Mr. Louis Marshall, yielding to the urgency of the Commissioners, has re¬ luctantly consented to go to London to attend thc sessions, although the original plan called for a meeting in New York, because of his desire to expedite the work of the Commission which it is hoped will lead to the constimmation of a plan for the extension of the Jewish Agency so as to include Zionists and non-Zionists, as provided in Article IV of the Palestine Mandate.
The Jewish Telegraphic Agency has learned) that upon- the conclusion of the London sessjon of the Jewish Agency Commission, substantial parts of the various reports, which for the first time will present an exhaustive scientific anal¬ ysis of Palestine's economic possibilities and of the work already accomplished there, will be made public.
It may be expected that ^ non-partisan conference of Jewish leadlers in the United State, both Zionists and non- Zionists, will be called for the early fall to receive and act upon the Commission's recommendations.

Big Celebration WiU Mark "Sium Hatorah"
At the East Broad Street Temple
Tomorrow Afternoon
Congregation and Brotherhood Will Participate in Cere¬ monies at Conservative Synagogue—Elaborate Program Has Been Arranged For The Occasion—Over Five i Hundred People Are. Expected to Attend
Inspiring Jewiah Ceremony
A Committee composed of President Leon Nason, Jack L. Feiner, Will Welber, and Ben F. Levinson takes this mean? of inviting the members of the East Broad Street Temple as well as the community at large, to the "Sium Hatorah" which they are arranging for Snnday, May 27th, at 2:30 P, M. in the auditorium.of the Temple. This "Sium" will honor Mr, and Mrs, N. Wasserstrom who have presented a beautiful Scroll to the Congregation.
The presentation of a "Sefer Torah", or a Scroll of the Law to the synagogue, is one of the finest and most inspiring Jewish religious ceremonies. The Rabbis count among the mandatory precepts incumbent upon an Israelite the obligation to write a "Sefer Torah". The King of Israel was required to keep a copy ot the Scroll of the Law near his throne and to carry it into battle. Everyone who passes the Scroll of the Law must kiss the mantle. The unusual care taken in writing a "Sefer Torah" and the costly accessories that go with it are all evidence of the Tcverence and importance with which the Scroll of the Law is regarded,'
While ancient Oriental communities possess Scrolls of the Prophets in addition to the Scroll of the LawJ European Synagogues have, since tlie Middle Ages, provided themselves only with Torah Scrolls, some¬ times also Scrolls of the Book of Esther. A special program has been arranged for the occfision and it will be a real treat as welt as a "mitz¬ vah" to-attend this aHfair,   Be sure you are there;
Remember the lime and tlic place—at the Broad Street Temple— 2:30 P. M.-;-toniorrow (Sunday),
