Detailed
Description		    This volume contains the resolutions of the 13th Zionist Congress, which was held in Karlsbad in 1923. On Aug. 6–19, 1923, the 13th Congress was held in Karlsbad. Before it took place, the British Mandate over Palestine had been endorsed by the League of Nations and the Zionist Organization became officially the Jewish Agency for Palestine, mentioned in Article 4 of the Mandate and charged with taking steps "to secure the cooperation of all Jews who are willing to assist in the establishment of the Jewish National Home." At this Congress, the proposal to include non-Zionists in the Jewish Agency was debated and aroused bitter opposition from those who considered this a threat to the broad democratic basis of the Zionist Organization. Weizmann defended the proposal against its opponents until it was finally implemented six years later (1929). The possibilities of obtaining financial resources for building up Palestine were debated at length, and Chaim Arlosoroff delivered a lecture containing a proposal for a planned economic program. The Congress also resolved to open the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
