The Soviet Government would not welcome a commission of foreign experts to investigate the territory of Bureya, allocated for Jewish colonization work, Samuel Weizman, brother of Dr. Chaim Weizmann, stated in a press interview here.
Mr. Weizmann is a member of the administrative board of Ozet, the society for settling Jews on the land, which is sponsoring the Bureya plan. The suggestion that a foreign experts committee proceed to Bureya has been made repeatedly in the Jewish press in Latvia.
