WALLACE TO SPEAK AT CONFERENCE ON PALESTINE SUNDAY (CONCLUDED FROM PAGE ONE) view the rlituation In Palestine since the British Royal Commis- sion recently concluded its investi- gation of the administration of the Palestine Mandate, following upon the disorders of 1936. Characterized as the most repre- sentative assembly of American Jewry ever convened because of the inclusion of every section of the Jewish community, the Na- tional Conference for Palestine will also adopt a program for con- tinued reconstruction activity in Palestine that will take into ac- count the pressure upon Jewish migration in various European lands particularly Poland and Germany. T h e attendance of Senator Lodge at the Palestine conference follows a tradition established by his father, the late Senator Henry Cabot Lodge who introduced into the United States Senate the con- current resolution subsequently known as No. 73 of the 67th Con- gress which voiced America's ap- proval of the establishment of the Jewish homeland In Palestine. The resolution was unanimously passed by Congress and signed by Presi- dent Harding on Sept. 21, 1922. Weismann Cancels Trip to U. S.

Vitalize Dry Cleaned and Hand Finished American Aid Essential to Safe- guard Palestine, Kaplan Says PARIS (WNS-Palcor Agency) To surmount the present political and economic obstacles in the path of Jewish progress in Palestine the maximum aid from America will be required, it was declared here by Eliezer Kaplan, treasurer of the Jewish Agency for Pales- tine, as he left on the Berengaria for the United States. Mr. Kap- lan, who will deliver a report on behalf of the Jewish Agency exe- cutive to the National Conference for Palestine at Washington on Feb. 6 and 7, emphasised that his visit would not be for propaganda purposes but to help American Jewish leaders understand the situation that hie developed in the Jewish Homeland. The financial commitments contemplated by the Keren Kayemeth for the coming year will necessitate a fund of $5,000,000 from the United States, Mr. Kaplan asserted in an inter- view with the Pakor News AVM- ."'""".

Dr. Samuel Margoshes, who pre- sided, answered an open letter by the New York chapter of the Guild of Polish Newspapermen, which attempts to exonerate the Polish government of guilt in con- nection with the Jewish plight. Dr. Margoshes charged the Po- lish newspapermen with making a direct appeal to prejudice by their reminder that "Hitler started with a minority and reached full pow- er on the crest of anti-Semitism" and by the atttempt to show that criticism of Poland's violations of the Jews' human and legal rights, "will only swell the current of anti-Semitism in Poland."
