A demand that the Latin-American Confederation of General Zionists be reorganized in view of the fact that it “does not represent truly the situation of General Zionism on this cortinent” and that its present leadership could not prevent the splitting of the movement in Argentina was voiced here at a conference of general Zionist leaders from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay and Bolivia.
The conference also stated that it is opposed to any attempt to identify South American General Zionists with either of the two General Zionist parties in Israel. The delegates went on record as favoring the existence of a single General Zionist movement in all countries outside Israel.
