Rev. Z. H. Masliansky returned Thursday to New York from a six months tour abroad, visiting Germany, Czecho-Slovakia and Italy.
Dr. Weizmann, whom he met in Italy, asked him to convey a message to the Jews of America, Dr. Masliansky stated. Recent events have taught us that the Jews cannot depend upon England alone in Palestine, Dr. Weizmann said. England cannot be constantly sending aeroplanes to safeguard the Jewish populace. The only solution of the problem is more Jews, a more concentrated settlement. Had there been 100,000 additional Jews in the country, outbreaks would never have occurred. Dr. Weizmann expressed the hope American Jewry will comprehend the problem and will create the means for making possible an intensive immigration.
