<<iirc R" HS has said that to say that R'YBSs and the S'Rs positions
on the heter mchira were related to their positions on zionism is  (i
don't remember if he said apikorsus or just wrong)>>

ROY in his recent halacha yomit points out that several of the
original opponents to heter mechira belonged to chovevei tzion. RYBS
himself was personally against heter mechira . CI although against
heter mechira used many kulot in the otzar bet din to help the
farmers. So I dont see a connection between helping Jewish farmers and
heter mechira. Even the Maharil Diskin and Badatz upheld the heter
mechira when the situation was bad enough
