An extraordinary session of the Central Committee of General Zionists in Palestine adopted a resolution today against the contemplated change of the text of the Shekel, which entitles Zionist members to vote for delegates to the forthcoming World Zionist Congress.
“The Zionist Executive must retain the old text if it wishes to keep integrity within the Zionist movement,” the resolution says.
The resolution emphasizes at the same time that the General Zionists are in a measure opposing the attitude of the Revisionists in not submitting to the internal discipline of the Zionist Organization.
The proposed change in the text of the Shekel was decided upon by the Zionist Executive in London without inquiring of the different Zionist groups as to whether such changes should be introduced. It is pointed out that the change in the text, if made, will make it impossible for the Zionist Revisionists to participate in the next Congress.
