Zionist Revisionists, affiliated with the League headed by Vladimir Jabotinsky, continued their deliberations on the second day of the conference in session here.
Richard Lichtheim, former member of the Zionist Executive, who recently joined the League, at yesterday’s session criticized the policy of the present Zionist Executive for “extending the Jewish Agency on the basis of a fifty-fifty proposition with the non-Zionists.”
If the new group has agreed to the Zionist program, then they must be considered Zionists. If not, let them form a separate body, he stated.
Vladimir Jabotinsky blamed the policy of the Palestine government as the chief cause for the present economic crisis. The agrarian, industrial and political policy has failed. “Dr. Weizmann’s statement in America that everything is well in Palestine should be formally refuted,” he stated. Mr. Jabotinsky termed the policy of the Zionist Executive opportunist and stated that it was not endeavoring to defend the just demands of the Jews in Palestine. It is necessary to appeal to English public opinion, which is uninformed of the real state of affairs in Palestine, he stated.
Mr. Grossman stated that the Zionist organization has assumed in Palestine functions which are the obligations of the state. The Zionist Organization must gradually transfer the education and health budgets to the Palestine, government.
