An audience of more than 7,000 persons here, last night adopted a resolution greeting the Jewish Federation of Labor in Palestine and remanding the establishment of Palestine as a Jewish Commonwealth.
The mass-meeting marked the conclusion of a $200,000 campaign for the Palestine labor League. Principal speakers included Dr. Solomon Goldmann, former president of the Zionist Organization of America; Dan Pines, representative of the Histadruth; and Isaac Hamlin, leader of the Zionist Laborites in America.
Rabbi Goldmann spoke of the tragedy of the Jews in Europe and the necessity of bringing them to Palestine. He emphasized that Palestine today is the only hope for thousands of these Jews. He lauded the role of Jewish labor in the up-building of Palestine. Mr. Pines appealed to American Jewry to mobilize all its strength for the Jewish cause in Palestine.
