A five million rouble lottery was announced today by the Ozet, Jewish colonization association, for the purpose of securing financial support to strengthen its work in Bira Bidjan.
The Ozet is also seeking to capitalize the arrival of a group of 60 from Palestine for settlement in Bira Bidjan for a demonstration against Palestine.
The Palestine group is expected to arrive this week and will be accorded a reception in Moscow. A mass meeting will be arranged which will be addressed by representatives of various organizations.
