Herbert Morrison, who was British Foreign Minister during the Labor Party’s government, will go to the United States in October to help campaign for the sale of Israel Bonds.
Announcement of Mr. Morrison’s acceptance of the Israel Bond organization’s invitation to help the sales drive was made here today by Henry Montor of New York, executive head of the Israel Bond organization. Mr. Morrison, who is now deputy leader of the Labor Party’s opposition in Parliament, visited Israel recently and, according to Mr. Montor, “wants to give expression of his desire to help call attention to the achievements as well as the potentials of Israel’s economic program.”
Mr. Montor told the JTA here today that his talks with British officials, about launching an Israel Bond drive in this country, is proceeding smoothly. The conversations are continuing, he said, but he was not yet ready to state when the Bond arrangements here will be finalized.
