President Solomon Goldman of the Zionist Organization of America made the following statement today: “The officers and members of the Zionist Organization of America record their profound sorrow at the passing of Dr. Cyrus Adler, a great leader in American Israel, whose labors for the Jewish people in many fields of endeavor have won for him the universal esteem and admiration of his fellow men. Dr. Adler has made a lasting contribution to the cause of building the Jewish homeland in Palestine by his advocacy and continuous support of the enlarged Jewish Agency for Palestine. His wise counsel and unfailing help will be sorely missed in the many tasks which still confront the Jewish Agency.”
Dr. Stephen S. Wise, president of the American Jewish Congress, sent the following telegram to Dr. Adler’s family: “American Jewish Congress offers you its deepest sympathy upon the passing of your distinguished husband, who devoted his life to the” service of his people and its spiritual life.”
