A call to all sections of the Zionist Organization of the world to participate in a world Jewish congress which may possibly be held during the coming summer, is sounded in a resolution adopted by the Actions Committee of the Zionist World Organization which has just been made public. The resolution was adopted during its recent session here.
The resolution reads as follows:
“In the face of increasing menacing situation of the Jewish people in the countries of the Diaspora, and the growing danger of a withdrawal of rights from a large section of people, both in respect of their equality of citizenship and their national minority rights the Zionist Actions Committee regards it as imperative to close the ranks of the Jewish people in a common fight for its political right to live, and its economic possibilities of existence, and to constitute a legitimate totalitarian representation of the people, constituted on a democratic basis.
“The Actions Committee recalls the positive stand taken by the Zionist movement for years past in various Congress resolutions in respect to the idea of Jewish World Congress.
“The Actions Committee places on record the declaration of the head of the committee of Jewish Delegations that a conference will be called this summer, which will deal with the problem of the fight for the Jewish right to live in the countries of the Diaspora, and appoint bodies to direct the political Diaspora work.
“The Actions Committee recommends all sections of the Zionist movement to take part in this conference.”
