Dr. Chaim Weizmann, president of the Jewish Agency for Palestine and the World Zionist Organization, arrived here this evening on the Italian liner Rex for an extended tour of America with the purpose of rallying increased economic support of the Jewish homeland. He is accompanied by his wife, Mrs. Vera Weizmann, an honorary president of the Women’s international Zionist Organization.
(Dr. Weizmann’s arrival came too late for publication of an interview in this issue of the JTA NEWS.)
Meetings to be addressed by Dr. Weizmann have been arranged in many communities throughout the country. His first formal speech will be made next Tuesday evening at a rally in Mecca Temple sponsored by the American Emergency Committee for Palestine Affairs, and he will speak also the following evening at a dinner arranged by the American Friends of the Hebrew University in the Hotel Astor.
Dr. Weizmann had planned to come to the United States from Lisbon by Pan-American Clipper but was prevented from doing so by adverse weather conditions.
