The Polish Government is sending a delegation to the French colony of Madagascar, off Southeast Africa, to investigate possibilities of Jewish colonization, it was learned here today.

(The French Government recently offered opportunities for Jewish immigration into four of its colonies, including Madagascar, on a limited scale with the proviso that Jewish organizations help finance it.)
