The Jewish Agency for Palestine today announced that it is now in the process of completing its observations on the report of the Anglo-American inquiry committee and will submit them next week to the Zionist Actions Committee.
At a closed session of the Actions Committee today, Dr. Chaim Weizmann spoke at great length on the implications of the report and gave an outline of the general Zionist policy pursued since the appointment of the Anglo-American inquiry committee. He also reiterated his suggestion that the forthcoming World Zionist Congress, scheduled to open on August 7 in Jerusalem, be postponed.
Dr. Moshe Sneh, speaking for the executive of the Jewish Agency, opposed Dr. Weizmann’s suggestion. He urged the Actions Committee to stand by the executive’s decision to hold the congress in Palestine in August. He reported that about 1,500,000 Shekolim will probably be sold throughout the world in connection with the election of delegates to the congress. Of them 300,000 will be sold in Palestine and a similar number in the liberated European countries. At least 700,000 shekolim will be sold in the United States.
