Zionist groups in all parts of the country will hold protest meetings and rallies to protest British Prime Minister Eden’s proposals to “appease Arab dictators at the expense of Israel’s territory” on January 30, the day Sir Anthony arrives in Washington to begin conferences with President Eisenhower, the Zionist Organization of America announced here today.

January 30th has been set aside as a “Day of Mobilization.” in a proclamation by Mortimer May, ZOA president, which urges American Jews to rally mass support for security measures for Israel. “Let an appeal go out to the leaders of our country to reject any proposal to despoil Israel of her inheritance, whittle down her strength and leave her to the mercy of her enemies,” the proclamation declared. “Let the voice of our people be heard, so that justice be done to the State of Israel and the honor of the United States upheld.”
