Although the tragedy in Palestine was immense, it should be turned to good account, using it for consolidating the Zionist movement, strengthening them in their determination to build up the National Home in Palestine. This message was brought from Lord Balfour by Mrs. Dugdale, his niece, in addressing a meeting of the Federation of Women Zionists of Great Britain and Ireland.
An appeal was made by Viscountess Erleigh, daughter of Lord Melchett, who is honorary treasurer of the women’s special effort for the Palestine emergency fund.
Other speakers were Miss Nettie Adler, Mrs. Edith Eder of the Women’s International Zionist Organization, and Mrs. Sieff, who presided. A message was read from Miss Henrietta Szold.
Resolutions of grief and indignation at the Palestine events were adopted, as well as a pledge to support the Executive of the Jewish Agency in demanding that the Palestine administration carry out the spirit and letter of the Mandate.
