Mapam Adopts Pro-Russian Platform

AVIV.—Mapam's second national conference concluded, most resolutions being
passed unanimously or by a wide majority. Hashomer Hatzair, Achdut Ovoda and
Poale Zion resolved to call their party the Zionist Pioneer Socialist. and Revolutionary
Party of Workers Front in Israel." The United formula condemns Titoism, accepts guid-
ing principles formulated in Borochov's Marxist interpretation of national existence,
Jewry's territorial concentration in its homeland, also Marxist-Leninist precepts on world
policy for the political struggle of the revolutionary workers movement.
A compromise formula offers three main directives: Firstly, the Jewish peoples na-
tional problem will be solved by concentrated ingathering of exiles into territorial Eretz
-Israel, consolidation of political economic independence, national cultural revival includ-
ing Hebrew language, revising social structure into working nation with Socialist Eretz
Israel. Secondly, establishment of a Socialist Israel as an unamputated combined home-
land for the Jewish people and resident Arabs, based on independence and mutual respect.
Thirdly; liquidation of capitalism, eradication of class exploitation through a socialist
revolutionaryfworkers administration.
The conference- determined the following conditions for Mapam's participation in a
coalition government: No military bases for foreign powers; no foreign control in corn-
mand of Israel army; no assistance in war efforts to foreign powers; no political eco-
nomic alliances with foreign powers; rejection of foreign loans, grants, technical aid with
political attachments; finally; that Israel workers would never fight the Soviet Union,
