High Commissioner James G. McDonald will be the principal speaker when the $3,000,000 campaign for the settlement of German Jewish refugees in Palestine and elsewhere is launched under the joint auspices of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee and the American Palestine Campaign at Hotel Astor tomorrow evening.
Acceptances to the conference have been received from all parts of the country and it is expected to prove one of the most significant gatherings of its kind ever held. Before sailing for Europe, High Commissioner McDonald wishes to present the refugee problem to a representative gathering of American Jews, who in turn will transmit it to their communities. His address will be broadcast over the network of the National Broadcasting Company.
Other speakers will include Rabbi Jonah B. Wise, national, chairman of the fund raising committee of the JDC, and Morris Rothenberg, co-chairman of the American Palestine Campaign and of the Council of the Jewish Agency for Palestine. Federal Judge Julian W. Mack will preside.
