CHANCE FOR AMERICAN

DR.. Friedenwald, Returned to Bal

lected by the peace conference to take
mandatory power over Palestine. was
the statement Of DR.. Harry Frieden-
wald, who has just returned to his
home in this city from q seven-month
visit to the Holy Land.
DR.. Friedenwald is one Of the
leaders of the Zionist movement, and
as acting chairman Of its commission
for Palestine he made a thorough
study of conditions in Jerusalem and
other parts of the country following
the fall Of the Turkish regime, which
has kept the land devastated for GEN.
turies.
THE Zionists," he said, have ab-
solute confidence in the intent and
ability of Great Britain to carry out
the Balfour declaration-that is, to
convert Palestine into the Jewish
homeland. Assurances which have
been received leave no question as to
the certainty that this project will
be carried out.

Europe who are determined to take
their money to Palestine for the de-
velopment of agriculture and indus
tries and for the Introduction Of new
undertakings. I also believe that
American Jews will invest capital
there. Just as I was leaving. a group
of twenty men from different parts Of
this country, representing a diversity
of industries, was just entering the
country. And as soon as the indus
trial development gets we'll under
