Philip Guedalla, well known English novelist and president of the Federation of English Zionists, arrived yesterday on the Majestic. He was accompanied by Mrs. Guedalla.
Mr. and Mrs. Guedalla will spend about three months in the United States, during which time the novelist will deliver lectures on literature in various cities.
When interviewed by the representative of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Mr. Guedalla, informed of the recent announcement by Dr. Weizmann and Mr. Marshall concerning the agreement on the formation of the Jewish Agency, expressed satisfaction with this development. “The agreement between Marshall and Weizmann will certainly reflect favorably on the entire Zionist movement throughout the world and particularly on the Zionist movement in England,” he stated. ” I am not fully informed concerning the problems of the Zionist movement in America, but I am not in agreement with those who are opposed to the extension of the Jewish Agency. To me it is clear that the Weizmann-Marshall agreement is of great historic value and will lead to great achievements for Zionism.” he declared.
