Chalet..., Board of Directon of Keren Hayesod.

The task which the Keren Hayesod
meets in Palestine is a tois.f. Id one.
It consists first of maintaining the p
'Ulna's which we have already won,
the existing indispensable institutions
and services, and of developing and
increasing them. The first is, in a
sense, even more important than the
second, for unless we keep intact what
we already have built up, it is im-
possible to build further. It is true
that the work of preserving what is
already in existence lacks the element
of the noel and the spectacular, is
apt t he taken for granted, and its
importance, therefore, minimised.
Economists recognize that the basic
factors upon which the prosperity of

ment ; and, third, stimulating oppor-
tunities for employment by loans to
iodic iduals and labor groups, for the
purchase of tool* or the payment of
rent.
The year 1923, unfortunately, saw
comparatively small increase of about
1,000 in the Jewish population of Pal-
‘.•stine, but this is being rectified y
the large and constant additions of
19.3. Unquestionably, the record of
192:1 is due largely to the fact that
the heron Hayesod was not able to
dispose of larger means for providing
emergency employment and adopting
ether economic measures for meeting
VI temporary depression. We should,
however, not be deceived or depressed

plied to the development of agricul-
tural colonization. This policy has!
now been put into effect.
Marked progress is to be observed
in the development of the Jewish set-
tlements supervised by the agricul-
tural department of the Palestine
Zionist Executive, and maintained by
the Koren Hamad, according to a
survey completed by the department.
The Keren Hayesod is playing a con-
siderable part in the building of these
suburbs. The General Mortgage
Bank of Palestine, in which the Keren
Hayesod has invested about $300,000 e
is advancing loans which are making
possible the construction of houses .
Up to November, 1923, the Mortgage
Bank has made possible the building
of 324 houses in various suburbs in-
cluding Nordia, near Tel Aviv, the
Boruchov quarter near Jaffa, in Tel
Aviv proper, Kirijat Shmuel near
near
Tiberias, Hadar Ilarcarmel
Haifa, Neve Shanan near Haifa, as
well as in many of the colonies. The
work ci!. the Mortgage Bank continues
and its beneficent accomplishments
are only limited by its resources.
The Rutenberg Enterprise.
The enterprise which is vital for
the industrial progress in Palestine,
the Hutenberg concession, has been'
aided by the Keren Ilayesod in var.
ins ways. It was the Keren Hayesod
also which furnished the initial funds:
for the co,iduct of the scientific inves-
tigations which were required in the
initial stage of the enterprise.
