A cable commending Prof. Albert Einstein and Bernard Shaw for their participation in the Ort Oze banquet in London was despatched by the American division of the Ort today. The message, which was read at the banquet, stated:
“Congratulations to Shaw and Einstein, pillars of strength for the Ort and the Oze, doing such splendid work in Europe among the Jews. Success in this campaign is imperative to meet the present situation.”
The cable was signed by former Judge Jacob Pankin, organizer and for eight years president of the American section of the Ort, which is a society for bettering the economic condition of Jews in Eastern Europe.
