Professor Albert Einstein today radioed to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency from the S.S. Belgenland that he would receive a delegation representing the Jewish National Fund on board the steamer Friday morning. The Belgenland is due Thursday.
The Jewish National Fund, which is the land-buying instrument of the Jewish Agency, was recently criticized in the White Paper. The delegation that will wait on Professor Einstein will consist of Menachem M. Ussishkin, world president of the Jewish National Fund; Elias Epstein, secretary of the head office; Sol Lamport, treasurer of the Jewish National Fund of America; Emanuel Neumann, president of the Jewish National Fund of America, and Isaac H. Rubin, secretary of the Jewish National Fund of America.
