Dr. Chaim Weizmann, President of the World Zionist Organization, is suffering from the effects of prolonged and incessant strain, according to an announcement made by the World Zionist Executive, through the Zionist Organization of America. In a cable explaining the state of the Zionist leader’s health, the Zionist Executive says:
“The Zionist Executive announces that Dr. Weizmann is suffering from the effects of prolonged and incessant strain.
“He has been medically ordered complete rest and abstention from public work. His condition already shows some improvement and there is every prospect of gradual recovery of strength, leading to complete restoration of health well before the meeting of the Zionist Congress in July, and probably sooner.”
The cable from the Executive is in reply to a report as to the seriousness of Dr. Weizmann’s condition. Dr. Weizmann is now resting at a health sanatorium in England.
