Criticism by the “Jewish Chronicle” of London in an article on February 21st on the chart showing the organization of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, is ridiculed by Felix M. Warburg, chairman of the Administrative Committee of the Agency in a statement to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
Mr. Warburg after having seen the article declared that “if the ‘Jewish Chronicle’ is interested in obtaining true facts they might have asked the London Zionist Organization office about this chart and have gotten information from those Zionists who were delegated to help designate Zionist friends on these different tentative advisory committees. In Zurich, we had such Zionist advisors and we submitted the chart in proof to the Zionist Executive in London and received by mail their recommendations and suggestions.”
The article in the “Jewish Chronicle” entitled “The Mixed Jewish Agency,” had charged that the chart had been issued without the knowledge or consent of the Zionist Executive.
