The Jewish Agency for Palestine tonight denied knowledge of any plan for resumption of discussions on Holy Land policy. The visit to Cairo on Tuesday of Dr. Chaim Weizmann, president of the Agency, had no connection with the current Arab discussions in the Egyptian capital, having been arranged some time ago in London with Aly Maher Pasha, chief of the Egyptian Cabinet, the Agency said in a statement.
“The Jewish Agency is in no way associated with the discussions on Palestine now alleged in Arab circles to be taking place in Cairo following the arrival of the Egyptian Ambassador to Britain (Dr. Hassan Nachat Pasha) and has no knowledge of any plan for resumption of the talks on Palestine policy recently concluded in London,” the statement declared.
Meanwhile, meetings of members of the Zionist General Council were arranged in Warsaw and London to review the Palestine situation, in place of a plenary meeting of the council which had been scheduled to be held in Jerusalem. The Warsaw meeting will be held on April 18 with the participation of members from Poland, Rumania, Hungary, Latvia, Finland and Estonia, and also Moshe Shertok and Emil Schmorak, of the Zionist Executive. Zionist leaders from Western European countries will meet in London in around ten days, with Prof. Selig Brodetsky participating in the meeting.
