Sir Harold MacMichael, High Commissioner for Palestine, left today to open the Palestine Industrial Exhibit at Cairo. He was accompanied by Dr. Emil Schmorak and Eliezer Kaplan, representing the Executive of the Jewish Agency in Palestine. With them went Amin Bey and Abdul Hadi, on behalf of the Supreme Moslem Council.
Simultaneously, the New Zionist Organization announced that its Administrative Committee in London had submitted a plan for a travelling Jewish exhibition to the British Ministry of Information.
The plan suggests that the exhibition be held under the auspices of the Ministry of Information. It would present facts concerning Jewish soldiers and police force in Palestine, Jewish services in the North African campaign, Jewish work in Tobruk harbor, Jewish industrial help to the war effort in Palestine, support of the Jewish press throughout the world to the Allied war effort campaign and to the creation of a Jewish army, and Jewish gifts, such as ambulances, field kitchens and food supplies, that have been made to Britain in connection with the war.
