Although the majority of the directors of the contemplated company are to be Britishers and Palestinians, prominent representation will be accorded to Americans.
The American members of the board of directors will include Felix M. Warburg and Bernard Flexner, as vice-chairman and chairman respectively of the Palestine Economic Corporation; Israel Brodie and Edward Friedman, representing an American group which has subscribed toward the company’s capital.
