Welcome!

The Jews of America will welcome tomorrow the arrival from abroad of a group of Jewish leaders active in all phases in Jewish life. The group consists of Mr. Neville Laski, the president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, Dr. Maurice Hexter, the non-Zionist member of the Jewish Agency Executive in Palestine, Dr. Bernard Kahn, the European director of the Joint Distribution Committee, Dr. Joseph Rosen, the head of the Agro-Joint, and Dr. Louis Oungre, the director of the Jewish Colonization Association.

It is for the first time that the arrival of such a colorful group of leaders coincides. Several of them are coming in connection with the session of the Administrative Committee of the Jewish Agency which opens in New York on December 31. Others come on other missions.

The Jews of America will be highly interested in what these esteemed leaders may have to say. Mr. Laski has just returned from a trip in Poland and Austria. His impressions of the Jewish situation in these two countries will be highly valued by the millions of American Jews. Dr. Bernard Kahn, who is in the midst of Jewish life in Europe, is the best authority on how great is the need for relief, not only in Poland and in Austria, but also in other European countries. Dr. Hexter, the Jewish Agency’s Executive member best known to America—is the person best fitted to give American Jewry the most impartial views on the present situation in Palestine.

Of special interest to American Jewry now is the return of Dr. Rosen. Dr. Rosen is bringing the first authoritative information on Biro-Bidjan. It is his opinion which American Jewry will take as the basis for its attitude towards Biro-Bidjan.

The guests arriving tomorrow comprise a most distinguished group of Jewish leaders. Taken together they combine Jewish leadership in politics, in immigration, in colonization and in all forms of reconstructive relief. American Jewry is only too glad to say to them:—

Welcome!
