The convention also adopted a resolution insisting upon the ad- ministrative autonomy of the Am- erican Zionist movement in its re- lationship with the Jewish Agency executive. The 2,000 delegates at the parley also adopted a resolu- tion referring to the incoming administration for study of the Rifkind report which recommends basic structural changes in the World Zionist Organization.

"Cyprus was closed! The DP camps of Austria and Germany would soon shut down! Shanghai's Jews were being aided! "What we didn't count on once victory had been won on the battle- field was the cowardly Arab act of driving the Jews out o� Moslem countries." he explained.
