Made Application to En-

Sunday, Alarell 2)), has been set aside by Detroit Jewry as a
general holiday to celebrate with appropriate features and with na-
tional pride the twenty-fifth anniversary of the foundation of the
Jewish National Fund at the fifth Zionist Congress held at Bezel,
Switzerland.
In conjunction with all our people the world over, we are going
to demonstrate our rejoicing over the eventful day of the creation
of this fund, whose lofty aim is to redeem the soil of Palestine as
the everlasting property of the Jewish people.
In glancing over the results achieved by the Keren Kayemeth
ISYisroel in the first quarter of a century since its inception, we are
fully justified in being filled with sentiments of gratitude over its
comparative success. Out of meager. petty contributions, in the
form of National Fund stamps, boxes and small cash contributions.
a sum aggregating $7,000,000 has been collected up to the end of
September, 1926. With the passing of years there has been a steady
growth noticeable in the collections of the National Fund so that
the income in the fiscal year ending Oct. I, 1926, amounted to about
$1,250,000.
The funds thus obtained made possible the acquisition by the
Jewish National Fund in Eretz Yisroel of 25(1,000 (howls land
(about 62,500 acres), on which it has established, in co-operation
with the Koren Hayesod, over 30 agricultural settlements and
suburban garden-cities.
The Jewish National Fund helped substantially in the upbuilding
of Tel Aviv, that exclusively Jewish city that is the pride of our
people. It also purchased the land of the Amek (Valley of Jezreel),
which has been transformed into a blooming garden. Even the Ile-
brew University was built on the ground of the Jewish National
Fund. The •halutzim are also employed to improve its land and
to make it fit for cultivation by draining swamps, installing water
supplies, providing irrigation, building roads And no forth.
The jubilee festival of the Jewish National Fund should prove
a signal for new activity, for greater and more intensive work—for
ever-increasing collections in larger sums, as the Jewish National
Fund is the chief instrument of "bringing back the land without a
people to the people without a land."
I do sincerely hope that all the Jewish organizations of Detroit,
religious, social, fraternal, as well as individuals, will fully appre-
ciate the significance of this extraordinary Jubilee Celebration and
that they will all participate in the festivities at the Arena Gardens
On March 20 at 2 o'clock.
In order to make this day outstanding in the annals of the De-
troit Jewish community, I would urge all organizations or indi-
viduals, who have the means of so doing. to perpetuate their names
by inscribing themselves in the Golden Book of the Jewish Na•
tional Fund.
