The right of the Zionist Congress to adopt binding resolutions by a majority was questioned, and it was contended that resolutions were valid only if they had the unanimous support of all parties. The proposal was made in all seriousness, that the Zionist Organisation should be converted intoa Federation of autonomous parties which should meet periodically and work jointly in all spheres in which there was agreement and pursue their separate roads in all other spheres. As a consequence of this conception the demand was made that an agreement of the Zionist parties should be sought not within the organs of 42
