Mr. Nahum Sokolov, the President of the Zionist World Organisation and the Jewish Agency for Palestine, was received to-day by the President of the Republic, M. Lebrun, who is a member of the French Pro-Palestine Committee, and was before his recent election as head of the State.
Mr. Sokolov has also seen M. Justin Godart, the Minister of Health, who is President of the French Pro-Palestine Committee, and M. Leon Blum, the Leader of the French Socialist Party, who is a member of the Jewish Agency Council.
The reception which was to have been given in honour of Mr. Sokolov at the Hotel Majestic to-night, at which M. Justin Godart was to have presided, has been abandoned because Mr. Sokolov is leaving this evening for London.
