Zionists in Mexico were urged today to “throw in every ounce of energy to help carry Israel’s staggering burdens” in an address delivered by Dr. Emanuel Neumann at a meeting held under the auspices of the Zionist organizations of Mexico.
Dr. Neumann charged at the same time that Israel’s economic difficulties, largely due to the tremendous immigration, have been aggravated by “the perpetuation of policies on the part of the goverment which tended to discourage private capital” as well as by “a policy which tends to weaken organized Zionism” in countries outside of Israel.
The re-shuffle of the Israel Cabinet and the appointment of a non-Socialist Minister for Trade and Industry cannot be considered as “sufficiently fer-reaching changes,” Dr. Neumann said. “One obvious lesson of the Cabinet crisis is the urgent need of a strong liberal center party such as could be provided by a union of all General Zionists in Israel,” he added. “General Zionists the world over must urge and demand the healing of the breach caused by the formation of the Progressive Party.”
