Washington Hadassah Goes on Record Against Opposition Conference

(Jewish Daily Bulletin)

The Washington chapter of Hadassah, the women’s Zionist organization, unanimously went on record at a general meeting held Tuesday night as being opposed to the action of the National Board of Hadassah, which voted “no confidence” in the present Zionist administration at a conference held in New York on Sunday.

A resolution endorsing the Weizmann-Lipsky leadership was unanimously adopted. “The charge that the administration has been inefficient,” the resolution states, “is refuted by the report of Samuel Rosensohn presented some time ago to the Zionist Organization, in which he stated: ‘We found the organization operating at the minimum expense for the activities it was condacting. There was no waste in the operation of the organization proper.’

“The charge that the American leadership is a self-perpetmating body is refuted by the constitution and the free democratic rights guaranteed by the annual convention. The charge that the formation of the Jewish Agency is undesirable is refused by the well established concensus of Zionist opinion to the contrary, as evidenced by the action of the world Zionist Congress,” the resolution ##. “The charge that the policy of the world leadership toward England is ineffective is refused by the established successful mode of international procedure, which is the only course consenant with Zionist dignity.”

The resolution voices objection to the oppositional conference to be held here on Sunday.

“The Washington chapter of Hadassah.” the resolution concludes, “places its full confidence and faith in the leadership of Dr. Weizmann and Mr. Lipsky and deplores any steps taken that will have a deleverious effect on the United Palestine Appeal campaigns and that should be disposed of at the proper time and place, namely the annual Zionist convention and the World Zionist Congress.”
