(Jewish Daily Bulletin)
Dr. Chaim Weizmann, in a letter to Max Shoolman of Boston, New England chairman of the United Palestine Appeal, who is now engaged in the development of the business centre at Haifa, constructing through his own building corporation, forty-two buildings on the main street of Haifa, and investing in this project about $300,000, invites him to head a commission for the purpose of investigating the possibilities of developing Palestine by means of private investment.
The letter addressed to Mr. Shoolman was made public yesterday.
While Mr. Shoolman has made no statement as to the character of the commission and when such a commission is to sail for Palestine, it was made clear from one who is in close touch with Mr. Shoolman, that when Dr. Weizmann was last here, Mr. Shoolman confered with him and as a result of the conference, Mr. Shoolman agreed to head such a commission.
