Charles Passman, Jerusalem director of the American Zion Commonwealth, has resigned from his position.
The reason for his resignation was said to be a difference of opinion which arose between Mr. Passman and the American directors regarding the aims and methods of the work.
Solomon Weinstein, president of the American Zion Commonwealth, when asked for a confirmation of this despatch, stated: “About two months ago a resignation was tendered by Mr. Passman. This was due to certain differences of opinion which developed between him and the directors of the Commonwealth. His resignation was at that time declined and all differences were adjusted. We believe that this information has reference to the old controversy.”
