iii America NEW TERRITORIAL Sales Boom Palestine COLONIZATION PLAN BEING CONSIDERED London, (WNS).—That a new Jewfab territorial movement designed to settle hundreds of thousands of Jews from Eastern and Centdal Europe in an undeveloped area has been quietly at work for • some months is revealed by the Jewish Post of London. According to the Post, a committee of prominent Jews, headed by a man once prominent in Zionist affairs, and a committee of non-Jews enjoying- the co-operation of Lord Kobert Cecil and Sir John Simon, British foreign minister,, have been negotiating with Portugal to settle Jews in Angola, Portugal's African colony. . The Post says that parleys with Portugal have reached the stage where that country is prepared to throw open Angola to Jewish colonization under certain conditions which the committee opposes. - The committee is also said to be considering a territory under the British flag and a third site as yet undisclosed. According to the Post, the committee-hopes to get $10,000,000 to finance its undertaking from the Joint Distribution Committee. The sponsors of this movement claim to have the support of James G. MacDonald, League of Nations Higih Commissioiner for German Refugees, but Mr. MacDonald's secretary denied knowledge of the plan. Those interested in the proposed settlement plan say, the Post asserts that.they have no intention of competing with the colonizing efforts of the Zionist Organization but are interested only in finding a place for those Jews whom Palestine, cannot accommodate. . . 1 . .
