Felix M. Warburg, chairman of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, accompanied by James Berker of Chicago, Dr. Bernard Kahn, European Director of the J. D. C., and Dr. Joseph A. Rosen, head of the Agrojoint, left today for an inspection tour of the Jewish colonies.
When interviewed here by press representatives, Mr. Warburg stated that the purpose of his coming to Russia is “to see with my own eyes what I already know from the reports of my friend, Dr. Rosen, creator of the Russian colonization plan.”
