The European Zionist conference concluded here last night after the delegates adopted a number of resolutions, including one urging that no separate campaign for any institution in Israel be conducted during the six-month period each year when a United Jewish Appeal drive is in progress. The only exception will be the Jewish National Fund drive which will continue throughout the year.
The parley also called on national Zionist federations to organize Zionist, Hebrew and Jewish educational work as well as mass immigration movements. The delegates expressed their gratification with the establishment of a special department in the Jewish Agency for the spreading of Hebrew culture in countries outside of Israel, and asked that this department establish offices in all parts of the world including North Africa. They also expressed regret that any discrimination had been shown toward immigrants from North Africa and urged that a special department to encourage the immigration of all classes of Jews from North Africa be established in Israel.
The importance of the pioneer movement was stressed in another resolution, and a call was issued for additional teachers for agricultural training courses. A special resolution thanked Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Poland for their assistance to Jews immigrating to Israel, and expressed concern at the attitude of Rumania and Hungary toward Jewish immigration to Israel. The liquidation of transient immigrant camps in Israel was also urged as was the need for fighting the negative propaganda of dissatisfied immigrants.
