Dr. Herman Seidel, Baltimore, was elected president of the League for Labor Palestine at its national convention here, which closed last night. Other officers elected are Rabbi Samuel Wohl, Cincinnati, chairman of the national council; Herman Lazarus, Philadelphia, secretary, and Ralph Wechsler, Newark, treasurer.
The convention adopted resolutions reaffirming its demand for mass immigration of youth into Palestine, calling on Britain for immediate mobilization of Jewish military units, urging repeal of the White Paper and adoption of “positive measures” to strengthen the Jewish position and foster Arab-Jewish friendship. The convention reaffirmed its support of the program for development of an independent cooperative society in Palestine.
