The Revisionist delegation at the forthcoming Zionist Congress should press for a proclamation by that Congress that the ultimate aim of Zionism is the establishment of a free and self-governing Jewish Commonwealth secured by a Jewish majority on both sides of the Jordan, to be attained by peaceful and ordered work of colonisation, without displacement of the native population and without prejudice to their civil rights. This is one of the resolutions adopted by the Second Annual Conference of the Union of Zionist Revisionists in Great Britain, which was concluded here last night. This Conference, another resolution reads, endorses the action of the Executive Committee of the World Union taken with the object of preventing the Zionist. Executive binding the Zionist movement to any engagement with the British Government, pending the meeting of the Seventeenth Zionist Congress. This Conference, it is further said, condemns emphatically the use that has been made of the official Zionist journal “Haolom” for party purposes, and particularly for anti-Revisionist propaganda.
The Conference, which was attended by about 45 delegates from all parts of the country, was opened by Dr. Schwartzman. The Rev. Dr. A. Cohen, of Birmingham, was elected President for the ensuing year, and presided over the rest of the proceedings, He had come to Revisionism after very careful consideration, Dr. Cohen said, and with full knowledge of what was going on. Once the facts were known, he was convinced that there would be a great growth of Revisionism.
Mr. M. Grossman, in drawing attention to the setbacks suffered by the Zionist movement in recent years, contended that they showed that the initiative was all with the Government and with the Arabs, who had always forced the moves taken by the Jewish Agency.
Mr. Abrahams said that there were two sections of Arabs – those who were anti-Jewish and anti-British and those who were only anti-British. The British Government had decided for those Arabs who were only anti-Jewish, and these were now being appointed to all official posts.
