Dr. Chaim Weizmann, president of the World Zionist Organization and of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, today in London hailed Dr. Abba Hillel Silver’s election as co-chairman of the American Emergency Committee for Zionist Affairs “as an event fraught with significance for our cause at this critical moment when the Zionist world looks to America and American Zionism for political support.”
Cabling his congratulations to Dr. Silver, who was also elected chairman of the executive committee of the Emergency Committee, Dr. Weizmann said: “I am confident that you will place unreservedly at the disposal of the cause your great gifts and the qualities of vision, courage and statesmanship which you possess and which the movement requires.”
