Dr. Cyrus Adler, retiring joint chairman of the Council of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, today telegraphed, on behalf of the Agency, heartiest congratulations to General Arthur Grenfell Wauchope, High Commissioner-designee of Palestine.
In his telegram Dr. Adler gave General Wauchope the assurance of the Jewish Agency’s firm intention to cooperate loyally for the recognition of the Palestine Mandate and expressed the hope that General Wauchope’s term in office would be marked by growing prosperity of the Jewish National Home and of Palestine as a whole.
General Wauchope, who is now commander of northern Ireland, will succeed Sir John Chancellor as High Commissioner on November 1.
