—The elections in the "His-

matter.—I replied.

understand.
—The number of members
in the Histadrut today is over
640,000. Together with their
families they are a majority of
the inhabitants of the State. A
matter which is important to a
majority of the inhabitants is
important to the entire coun-

Zionist Party in Israel in inter-
nal Israeli matters.
"If the ZOA genuine desires
to make a departure from its
past performance, then let it
follow the suggestion made in
Jerusalem by one of its own
outstanding leaders and officers,
Abraham Goodman, that the
ZOA leave the General Zionist
Confederation, in which the
General Zionist ,party in Israel
is the central factor, and join
the recently re-organized World
Confederation of General Zion-
ists—completely Diaspora-based
—and thus sever, clearly and
fully, its involvements and ties
with the General Zionist party
in Israel. On this basis there
would be room for the discus-
sion proposed by Redelheim."
Shapiro announced that the
League has convoked a meeting
of its board of directors, to take
place Sunday in New York. On
that occasion, an address will
be delivered by Louis Lipsky,
honorary president of the
League.
Judge Louis E. Levinthal,
ho..orary president of t h e
League, member of the execu-
tive of the World Confederation
and member of the 19-man con-
stitution committee of the
World Zionist Organization, will
analyze the constitutional re-
visions now under considera-
tion.
