An agreement was reached today between the Zionist Executive and the World Revisionist Executive which provides that immigration certificates for Revisionists are to be granted from the current labor, schedule on the same basis as hitherto, even if the Revisionists establish an independent World Zionist Organization.

The Zionist Executive in Palestine has notified the members of the Executive in London of the agreement, explaining that the right to receive collective immigration certificates is provided for the Brith Trumpeldor, Revisionist youth organization, if the Revisionists should leave the Palestine offices in Europe where distribution of the certificates is supervised.

While the agreement reached today deals only with the certificates under the current labor schedule, negotiations for a long term agreement are being continued.

Although the immigration certificates are granted to the Jewish Agency in which the non-Zionists are partners, the negotiations with the Revisionists for the distribution of the certificates are conducted not by the Jewish Agency but by the Zionist Executive in Palestine, since the Jewish Agency as such is not interested in whether or not the Revisionists participate in the next Zionist Congress,
