ADLER PRESIDES IN PHILADELPHIA

In Philadelphia Dr. Cyrus Adler, leader of the Jewish Agency, will preside over the city-wide protest meeting to be held there this afternoon at the Metropolitan Opera House. It is understood that Dr. Adler, who is now, after the resignations of Weizmann, Warburg and Melchett, the virtual head of the Jewish Agency, will have an important statement to make. Other speakers will include Judge William M. Lewis; Rabbi Max D. Klein, president of the Philadelphia branch of the Zionist Organization of America; and Abe Goldberg of New York City. Jacob Ginzburg, editor and publisher of the Jewish World, is chairman of the citywide committee.

In Baltimore the protest demonstration will take place tonight in the Auditorium Theatre. Dr. Harry Friedenwald, former president of the American Zionist Organization; Captain Abraham Tulin of New York; and Judge William M. Lewis of Philadelphia will be the speakers. Supreme Court Judge Eli Frank will preside. More than one hundred Baltimore Jewish organizations have called off meetings scheduled for today in order to participate in the demonstration.

The Detroit protest meeting, which will take place at the Shubert-Lafayette Theatre on Sunday night, will be addressed by Mayor Frank Murphy of that city, Congressman Robert H. Clancey, Rabbi A. M. Hershman, Judge William M. Lewis of Philadelphia, Philip Slomovitz and Joseph Haggai.

On the occasion of the protest meeting to be held in Detroit tonight Governor Fred W. Green of Michigan issued a statement on Thursday opposing the latest British policy on Palestine, assuring the Jewish people that the sympathy of the United States is with them and declaring that “no earthly power will thwart them in their age-old ideal—a Jewish home in Palestine.”
