The Zionist Congress will not be held in February, as has been arranged, if the opinion held in Palestine on the subject prevails, the J.T.A. is informed. The Palestine members of the Actions Committee who held a meeting to-day, before going to London for the Actions Committee emergency meeting opening on Monday week were divided as to the advisability of the Congress. The Labour representatives declared themselves against holding the Congress in February. The Mizrachi members are divided among themselves, and the General Zionists are half-heartedly in favour. The representatives of the Left urged the postponement of the Actions Committee meeting until the completion of the negotiations with the Government, and the postponement of the Congress until after Passover, so that there should be no interference with the work of raising funds.
