This week the New York Times blossomed with a full-page advertisement featuring a cablegram from Chaim Weizmann, president of the Jewish Agency for Palestine: "We appeal to American Jewry to share the undaunted but calm courage of the Jewish community of Palestine and to strengthen their efforts by contributing generously to the funds of the United Palestine Appeal. . . . The Jewish community is behaving admirably despite the trying provocation...
...Lucerne, Switzerland last week gathered 500 Jews from 53 nations, delegates to the 19th biennial World Zionist Congress. With Laborite and Liberal Zionists in the saddle, the Congress elected as its president goateed Dr. Chaim Weizmann, British industrial chemist who was ousted by extreme Right Wingers four years ago (TIME, July 27, 1931). Pleased with this year's record-breaking influx of 60,000 Jews into Palestine, and with the homeland's current business boom, the Zionists clamored for more immigrants, pondered how to head off Great Britain's plan to convene a Palestine Legislature in which...
Most distinguished witness for the prosecution was Dr. Chaim Weizmann, goateed chemist whose Wartime gift to Britain of a process for speeding production of alcohol gained Balfour's promise of a national homeland for Jews in Palestine.

...Weizmann supporters called the Revisionists '"Hitlerites" during the Congress last fortnight. Keeping obligingly in character, they shouted back: "Red slaves! Go to Moscow!" Impressively they arose during a later debate, walked out of the meeting just as dramatically as Hitlerites walked out of the Reichstag last February. Next day they walked back in, minus Leader Jabotinsky who announced he would take a six-month leave. One Revisionist, Abraham Lang, tore down a blue-&-white Zionist flag because he thought the Congress had "betrayed Zionism's ideals." He was tried last week, suspended from Zionist activities until next December...
