Meir Grossman, chairman of the world executive of the Revisionist Party, is now forming a caretaker executive for the Israeli Revisionist Party following the resignation during the week-end of its chairman, Dr. Arieh Altman, and six other members of the executive. The resignations climaxed a discussion within the executive on the results of the Israeli elections and the future policy of the party.

Grossman’s new body, which he is forming under powers given him by the last [international ^Revisionist conference in Paris, will be established on the following temporary program: The continued independent existence of the Revisionist Party here and abroad; and, that until the next World Revisionist Conference in June, there shall no negotiations with the Heruth or any other party.

Meanwhile, Grossman has cabled the various Revisionist headquarters throughout the world and asked for their confidence and assistance in keeping “intact the inheritance” of Vladimir Jabotinsky, founder of the Party.
