“The American Israelite” of Cincinati pays tribute to the services of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency in its report of the dinner tendered to Jacob Landau, Managing Director of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, upon his return from a trip to Europe and Palestine.
“The chief speaker,” the paper writes. “was Louis Marshall, who paid fitting and deserved tribute to the J.T.A. and its subsidiary. The Jewish Daily Bulletin. Mr. Landau deserves all the praise that is given him, and more, too, as those who have been ‘handing’ the news bulletins from the beginning are well qualified to say. Mr. Marshall hit the nail on the head when he asserted of the J.T.A. news bulletins:
“‘So important do I consider them I have no hestitation in saying that if they did not exist it would be necessary for the community to create a substitute possessing the same high qualities.
“To which The Israelite says amem, and begs to add, in addition to its hearly welcome home, the hope that the Bulletin and the service generally will improve as rapidly in the future as it did in the few years since it was established.”
