Labor League Hears
Palestinian Report

In spite of the British White
Paper and the restrictions cur-
rently imposed, the development
of Palestine is proceeding rapid-
ly, Ralph Wexler, national treas-
urer of the League for Labor Pal-
estine, reported at a meeting of
Detroit Chapter 1 held March 8.
Mr. Wexler has just returned
from six weeks tour of Palestine
and summarized conditions of the
country and the activities of the
Histadruth. . • •
"One way to negate the' White
Paper is by practical activities,"
he explained. "If immigration is
'United, it means that more peo-
ple must be brought in 'unoffi-
cially;' if land purchases are
stopped, more land must be ob-
tained on technicalities."
"Arab-Jewish relations are bet-
ter than they ever have been due
to the economic development of
the country as the common Arab
(not the Effendi) knows that he is
better off than in any other coun-
try," he reported. • "This is also
due partly to the fear and re-
spect with which the Arab views
the Jewish settler."

of New York, member of the
National Board, and Rabbi Leon
I. Feuer of Toledo, national vice-
president of the Zionist Organ-
ization of America, will speak.
Panel discussions will center
about new books dealing with
the Palestine scene, and the
forthcoming World Zionist Con-
gress.
Monday morning will be de-
voted to round table discussions
of techniques and achievements.
Presidents of chapters and di-
visions will describe their activi-
ties.
Mrs. Arthur
Edelstein of
Toledo, president of the region,
will preside.
Mrs. Louis Glasier, president
of the Detroit Chapter of Hadas-
sah, will appoint delegates to the
conference. '
