The first session of the World Zionist Executive meeting was opened here today with the participation of American and Palestine members.
Louis Lipsky, president of the Zionist Organization of America, came to London with Dr. Weizmann especially for the purpose of attending the conference.
Dr. Weizmann reported on his activities and negotiations during his stay in the United States. He gave an account of the negotiations which led to the consummation of the accord in American Jewry and the agreement on the Jewish Agency.
Dr. Weizmann also stated that he understands that the agenda of the Conference of British Colonies, Protectorates and Mandated Territories, which will be held here on May 10, includes the question of preferential treatment for products in mandated territories. It is possible, he said, that Great Britain will grant preferential treatment to Palestine wines and tobacco similar to that accorded the dominions of Great Britain.
