At least sixty-four per cent of the youths in Brith Trumpeldor are workers whose sympathies are with the laboring class, Vladimir Jabotinsky, head of the World Zionist Revsionist Organization, declared today before an enthusiastic gathering of 4,000 persons at the second annual Brith Trumpeldor conference.

Jabotinsky, whose talk was frequently interrupted by tremendous ovations, was reelected head of Brith Trumpeldor. He issued a virtual command to his followers to learn Hebrew when he said that Brith Trumpeldor will not admit delegates who are unable to speak the official language of the Jews in Palestine to its next conference.

250 AT WORLD PARLEY

Brith Trumpeldor adjourned its sessions today until Thursday to give its delegates an opportunity to attend the sixth Revisionist world conference, which opens here tonight with 250 representatives from Revisionist organizations in thirty-five countries. Many hundreds of guests also are arriving here from other countries to hear Jabotinsky’s opening address.

Sub-conferences, which are to take place simultaneously with the above – named gatherings, are scheduled for various dates between now and January 16 by the following organizations:

Brith Hachail — the Jewish Reservists.

Brith Yeshurun—religious Revisionists.

Veref—Revisionist women.

Union of State Zionist Academicians.

Brith Avodah Menorah—Union of Revisionist workers in the Diaspora.

Masada—union of Revisionist students.

Nordeiah—union of Revisionist sport groups.

Zebulun—union of Revisionist youths interested in seamanship.

Conference of Tel-Chai (Revisionist fund) leaders together with the directorate and central management of Tel-Chai.

ASSAIL “JEWISH FASCISTS”

To counteract the effects of the Revisionist conferences, the Bund, Polish Socialist organization, has proclaimed a week of protest against “Jewish Fascism,” as left wing groups term the Revisionist movement.
