Mr. Oswald Elim D’Avigdor Goldsmid, distinguished British Jewish leader, and Chairman of the Council of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, who arrived in the United States on the S.S. Majestic for a brief stay, will be the guest at a specially convened meeting of the American Representatives of the Jewish Agency for Palestine on Saturday evening, May 6th, at the Hotel Astor, according to an announcement by Mr. Morris Rothenberg, Chairman of the American Administrative Committee.
An invitation has been issued to the members and deputy members of the Jewish Agency Council to meet with Mr. Goldsmid, under the signatures of Felix M. Warburg, Honorary Chairman, Dr. Cyrus Adler and Dr. Stephen S. Wise, Co-Chairmen.
