SO. AFRICAN ZIONISTS
TO DISCUSS ABOLITION
PARTY SYSTEM IN
DIASPORA
JOHANNESBURG, (JTA) —
The position of Zionist parties
in countries outside of Israel,
now that Israel has become a
concrete political reality with
international recognition, will
be one of the main issues of de-
bate at the 22nd South African
Zionist Conference, scheduled
to open here next week.
. The issue has been brought
to a head as the result of the
resignation of Vemard Gering,
chairman of the South African
Zionist Federation, from the
presidency and from member-
ship in the United Zionist Par-
ty of South Africa, because he
believes that the time is past
for Zionism on a party basis
outside of Israel.
In a statement made here
this week. Mr. Gering said he
had taken this step because he
was convinced that with the
establishment of Israel, the
system of party politics within
South African Zionism was no
longer tenable. The present

structure of the South African
Zionists have always worked
for Zionism on a non-party
basis, and today they and many
institutions want to see the non
party principle adopted by the
Federation.
“I am convinced that a best-
man system of executive con-
trol within the South African
Zionist Federation is in the best
interests of our community’s ef-
forts .to aid the stale .of Israel,”
Mr. Gering stated. He thought
that there should be direct rep-
resentation at Zionist confer-
ences from non-party institu-
tions affiliated with the Zion-
ist Federation, as well as from
Zionist parties, and that the ex-
ecutive of the Federation
should be elected on a best-man
basis by delegates representing
the whole of South African
Jewry.
Mr. Gering has been a mem-
ber ot the Zionist Federation’s
Executive Council for over 25
