A national committee is in process of organization under the chairmanship of Jacob de Haas, historian of Palestine for the reception of Vladimar Jabotinsky, Revisionist Zionist leader, who will visit the United States in January on a three months’ lecture tour.
Mr. Jabotinsky is an outspoken advocate of the development of Palestine as a Jewish state, and therefore those invited to join the committee were not asked to pledge support of his views, but help to create an opportunity for their free presentation to American audiences.
Among the 240 persons who have agreed to cooperate in sponsoring Mr. Jabotinsky’s tour are:
Judge Julian W. Mack, Judge Mitchell May, Judge Otto Rosalsky, Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, Professor Richard Gottheil, Rabbi Louis I. Newman, Bernard S. Deutsch, Congressman Celler, Congressman W. I. Sirovich, State Senator Antin, George Z. Medalie, David Podell, Robert Szold, Abraham Tulin, Dr. Joseph Tenenbaum, Professor Horace M. Kallen, John Cournos, Isaac Allen, Dr. S. Benderly, Herman Bernstein, Rabbi J. M. Charlop, J. H. Cohen, Jacob Fishman, Abe Goldberg, Mrs. Emma Gottheil, S. Charles Lamport, Morris D. Kopple, Arthur Meyerowitz, Clarence I. Palitz, Samuel J. Rosensohn, Judge Jacob Strahl, Dr. Max Winkler, William B. Ziff, Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver and Dr. George Gordon.
After his first address at Mecca Temple here January 26, Mr. Jabotinsky will tour New England and Canada. He will then proceed to Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, Indiana and Pennsylvania.
