A program of principles for the guidance of the American delegation to the Nineteenth Zionist Congress has been worked out by the Administration of the Zionist Organization of America and will be submitted for approval tonight (Sunday) at a special conference at the Hotel Pennsylvania, Morris Rothenberg, president of the Zionist Organization of America, announced Friday.

Speaking at a mass meeting Thursday evening, Mr. Rothenberg voiced vigorous criticism of the increasing tendency in the World Zionist Movement towards partisan interests, and decried the separatist action of Revisionists as undermining the authority of the World Zionist Organization. He urged the Zionists of America to be true to the principles of General Zionism by disregarding both right and left extremes and steering a course that will ensure the upbuilding of Palestine for the whole Jewish People.

“Palestine Above Parties,” he said, should be the slogan of American Zionists in the coming Zionist Congress elections.

“I believe it to be the duty of the Zionists of America to take the initiative for an alignment of forces at the next Zionist Congress which will subordinate party objectives to the larger interest of the Jewish People,” Mr. Rothenberg said. “The present Executive of the World Zionist Organization, which is a Coalition Executive, deserves our appreciation for the ability and the vision with which they have carried on their work. At the same time, the present state of the movement requires a broadening of the coalition, so as to include all important elements within the Zionist Organization.
