Charles Fruton, manager of the Eastern European Department of the Cunard Line, will personally conduct a Palestine tour which begins Wednesday with the departure of the Aquitania.
Particular interest is evidenced in this tour because among those sailing are settlers on their way to take up new homes in Palestine. There is also a number of Palestinian Jews who have been living in the United States for some time now and who have decided to return to the Holy Land. In addition there are Americans who have invested in orange and lemon groves and who are going to Palestine to give their property their personal supervision.
That Cunard is using the Aquitania for Palestine tours is largely the result of Mr. Fruton’s efforts. He will arrange all travel details for members of his group, including necessary travel doeuments and the proper routing of passengers by rail to reach their final destinations after the ship arrives at Haifa.
