In 1920 he went to London as a member of the Reorganization Commission together with Julius Simon and Nehemia de Lieme. Szold aligned himself with the Brandeis-Mack forces, who were nevertheless ousted by the Weizmann supporters from the Zionist Organization of America administration (1921) . In 1930 the ZOA formally recalled the Brandeis-Mack leadership and Szold served as chairman of the administration until 1932. He was among those who opposed the 1937 proposal of partitioning Palestine between Jews and Arabs. Yet at the 22nd World Zionist Congress in 1946, Szold supported Weizmann in his desire to negotiate with the British instead of the more militant position of Abba Hillel Silver, which prevailed. Szold was a member of numerous organizations devoted to the economic development of Palestine including the Palestine Endowment Funds, Inc.
