Heller, chairman of the Administrative Committee of the Zionist Organization of America at a protest mass meeting held under the auspices of the Bureau of Jewish Education.

H. Friedland, director of the Cleveland Bureau of Jewish Education, and Samuel Schmidt, editor of “Every Friday”, also spoke. A resolution of protest against British policy in Palestine was adopted.
