The Zionist Organization of Congress Poland in a statement issued today announced that it has taken steps to bring about a reconciliation with the oppositional organization, A1 Hamishmar.
The offer of peace was made on the following three conditions: 1. That al polemics concerning the extension of the Jewish Agency, middle class colonization and budget problems be discontinued, 2. An agreement for the unification of the Zionist Organizations in Poland into a single federation. 3. That the Gruenbaum group agrees to the formation of a joint fifty-fifty list to the forthcoming national conference scheduled to take place on March 31.
When interviewed by newspapermen, Deputy Gruenbaum, the leader of the Al Hamishmar group, declared that this proposal was not acceptable, as it meets only a small part of the opposition demands. The group, he stated, will offer a counter proposal. The negotiation, at any rate, it was declared, will remove the danger of a split within the Polish Zionist Organization.
