Plot by Radical Faction Is Charged at International Conference

LONDON, July 10.—The stormy debate in the International Zionist Conference on Friday was followed today by charges that a faction of the delegates is attempting to overthrow the old Zionist leaders, to replace them by younger and more radical men. The program of this faction calls for:

1-A Jewish world congress to make plans for the new state of Palestine.

2—Creation of a Jewish armed legion to support the new Zionist government when it is formed.

3—An “open immigration policy” for Palestine.

Dr. Max Nordau wants the British government to fix a definite time limit for its mandate over Palestine, and he demands that the negotiations between the Zionist leaders and the allies prior to the San Remo conference be published.
