Louis Lipsky of New York, for-
mer ZOA president and member
of the Jewish Agency Executive,
called for unity. "Of the greatest
importance to the Zionist move-

the ties that bind together all
parts of the movement into one
great national effort for freedom,"
he said.

Reminding his audience the

Democratic Party must share
responsibility for a solution of
the Palestine problem and that

ibility with Secretary- of State
