M. M. Ussischkin, director of the Jewish National Fund, arrived in Quebec on Monday on the steamer Alaunia.
Rabbi J. L. Zlotnik, executive director of the Canadian Zionist Federation and a committee headed by Maurice Poliack were at the pier to greet him.
Accompanied by Rabbi Zlotnik, Mr. Ussischkin went to Ottawa where a banquet was arranged in his honor. At the banquet the campaign of the Keren Hayesod was inaugurated. A. J. Freiman, president of the Canadian Zionist Federation, presided. Mr. Ussischkin spoke of the present situation in Palestine and outlined the task now facing the Jewish National Fund. Ten thousand dollars were contributed at the banquet.
Mr. Ussischkin is now the guest of A. J. Freiman at Mcach Lake, near Ottowa. He will leave on July 6 for Winnipeg to attend the convention of the Canadian Zionist Federation which opens on July 10.
