Jan Masaryk, who resigned Monday as Minister of Czecho Slovakia to Great Britain, will come to the United States early in January to address the National Conference for Palestine, which will be held on Jan. 14 and 15 at the Hotel May flower here, the United Palestine Appeal announced today. in a conversation in London recently with Dr. Solomon Goldman and Louis Lisky, co-chairman of the U.P.A., Mr. Masaryk expressed sympathy with the Zionist movement, which had been considered a great ideal of the Jewish people by his father, the late Thomas G. Masaryk, who founded the Czechoslovakian Republic.

The U.P.A. also made public a message from Prof. Felix Frankfurter of Harvard Law School which said: “Hitherto the rebuilding of Palestine has been a noble dream. Now it is a dire necessity. The pioneers have done their glorious part to make the dream a living reality. Let us do our part.”
