The Central Commission for Jewish Colonization will hold a preliminary conference Sunday at the Hotel McAlpin, 34th Street and Broadway, at 3 p.m., for a discussion of plans to form a national organization for Jewish agricultural colonization along cooperative lines.
The Commission has been formed as a result of the widespread demand of various groups throughout the country, seeking ways and means to rehabilitate themselves from the havoc of the depression.
