The Agent and Consul General at Cairo ( Gary) to the Secretary of State
[Received March 31, 6.20 a.m.]
23. Under chairmanship Doctor Weizmann, Zionist Commission to Palestine arrived Cairo a few days ago and will proceed to Palestine next week. I am informed by Doctor Weizmann that by virtue of authority vested in Commission by British Government, [Page 557] they are coordinating and will hereafter administer all measures of relief in Palestine with respect to Jewish community and that all funds for relief of Jews in Palestine should be paid to Jack Mosseri, who will act in Cairo on behalf of Commission.
It is respectfully recommended that as an officially recognized commission is now in charge of situation, all funds from America, whether for individual or general relief of Jews in Palestine, should hereafter be transmitted directly to Jack Mosseri, Cairo, through the intermediary of such Jewish organizations in America as may be determined by American Jews, and not through the Department and this Agency.
