The All-Palestine Conference of the Agudath Israel Party was opened here last night. The Conference Hall of the Agudath Israel was filled with delegates and guests when the session opened.

Rabbi Horowitz was elected Chairman and Rabbis Sonnenfeld and Kliatzkin, Honorary Presidents. Rabbi Blan, the Director of Agudath Israel in Palestine, read a number of messages of greeting received by the Conference, including one from Chief Rabbi Jacob Meir.

The Conference addressed a farewell message to Lord Plumer, the retiring High Commissioner, in which reference is made to the Jewish Communities Ordinance enacted during his period of office, and thanks are expressed to Lord Plumer for the opportunity given by the Ordinance to every Jew to leave the official Jewish community.
