A protest against the restriction of Jewish immigration into Palestine and a pledge to raise $6,000 during the coming year for the Loan Fund of “Ha’Poel Ha’Mizrachi” in Palestine, were among the resolutions adopted on Monday by the convention of the Young Mizrachi at the Pennsylvania Hotel. 52 delegates from New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland and Seattle were present at the convention, which opened on Sunday.
