Dr. Stephen S. Wise, as president of the Zionist Organization of America, said today in a statement on the death of Jacob de Haas that he “won for himself a place of honor and distinction in Zionist history” and that, although he supported the Zionist-Revisionist Organization in recent years, he was one of the “devoted furtherers and upbuilders” of the Zionist movement.
Dr. Wise expressed the hope that Mr. de Haas’ “earthly remains shall be interred in Eretz Israel, which he loved with all his heart and which he served with power and utter devotion throughout forty years.
