(Communication to the Editor)
Sir:
I think that the folowing figures on the vote of confidence in the recent Zionist Congresses are sufficiently selfilluminating to require no comment. At each of the three recent congresses a vote of confidence was moved, carried and has sustained the Weizmann administration. The figures are as follows:-
In 1923 of the 315 delegates, 146 voted for confidence.67 against 102 abstaining from voting. In 1925 of the 305 delegates, 136 voted for confidence. 17 against, 152 abstaining, and in 1927 of the 280 delegates, 113 voted for confidence, 54 against, 113 abstaining.
Translated into percentages in 1923 Dr. Weizmann and his associates had the support of 461/2 percent, of the Congress.
In 1925 he was suppored by 441/2 per cent of the Congress in 1927 the support was reduced to 40 percent, Jacob do Haas
