A new advisory board of the Jewish National Fund has been named and Julius Simon elected Chairman, Emanuel Neumann, President, announced.
The advisory board is planned to enlist the cooperation of leading Jews in all phases of Palestinian work, so that the Jewish National Fund may have the advice of outstanding experts in various fields of communal work. Mr. Simon is a member of the Committee of Seven of the Zionist Organization negotiating for the creation of the Jewish Agency. He headed the Commission appointed by Dr. Weizmann in 1920 to go to Palestine for the purpose of reorganizing Zionist effort there. The names of members of the advisory board are now being considered by Mr. Neumann, Mr. Simon and the Administrative Committee of the Jewish National Fund, and will be announced shortly.
