Louis Marshall and Felix M. Warburg, together with a group of the American non-Zionist delegation to the Jewish Agency constitution meeting, will sail today on the steamer Majestic The meeting will open in Zurich, Switzerland, on August 11.
Besides Mr. Warburg and Mr. Marshall those sailing on the Majestic to attend the Agency meeting, as well as the meeting of the Executive Committee of the Joint Distribution Committee, and a meeting of the Board of Governors of the Hebrew University, are: Dr. and Mrs. Cyrus Adler, Jacob Billikopf, Jacob Solis-Cohen, Dr. Lee K. Frankel, Jacob Harzfeld, Dr. Maurice B. Hexter, Dr. Emanuel Libman, Dr. Solomon Lowenstein and James N. Rosenberg.
In a statement given to the Jewish Daily Bulletin on the eve of his departure Mr. Warburg declared : “As far as my information goes, the spirit displayed at the Zionist Congress in Zurich augurs well for a successful going into action of the joint forces which we all hope and trust will devote themselves to the steady and successful development of Palestine. This development will not only benefit the Jewish population but, at the same time, also the other inhabitants of that country under the cooperating government of the British Mandate power.”
