The general executive of the Jewish National Workers’ Alliance has decided on a campaign to stimulate sales of Palestinian products in the United States, it was announced today. A propaganda campaign will be launched through its branches and a special committee will contact Jewish firms and appeal to housewives to use Palestinian goods.
Louis Segal, general secretary of the Alliance and head of the committee, called attention to the disparity between Palestine’s imports from and exports to the United States. He said that the Arab boycott made it now more important to help equalize the ratio, adding that to Palestine “it is a matter of grave importance when it must pour out its hard-earned money without an adequate return in trade.”
