Zionist Leadership
JERUSALEM, (JTA) • — Rela-
tions between Israel and the
Jews of the rest of the world as
well as between Great Britain
and the Jewish Agency were
chief topics of discussion in
Tuesday's debate at sessions of
the World Zionist Actions Com-
mittee. The situation within the
American Jewish community
also held the center of attrac-
tion.
Itzhak Gruenbaum asserted
that a difference between Israel
and other Jews already exists
and- that the name of Israel- has
deepened the difference which
would have been lesSened if the
state had been named Medinath

American Zion t situation,
Gruenbaum declared: "Henry.
Morgenthau is a good friend,
but I would not entrust Zion-

that it would be a fatal error to
create the impression that Zion-

Israel absorb immigration and
stated that the Zionist Organi-
zation must continue its work
because what has been achieved
is only the beginning. _____

Dr. Nahum Goldmann, acting
chairman of the American sec-
tion of the Agency executive,
warned that this was not the
time for handing over all Zionist
functions to non-Zionists. This
procedure would be a "fatal
mistake," Dr. Goldman insisted,
and suggested that the Agency
itself might be enlarged to give
non-Zionists a voice in the dis-
tribution of funds in whose col-
lectioi they have assisted.
Some 50 newly-arrived im-
migrants demonstrated for em-
ployment and adequate housing
outside the Agency building
where the meeting was taking
place.
Dr. Israel Goldstein, Agency
treasurer, reported that in that
period a total of 14 reception
camps and 33 new settlements
had been established, and that
building construction was under
way in many abandoned Arab
villages to provide accomoda-
tions for new Jewish arrivals.
