A strong plea for the support of Yiddish education and culture by the world Zionist movement was made here today at the meeting of the Zionist Actions Committee by Meyer L. Brown, leader of the American Labor Zionist movement. He lauded the Yiddish press, without which, he said, Zionism would “cease to be a mass movement. “
Louis Segal, member of the Jewish Agency executive, told the Actions Committee that more funds are needed for Zionist work on behalf of Jewish education. He said that such activity by the Zionist movement is necessary “for the State of Israel and for Jewish survival. ” Mr. Segal also supported the proposal previously made by Dr. Nahum Goldmann to admit non-Zionists into the Jewish Agency. He took issue with Mizrachi representatives for resisting that proposal.
