Professor Einstein Pleased with Dr. Weizmann’s Achievements in Obtaining New Statement: at Last Brit

Professor Einstein, speaking at a banquet given in his honour last night by the Jews of Los Angeles, praised Dr. Weizmann’s efforts in the negotiations with the British Government leading to the issue of the new Government document. At last Britain realises the worth of the Zionist ideal, Professor Einstein said.

The banquet was arranged after several interviews with Professor and Madame Einstein by various representatives of the Jewish community of Los Angeles, who were anxious to arrange a public appearance of Professor Einstein before his own people, and the date was fixed by Professor Einstein himself. The Ambassador Hotel was selected as the scene of the banquet, which was planned to be one of the greatest events in the history of Los Angeles Jewry. Professor Einstein expressed his wish that the banquet should benefit the Palestine cause.
