As a result of an understanding arrived at in London recently between Felix M. Warburg, chairman of the Administrative Committee of the Jewish Agency, and Menachem M. Ussishkin, president of the Jewish National Fund, Mr. Ussishkin will come to the United States in the Fall to conduct here the campaign for funds which would enable the J. N. F. to buy large stretches of land in Palestine and settle a large number of pioneers on it.
The agreement between Mr. Warburg and Mr. Ussishkin was reached last week in London at the close of the sessions of the Administrative Committee of the Jewish Agency and of the Zionist Actions Committee, according to a statement by Emanuel Neumann, president of the Jewish National Fund of America. Dr. Chaim Weizmann and A. M. Epstein, secretary of the Jewish National Fund, participated in the deliberations.
The campaign for the Jewish National Fund, which will be conducted in the United States in the fall, will not conflict in any way with the drive of the Allied Jewish Campaign in this country, said Mr. Neumann. The Jewish National Fund is not included in the Allied Jewish Campaign. It is expected that when the Jewish National Fund campaign will start in the fall the Allied Jewish Campaign will be virtually over.
