Palestine Economic. Corporation
and one of the outstanding eco-
nomic leaders in Israel, will
meet with a group of prominent
Detroiters at 2 p.m. Sunday, at
the home of' Max J. Zivian, 1565-
Balmoral Drive, to discuss with
them latest economic- develop-
ments in the Jewish State. Irwin
I. Cohn will be the chairman.
Even from the early days,
when in his youth he attended
the Zionist Congresses with
Herzl, Mr. Simon has planned
and labored and thought and ac-
complished for the welfare of
the ordinary fellow who came
to build a new life in the Holy
Land. The Palestine Economic

of the architects and is today, at

to Zionist Congresses and a mem=
ber of the Zionist Council, - 1908
to 1920; member of the board of
directors of the Jewish Colonial
Trust, 1911 to 1920. In 1920-21 he
was a member of the Zionist
Executive and resigned from that
body because of a disagreement
he had with his colleagues over
the development program in
Palestine. He is treasurer of the
Palestine Council of Hadassah
and serves on the Jewish Na-
tional Fund.
