Mass meetings of protest against the Jewish immigration policy of the Palestine government are being organized all over Austria, by the varoius Zionist parties.
A meeting of the Juden Staat party, formerly the Democratic Revisionists, under the chairmanship of Meer Grossman, demanded the immediate convocation of the Actions Committee of the World Zionist Organization in order to vote lack of confidence in the present executive, which was chosen at the Eighteenth Zionist Congress at Prague in August.
