A demand to Hebraize the World Zionist Congress which will be held in Prague next month was cabled last night by the Central Zionist Committee in Poland to the Zionist Executive in London. The cable also urged that the Congress bulletins be issued in Hebrew and pointed out that it is high time that the use of German be eliminated by the Congress, especially in view of the Hitler Jewish policies current in Germany.
Sessions of the World Zionist Congress and Congress publications have customarily used the German language.
