The Vaad Leumi, the Jewish National Council of Palestine has cabled condolences in the name of Palestine Jewry to Felix M. Warburg, chairman of the Administrative Committee of the Jewish Agency, over the death of Louis Marshall.
The cable which Mr. Warburg received yesterday reads as follows:
“Knesseth Israel in Eretz Israel mourns the loss of Louis Marshall, one of the leaders of Jewry, who devoted his energy to defending the interests of his nation. His departure immediately after the establishment of the Jewish Agency, the crowning glory of the work of the deceased, and after the disheartening incidents in Palestine, at the time when there is a demand for the banding together of Jewry the world over for the strengthening and expansion of our Homeland, makes the pain in having our leader, Louis Marshall, taken from us, ever so hard to bear.”
