complex, international situation, espe¬ cially as it relates to Jews and Jewish conditions. Few men living today have his mental equipment, or his opportunity for knowing Jewish life thruout the world. As a tnember of the United States Pogrom Investigating Commis¬ sion to Poland and then as a member of the International Reparations Commis¬ sion in Paris, Berlin and Vienna, Mau¬ rice Samuel came into close personal contact with the leading diplomats of Europe and America.
In the movement for the rebuilding of Palestine, Mr. Samuel occupies a com¬ manding position. In 19'i4, Mr. Samuel went to Palestine at the invitation of Dr. Chaim Wei-imann, President of the World Zionist Organi.nation. Since that time "he has made numerous visits which have supplemented with actual experi¬ ence the intimate knowledge that he has of the historical traditions behind the Jewish effort to rebuild Palestine.
In June, 1929, Mr. Samuel returned to Palestine, where he decided to spend a number of months each year for his lit¬ erary work. It was, however, iu August, 1929, when the tragic,events of the Arab attacks on the Jews overwhelmed Pales¬ tine and shocked the world, that Mr. Samuel, living in Tel Aviv, at once joined the Jewish Self-Defense Corps and took part in resisting the Arab at¬ tacks. Mr. Samuel has recently returned to this country. His vivid description of the events that transpired in Pales¬ tine, and his documented evidence on the situation as regards responsibility for the outbreaks have aroused widespread interest both among Jews and the general world.
Mr. Samuel's experiences in Palestine haye culminated in a book called "What Happened in Palestine," which promises greatly to enhance the literary prestige he gained with his earlier volumes^ "You Gentiles," "I, the Jew," "The Jewish An¬ thology," and other volumes. Knowing that Mr. Samuel was one of the few American Jewish leaders in Palestine during the time of the massacres in the Holy Land, keen interest has been aroused in his account as an eyewitness of the events that transpired there.
