A meeting of the Palestine Foundation Fund, (Keren Hayesod) held to-day at Radom was forcibly dispersed by the police who employed their swords, and many present at the gathering were beaten, the Yiddish daily “Najer Hajnt” here reports. Zionist circles are indignant, the paper proceeds, adding that the Keren Hayesod meeting which was held at the Corso Hall was attended by 1,500 people. Immediately after the opening speech had been delivered, it explains, a number of people present started a disturbance. The stewards went up to eject the interrupters, but the police insisted that the meeting must be stopped, because of the disturbance. The “Hajnt” claims that last week a number of people in Radom threatened that they would see to it that no Keren Hayesod meeting should be held there.
