Premier Leon Blum, receiving a delegation of American Jewish labor leaders en route home from Palestine, emphasized today his deep interest in Jewish aims in the Holy Land.

Colonial Minister Marius Moutet also received the delegation. Discussing France’s offer of colonies for Jewish settlement, he said the matter was being studied and expressed the hope that substantial results would be realized.

The French ORT held a reception for the group. The delegation was given a reception last night by the French Socialist Party.
