Dr. B. Weinert, of Switzerland, well-known representative of the Jewish National Fund in Europe, is at present visiting Canada, where he intends spending several months, for the purpose of strengthening the work of the Jewish National Fund in this Dominion.
Dr. Weinert is well known in Jewish circles throughout Europe, as one of the leaders of Swiss Zionists. He has played an important role in the organization of the Zionist movement among students in Switzerland, during the war, being one of the first students to obtain his degree of doctor of philosophy, at the University of Zuricb, by choosing as the topic of his thesis, “The Political Zionism from 1898-1904.”
Since his student days, Dr. Weinert has been actively connected with this movement doing work for the Jewish Telegraphic Agency in Europe, the Jewish Colonial Trust and especially the Jewish National Fund. This is the first time that Dr. Weinert has come to this continent. Arrangements have been made to have him visit the capital cities of the Dominion.
