The World Zionist Congress will be convened in Prague on August 16, the Zionist Executive announced today. Although the date of the congress had been fixed some time ago, the site for the affair constituted a difficulty which has now been overcome.
The congress is expected to be one of the largest in the history of the Zionist movement and more than three times as many delegates are expected as attended the Seventeenth Congress two years ago at Basle.
Palestine’s representation will be increased from 39 to 48. Central Poland will have 90 delegates as compared to 33 at the last Congress. West Galicia is sending 40 instead of eleven representatives. The full list of delegates has not yet been published.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
