An ambulance for Palestine was presented here today at the 17th annual convention of the Mizarachi Women’s Organization of America, as a gift of the organization to the Red Mogen David, the Palestine equivalent of the Red Cross.
The convention, which closes tomorrow, received greetings from President Roosevelt and Dr. Chaim Weizmann. Rabbi Israel Goldstein, president of the Jewish National Fund of America, and Mrs. Abraham Shapiro, president of the Mizrachi Women, in addressing the opening session of the gathering stressed the part Palestine is playing in the Near East warfare and called for the establishment of a Jewish Commonwealth there after the war.
