Jews in Palestine welcomed the announcement made here today by Dr. J.L. Magnes that a committee to study Arab-Jewish relations has been formed in America by the Hadassah under the guidance of Mrs. Edward Jacobs, one of the Hadassah leaders and the only woman member in the executive of the Jewish Agency for Palestine.
Dr. Magnes made his announcement in the course of an address which he delivered at an Emergency Conference of the Hadassah committee in Palestine. He reported that the Hadassah has opened health centers for Arabs in Tiberias and in Zemach, and that a joint Arab-Jewish health center will soon be established by the Hadassah in the Huleh district to serve the entire population in the vicinity. The Hadassah will also open a girls’ secondary professional school for 300 to 400 pupils, as the beginning of a contemplated network of professional schools for girls in Palestine, Dr. Magnes stated.
