The official leadership of the Zionist World Organization is in no way associated with the Seventh Dominion League, recently created in London under the leadership of Col. Josiah Wedgwood to propagate the idea of Palestine’s eventually becoming the Seventh Dominion within the British Empire, after the twenty-five years period of the Palestine Mandate expires.

A statement to this effect was made public in the current issue of the “New Judea,” a fortnightly journal, organ of the Zionist Executive in London. The Zionist Executive cannot commit itself, without previously consulting the Zionist General Council and the Zionist Congress. The Executive must refrain from discussing the merits of the plan, not only because it is remote from reality, but also because every Zionist will recognize the impropriety of taking a definite attitude without mature consideration on a question which vitally affects the interests of the Zionist movement, or without consideration for the mandatory power and the League of Nations, both of whom have something to say on the matter, the Zionist organ states.
