member of the executive of the
Jewish State Party and after its
amalgamation with the New Zion-
ist Organization he was elected a
member of the United Zionist Re-
visionist Executive. He was a dele-
gate to the conferences of the Zion-
ist Federation and the British sec-
tion of the World Jewish Congress,
and a member of the Board of
Deputies of British Jews. He was
very active all his life, and ad-
dressed various meetings through-
out London. -
