Robert Briscoe, member of the Dail Eireann, who is touring the United States in behalf of a plan for enlarged Jewish colonization in Palestine, yesterday compared the Jews’ dream for establishment of a homeland to the Irish movement, in which he participated. Speaking at Temple Rodeph Sholom, Mr. Briscoe said: “This Irishman, this same Jew, can see no wrong in associating himself today with those Jews who have a similar fantastic dream for the reestablishment of the ancient Jewish homeland.” While in Washington recently, Mr. Briscoe interviewed a number of senators and State Department officials. He will speak tomorrow night at Manhattan Opera House at a meeting sponsored by a committee headed by Magistrate William O’Dwyer.
