ZIONIST CONGRESS IN SESSION (Continued from page 8) In practically complete control of the j*t ( -ngress, the Laborites twice won •imatic victories over their bitter op- the Revisionists, when the Con- rf „ cle<ted a presidium from which the fvi*ioni"ts were excluded and fahen it irrwhehningly rejected the Revisionist Lpo*aI to support the anti-German boy- ott in favor of a resolution expressing l on^ress’ horror over the persecution • the Jews in Germany, and calling m the civilized world and the League . Nations not only to support the Jewish I pie in its struggle to regain its rights a Germany but to help them rebuild ilestine as the Jewish National Home, r debates that preceded both actions ere stormy and each time the Revi- mt' left the Congress hall, Dr. Leon lot/kin was elected president of the rrtidium and Menahem Ussishkin, M. ufeisen, M. Kaplansky, Isaac Sprinzak, i Kaplan and Isaac Gruenbaum, vice- residents. The resolution on the German Jews ipressed an emphatic protest against the litlerite government policy of outlawing he Jews, and asserted that the Zionists tf the world would not rest until this utlawry has been rescinded and that uev consider it their duty to raise a llemn protest, and affirmed that “it is the duty of the civilized world and the league of Nations to give actual help to the Jewish people in its work of recon- struction of the Jewish national home as well as to support the Jewish people in ' struggle to regain its rights in Ger- >any. The resolution also appealed to the Jews of the world to recognize that the only solution to the Jewish question i* Zionism. While the Congress was awaiting the election of the presidium, Professor Selig Hrodetsky, head of the Jewish Agency’s "iitira 1 department, gave a detailed re- >ew of the Agency’s relations with the British government since 1929. Saying ut the decision of the 17th Zionist Con gress to accept Premier MacDonald’s tter to-Dr. Weizmann had been wise, •’r. Brodetzky noted that generally a •ore favorable attitude prevails toward Zionist work both in London under the n ew Colonial Secretary and in Jerusalem ■ader High Commissioner Wauchope, al- a°ugh many vicissitudes accompanied aese improved relations, especially as re- •■ar.b the contemplated land restrictions an 'i immigration. Touching on the re- t Sir Lewis French and the $10,- loan to Palestine, Professor Bro- • ft A' expressed the fear that the con- -mpi.ited projects would mostly favor the '-ah* because of the general belief that l,rfat Britain must look after the Arabs, 'fiilc 'he Jews can look after themselves. f ' d it was a base calumny to ac- ie Jews of having displaced the '-ah. from the land, a charge which is ! 'P r ed by the government’s own fig- r ' Respite this, he said new land leg- l a, i 1 was reported about to become t rft,,e * Professor Brodetzky informed >f ( ngress that the Jewish Agency had 1 for more time to submit its views legislation, but if the British gov- nrT it s statement means that it has epted the recommendations of the report and that the danger of control of land transfers has been •ted then the statement removes s t serious danger. Fren gen? flimi the r . essor Brodetzky’s report demanded J' r,e agricultural program in Pale- e based on the principle of parity for Jews and Arabs and that there should be a greater Jewish participation in public service and government works be cause of the large Jewish contribution to public revenues. He voiced grave con cern at the government’s intention to es tablish a legislative council which is lia ble to mean the subjection of the Jews by the Arab majority. “The Jews don’t look upon Palestine as a station on the route of the Wandering Jew but as our terminus,’’ he declared, insisting that Palestine be a land where the Jews can have national freedom without which the life of any nation is meaningless. The paramount question for the Man datory Power, he asserted, is to display a greater understanding of the large Jew ish problem because this is the real mean ing of the Mandate, Professor Brodetzky demanded that the doors of Palestine should be opened wide to the tens of thousands of Jewish refugees from Pale stine. Within the next few decades Pale stine has room for hundreds of thousands of Jews and millions more in the next few generations, he declared. Dr. Arthur Ruppin, chairman of the commission for the colonization of Ger man Jews in Palestine, informed the Con gress that within the next five years Pale stine could absorb 100,000 Jews. He ex pressed the belief that there would be no obstacle placed in the way of organ izing for the immigration of Jews from Germany. The rest of the Jews in Ger many must be transferred to other coun tries, he said urging that the United States relax its immigration laws to admit some of them and that the League of Nations undertake to place 50,000 German Jews in countries other than Palestine. Heschel Farbstein, member of the Ex ecutive, reported on the growth of indus try in Palestine and complained that the government was not helpful because it had failed to protect new industries, had neglected to provide for the free admission of raw materials and ignored the demands of industry in allotting im migration certificates. He also noted that the Jewish Agency Executive had failed to realize the importance of in dustries which employ only Jews, and demanded the abrogation of the rule granting labor certificates only to those under 25 years of age. The importance of extensive cultivation of the soil so as to enable it to increase its yield tenfold was stressed by Moses Wilkansky. Berl Locker, also a member of the Zionist Executive, expressed gratification at the large number of voters in the Zionist Congress elections. He dwelt on the need of strengthening of the Zionist Organiza tion’s permanent membership and de clared that the abnormal shekel system had given all shekel payers the right to Zionist citizenship at the same time that it had allowed the Revisionists to come in and out of the organization according to their whim. Locker advocated the adoption of strict discipline and sanctions against those who break Congress deci sion. He also condemned the Revisionist libels against the Zionist funds. The Congress court reported that 46 countries were represented at the Congress by 316 delegates. Only Russia, Germany and Persia had no accredited delegates. More than 800,000 Zionists had participated in the Congress elections, an increase of over 200,000 since the last Congress. The court recommended the establishment of permanent shekel boards in every country to function throughout the year and not only just before the Congress elections. Serious differences of opinion appear to have broken out among the Jabotinsky Revisionists, with the Palestine Revision ists demanding a more aggressive policy. The American delegation has been split in two, one group being headed by Louis Lipsky and Morris Rothenberg and the other by Dr. Stephen S. Wise and Robert Szold.
