cement of his opposition to the present
policy of the Zionist Executive was
made by M. M. Ussishkin, director of
the Jewish National Fund in Pales-
tine, who arrived here July 16 on his
way to London. In an interview with
the representative of the Jewish Tele-
graphic Agency, he declared:
"I have abstained in the last three
months from criticising the policy of
t the Zionist Executive, working, in-
stead, successfully for the Jewish Na -
tional Fund. However, when the
meeting of the Actions Committee is
convened, I will take a definite stand
i on matters.
"I am opposed to calling the Zionist
Congress next winter, because I think
that this would paralyze the Zionist
work in the most important season.
Sees No Em•rgency.
"Concerning the participation of the
non-Zionists in the Zionist work, I do
not think that there is any emergency.
I am opposed to handing over the sup-
I ervision of the Zionist policy to non-
Zionists, although co-ordination and
• mutual control of the economic policy
is desirable. The question to be fought
out now is: 'Will the Zionist organiza-
tion be preserved or will it liquidate
itself.' "
