Before sailing for Palestine last night on the Acquitania, Mrs. Samuel W. Halprin, national president of Hadasah, the Women’s Zionist Organization, said that the Palestine government’s restrictions on immigration constitute one of the major problems of the Zionist movement today. Mrs. Halprin has been summoned to a meeting of the Actions Committee of the World Zionist Organization to begin in Jerusalem March 25.
The committee, which will meet in Palestine for the first time in Zionist history, will consider action toward obtaining government sanction for larger Jewish immigration into Palestine. The committee is the interim governing body in world Zionist affairs between the biennial meetings of the World Zionist Congress.
