Speaking on the internal developments in American Jewry, as far as Zionist post-war aims are concerned, Dr. Weizmann expressed the belief that 90% of American Jews believe in the justice of the Zionist cause. He emphasized, however, that in his opinion the attitude of American Jewry must be given clear expression, whether through a referendum or a democratically organized Congress of American Jews for Palestine, which, he believes, ought to be one of the immediate aims of American Zionism.

Dr. Weizmann announced that he expects to remain in the United States until Spring, when he plans to return to England. Dr. Weizmann, in the near future, will report to the members of the Actions Committee on further political developments concerning Palestine and his efforts here.
