Lipsky Disputes
Silver's Remarks
In a statement issued this week,
Louis Lipsky, former member of
the Jewish Agency Executive,
expresses the hope that, "after
sober reflection," Dr. Abba Hillel
Silver, president of the Zionist
Organization of America, "will
not maintain for long the quick
remarks he made after his return
from Basle."
Regarding Dr. Silver's charge
that the old Executive was re-
pudiated, Mr. Lipsky points out
that the following five who were
responsible for major duties in
Zionism have been retained on
the Executive: David Ben-Gurion,
Moshe Shertok, Dr. Selig Bro-
detsky, Dr. Nahum Goldmann
and Eliezer Kaplan. He also
shows that with only two or three
exceptions, the entire old Execu-
tive has been retained. "For all
purposes, therefore, the new Ex-
ecutive is the old Executive."
