There will be no reunion between the Zionist Revisionists and the Judenstaat party, formerly the Democratic Revisionists, Dr. Robert Stricker, Viennese leader of the latter group, announced today.

“There are no negotiations going on or contemplated with the Revisionists,” Dr. Stricker said. “As for the invitation to reunion extended by Vladimir Jabotinsky, what sort of an invitation is it, which opens the door and reveals that everything inside is the same as before.”

Jabotinsky’s offer, made during the recent Krakow conference of the World Revisionist Union, is unacceptable, since the invitation fails to remove the conditions which led to the split between the two groups, it was declared.

The dissident group, which is led by Meier Grossman, seceded from the main Revisionist body over an issue of internal discipline. Another split is now theatened by the extremist wing of Jabotinsky’s followers, who consider him too conciliatory where England is concerned.
