Mr. Mayer Dizengoff, the Mayor of Tel Aviv, has been in Paris for some time personally supervising the progress of the work on the Palestine Favilion, The work is already sufficiently far advanced for visitors to be struck by the outstanding design of the famous Tomb of Rachel, in which form the Palestine Pavilion is being built
