Reel 107 Zionism-Palestine 1916, 1937-1938, 1941
General Zionist correspondence, August - September, 1938, continues on reel 107.
Letters on the problems of European Jews fleeing Nazism, plus copies of Brandeis
memorial meetings held in Palestine, October, 1941, are found. There are also papers
marked "confidential," with reports and diary entries of M. Shertok, of the Jewish
Agency, on his work in Palestine; letters from Felix Frankfurter, Stephen S. Wise, and
Robert Szold on the impact of the 1937 Royal Commission's recommendation for
partition of Palestine; and 1938 reports from the Jewish Agency to the Palestine
Partition Commission, with material for the proposed partition within the Palestinian
mandate. The reel ends with correspondence from Robert Szold and Robert D.
Kesselman, of the Palestine Endowment Fund, on financing current projects, and with
one folder of accountant's reports, July - September, 1916, for the fledgling Provisional
Executive Committee for General Zionist Affairs, the Sons of Zion and the Mizrachi
Bureau. (Boxes Z/P 69-2f/2h, 70, 71, 72-1a)
