Berlin.—(J. T. A.)—Following a fierce attack on the Zionist Organization, and a veiled one at the British Mandate, the Agudah Israel in conference has decided not to participate in the proposed World Congress for Palestine. Rabbi Pinchas Cohen submitted three reasons for non-participation, which the conference accepted: The neutrality of the Zionist Organization with respect to religion; the fact that the British Mandate is based on a "political constellation" contrary to the war concept of the Agudah, by which is meant that the Agudah during the war was in favor of the Central Powers; the Jewish World Congress at present would testify to Jewish solidarity, thus giving anti-Semites a newweapon to -wield against the Jews.
