(Acme Photo) Here to Further Ambitious Palestine Settlement Program—Robert Briscoe, the only Jewish member of the Irish Parliament, shown with his wife in their hotel in New York where they arrived recently for the purpose of enlisting American backing of the plan sponsored by the New Zionist (Revisionist) Organization to remove 1,000,000 Jews from Nazi Ger many and elsewhere in Europe to Palestine within two years, this being, however, only the first step in transferring 6,000,000 in all to Palestine over a ten-year period. Before coming here the Jewish-Irish Deputy visited government heads of Poland and Romania with a view to securing their approval of this project which is to be submitted to President Roosevelt and Secretary of State Cordell Hull before undertaking a coast-to-coast tour of the United States to win public support and create committees in key cities. On his previous American appearance in 1923, he spoke for the Irish Republican movement, his zeal in this cause winning a seat for him in the Irish Parliament in 1927 and since.
