"It was indeed with very deep and genuine satisfaction that we in London learned that Canadian. Hadassah (the Canadian Federation of Wizo) was contemplating the setting up of a Children's village in Palestine. As you know,
our Wizo Executive in Palestine was at the very time discussing this very scheme and had indeed already taken up  this proposal with the Jewish Agency. This telepathy of thought and action seemed to me a very striking symbol of the growing role of Wizo as a living and vital link between the women of Hadassah and the diaspora. The whole development of Wizo  beyond  the  shadow of a doubt does not merely consist of a group of Federations or an aggregate of members but is a creative movement  through which flow living ideas radiating from ite central focal point in Eretz Israel."
The Henrietta Szold Forest Fund tea will be held at the home of Mrs. M. Groberman on Wednesday, April 25th.
Red Cross
• NEW YORK (WNS) -> The Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), meeting in convention here last Sunday at Hotel Astor, appealed for a settlement on the question of
Palestine.
One appeal was made directly to the forthcoming United Nations coriference at San Francisco, Tirg-ing the settlement of Jewish refugees within the countries represented.
Another resolution asked President Roosevelt to issue the necessary directives to "make the administration of the nation's immigration laws.less technical and more humane, to the end that as many families as possible may be reunited." The President also was urged to use his good offices to mduce Great Britain to revoke the White Paper restricting Jewish settlement in Palestine.
Throughout the three-hour meeting speaker after speaker declared that Palestine offered the best and perhaps the only solution to the Jewish refugee problem. Most of them attacked the policy of Britain in administering its mandate over Palestine and for failing to set up a Jewish commonwealth there.
Especially bitter was Representative Emanuel Celler of Brooklyn, who charged that President Roosevelt and the Democratic Administration had gone back on pre-election pledges to support the creation of a Jewish homeland in Palestine.

A report on the revival of com-mimal and religious life among the Jews presently in Vibia was given here by Nison jAnelik, |a young clerk who survived the massacre of most of Vilna's Jews. Nison, who arrived here last week, said that there |are [about 4,000 Jews in Vihia and that two synagogues are fimctioning there: the Eolshoi Synagogue on Nemetski Street and the Choral Synagogue on Zavalna Street.
