The latter touched me profoundly for their fine spirit of idealistic enthusiasm and helpfulness. I find in them promise of inestimable good. My resultant conviction is that American Jewry must back these endeavors spiritually and materially. What I would say with re- gard to what I beheld in Palestine, espe- cially under the directive influence of the Keren Hayesod, is that the confirmation of England's cession of Palestine to the Jews is a call to all Jewry no matter what they believe with regard to what is called Zionism. ___, CALLS KEREN HAYESOD MOST IMPORTANT FOR HOLY LAND In the three domains of industry, educa- tion and religion our people may be able to offer to the world a stimulating example of Jewish life in the ancient land of Israel. The most important of the beneficent agencies which are aiding the Holy Land, because the largest both in supporters and funds, is the Keren Hayesod, an international Jewish or- ganization. So many of the activities re- referred to are financed by it, thus further- ing the welfare of the new settlers. It de- serves the generous support of all Jews apart from their views on Zionism.
