, it says, of the dearth of information regarding ris meeting of the Actions Committee. On the contrary, he continued, this Commission has been allowed only to listen to extracts from documents without studying the actual documents, the minutes of the negotiations, the memoranda of the Zionist Executive or any other relevant material. As heretofore, he said, we deny to the Zionist Executive and to the Political Commission, every right to carry on negotiations with the British Government in the name of the Zionist Organisation.
In the present circumstances, he proceeded, and having regard for the above mentioned facts, the World Union of Zionist-Revisionists is compelled to continue, with all intensity, its opposition to the present Executive and the parties supporting it. It also regards it as its primary duty fully to acquaint the Jewish public with these facts.
The Revisionists, he concluded, will, indeed, as ever, support the campaign for the collection of funds, that the work in Palestine may be saved. Nevertheless, the Revisionists are compelled to declare that they have no belief that the present situation can produce the necessary enthusiasm indispensable to the success of the campaigns. It is also doubtful whether the collected monies can be entrusted to the present machinery.
The Revisionist Union, Mr. Grossman further said, holds that the Actions Committee has no moral right to effect the further postponement of Congress, as there are no financial, political or organisational grounds justifying such a postponement. The Revisionists regard the postponement as an inner-political manoeuvre, directed towards delay the Congress until a time more favourable for the present Executive.
