Weizmann Interviewed onlew Executive

Special to "THE JEWISH PKESS".

New York, July 13.—Mrs., Mary Fels, Zionist and, philanthropist, in a statement in London following her return from Palestine said: "A great deal of money could have been saved and many grievous mistakes avoided if the Zionist organization had made greater use of the knowledge and experience of the men on the spot. I was distressed beyond measure to find that the money we raised with such labor and self-sacrifice in America had not produced greater results in Palesine." '. Following is her statement: • "Palestine is inevitable the Jewish homeland. It is an .impious thought to suggest otherwise. The country calls for our people, and' those who go there,cannot fail to be.stimulated and inspired. "The thing that filled me. with dismay," said Mrs. _Feis, "was the fact that the young Palestinians were leaving the country. The explanation was that no land was available whereon they could set up for themselves and continue their father's work. They are the best forces in Palestine. That made me decide that the land I proposed to purchase should be offered to the young. Palestinians in the. first place, and then/ to some Dutch colonists, in whom my friends, Mr. Van Vriesland, is interested, and to a goodly number of. Chajiilzim.
