apply for recognition as a Separate Union and to submit a request in this sense to the Executive for consideration by the General Council. A complaint submitted by the Jewish State Party against this decision was rejected by the General Council at its meeting in April, 1934. Thereupon the Jewish State Party at one of its meetings proposed that it should be recognised as a Separate Union. In this form the motion, according to par. 11 of the Constitution, could not be dealt with.

The Jewish State party omitted to submit its motion to the Executive during the whole of the time that has elapsed since the meeting in April, 1934.

The relations of the Revisionists to the Zionist Organisation, and the dual attitude that they adopted to the Organisation, led after the 18th Congress to ever increasing and more difficult complications. On the one hand, the Revisionists were organised in the World Union of Zionist Revisionists, which, as will be recalled, declared itself in 1931 as an independent body quite detached from the Zionist Organisation, and as such conducted its own policy opposed to that of the Zionist Organisation. On the other hand, there existed formally the Separate Union of Zionist Revisionists apparently consisting of members of the World Union, and, upon their motion, recognised as a Separate Union by the General Council in July, 1932, which Separate Union claimed all the rights pertaining to a Separate Union as an integral constituent of the Zionist Organisation. The formal continuance of the existence of the " Separate Union of Zionist-Revisionists," which never had an independent existence in fact, has been the cause of chaos within the Organisation that necessitated a clear and definitive solution. 2. The conditions attached to the recognition of the Separate Union by the General Council in July, 1932, have unfortunately 34
