The second annual conference of the Palestine Group B General Zionists decided today to initiate negotiations immediately with the Group A and with the Jewish State Party seeking unification.
The resolution was adopted after the 200 delegates had heard speakers, including Joshua Suprasski, Emil Shmorak, Menachem M. Ussishkin and David Yellin, urge a fight against defeatism and call for unity in the Zionist ranks.
Another resolution declared that the present Jewish Agency Executive was to a great extent responsible for Zionist political failures and therefore a change of members and of system was necessary. The conference protested against the Palestine land restriction ordinance.
A resolution was adopted calling for maintenance of 100 per cent Jewish labor in all enterprises, prohibition of strikes and lockouts, establishment of neutral labor exchanges and compulsory arbitration of labor disputes.
