DR. LOWENSTEIN RETURNS FROM TRIP TO PALESTINE
Dr. Solomon Lowenstein, Executive Director of the Federation for the Support of Jewish Philanthropic Societies in New York, arrived yesterday on the steamer Albert Ballin from a visit to Palestine.
“The Hebrew University is the institution which most inspired me in Palestine,” Dr. Lowenstein stated to a representative of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
“The crisis is being handled with a good deal of tact. The spirit of the Jewish worker is admirable and the situation promises hopeful solution. The British administration is trying its best to solve the problems in the country.”
