Mr. Israel Cohen's Visit to Shanghai Mr. Israel Cohen, the special emissary to the Jewish communities of India, Australasia and the Far East, who has been sent out by the Central Executive of the- Zionist organization, arrived here yesterday from Hongkong on the T.K.K. 8. Shingo Maru. His mission is a new departure in Jewish national history, and was decided upon in view of Great Britain's acceptance of the mandate for Palestine, the significance of which it will be part of Mr. Cohen's duty to explain.
Mr. Cohen has been an ardent follower of the Zionist movement since the day when its founder, the late Dr. Theodor Herzl, first issued his call to the Jewish people, and for many years has been an active and prominent worker in the cause. He has had an interesting and notable career as journalist and lee turer, and is the author of the two important works, "Jewish life in Modern Times" (1914), which has been acknowledged as a standard work on the subject and "The Ruhleben Prison Camp" (1917), the best and fullest account of the principal British civilian internment camp in Germany.
