Negotiations were started today between the Executive of the Jewish Agency and the Revisionist Executive in the hope of reaching an understanding with regard to immigration certificates for members of the Zionist Revisionist Party, in order to prevent the rebel party from undertaking direct negotiations with the Palestine government.
The Executive is represented at the negotiations by Isaac Gruenbaum, head of the immigration department. The Revisionists are represented by Dr. Hoffman, member of the World Revisionist Executive.
PACT TO BIND ALL UNITS
It was understood at the very beginning of the negotiations that whatever agreement reached will go into immediate effect and will be valid for all groups affiliated with the Revisionist movement, including the Brith Trumpeldor, {SPAN}###{/SPAN} Brith Hachail and the Revisionist Artisans Organization.
The Executive came to the negotiations with a concrete proposal. The Revisionists, after hearing the proposals as presented by Mr. Gruenbaum today, are now preparing counter proposals.
In the meantime, the Executive conceded the allocation of immigration certificates from the current labor schedule to members of the Revisionist Organization and to members of the Brith Trumpeldor, in accordance with the proportion of Revisionists in the Hachshara, training farms of agricultural workers for Palestine. The Zionist Executive has also conceded a point in recognizing the right of the Brith Trumpeldor to receive collective immigration certificates. The negotiations are being continued.
