Yesterday’s session of the Administrative Committee of the Jewish Agency was chiefly devoted to political reports delivered by Dr. Nahum Sokolow, President of the Agency, Dr. Selig Brodetsky and Dr. Chaim Arlosoroff.
Oscar Wasserman delivered the opening address and then handed over the presiding chair to Dr. Leo Motzkin declaring that he hardly felt justified in conducting the proceedings since he had not been able to devote as much time to the work of the Agency as he would have liked.
Following the political reports various commissions were appointed and these went into session immediately. Some of the commissions are meeting jointly with commissions of the Actions Committee of the Zionist Organization.
American representatives at the Agency meeting include Rabbi Samuel Shulman, Louis Lipsky, Joseph C. Hyman, Dr. B. Hexter, and Sam Lamport.
Thereare indications that the Agency will conclude its sessions today.
