A demand for the immediate establishment of a Jewish State within the historic boundaries of Palestine was adopted at the Sixth Congress of the General Zionist party of France, which concluded here today.
The meeting also adopted a resolution demanding that the Jewish Agency be transformed into a Provisional Jewish Government. Other resolutions asked for the formation of a Jewish National Army in Palestine, the immediate opening or Palestine for Jewish mass-immigration under the sole control of the provisional Jewish Government which is to be recognized as the sole representative of the Jewish people at the peace conference. The delegates voted to appeal to the governments of the United States, Britain, France and the USSR asking them to support Jewish claims.
