Dr. Chaim Weizmann, president of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, left for Jerusalem this morning after a one-day visit here during which he conferred with Premier Mohammed Mahmoud Pasha and other Egyptian Arab leaders on a possible settlement of the Palestine problem. The Zionist leader was quoted as promising to return for further conversations.
Yesterday’s conferences were understood to have produced no definite results. Dr. Weizmann was believed to have indicated his desire that the status quo be maintained in Palestine and to have emphasized that any solution without Jewish consent would be impracticable in the light of America’s attitude.
Dr. Weizmann was quoted as stating that he had been invited by President Roosevelt to visit the United States and would sail next month. (Dr. Weizmann is expected to arrive in New York in time for the ceremonies opening the Jewish Palestine Pavilion at the New York World’s Fair, according to the Pavilion’s sponsoring committee. The ceremonies are tentatively scheduled to be held on May 15.)
