An appeal for action to accelerate the immigration to Palestine of Czech Jews was voiced here today by B.Z. Gotlieb of Prague, addressing the opening conference of the Association of Czechoslovakian Settlers in Palestine.
The conference was told that only 90 of the Czech Jews here have expressed a desire to return to their homeland, while Jews who enlisted in the Czech Army are demanding that they be returned to Palestine instead of being demobilized in Czechoslovakia.
