Dr. Chaim Weizmann, president of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, today revealed that he has received “fresh first-hand assurances of great possibilities existing, under suitable political and economic conditions, of settling on land, in industry and in trade of a large number of our people.”
At the same time, Dr. Weizmann emphasized that “to achieve statehood and enable the Jewish people to live a life of freedom in their ancient home, we shall need united efforts of the Jews in Palestine and of Zionists the world-over.”
Dr. Weizmann’s statement was sent from Jerusalem to the annual conference of the Zionist Federation of Britain which opened here last night in the presence of 526 delegates and several hundred guests. Messages to the conference were received from Zionist leaders in the United States, Canada and Palestine.
