fered secure Jewish colonization pos
sibilities because there were oppor-
tunities made legally secure by the
nations Of the world where the Jews
of eastern Europe could rebuild their
shattered lives ins Jewish atmos-
phere. ~
After a three.hour debate a resolu.
ton stating that the best interests Of
Jewry require that all efforts for Jew
ish colonization should be concen-
trated on Palestine, and that insofar
as colonization Is concerned, the
priority of Palestine be recognized"
was referred to the incoming admin
iStration for action.
After a spirited debate. in which
the opposition declared that Palestine
Jewry should have the right to work
out its own domestic problems with
out outside interference, a resolution
was adopted urging equal suffrage
for the Jewish women Of Palestine.
Want Mandate Complied With.
a resolution was also passed urging
the next world Zionist congress TO
call upon Great Britain, the manda-
tory power. TO carry out the pro-
visions of the mandate with regard to
turning over TO the Jewish people
