THE DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and THE LEGAL CHRONICLE
IMPRESSIVE SCENE FROM PAGER NT "THE ROMANCE OF A PEOPLE"
PALESTINE TOPICS
By JULIAN L MELTZER
THE WORK GOES ON
It is easy to protest; it is diffi-
cult to create: the Yishub and the
Jewry of the world are choosing
the more painstaking task of con-
struction and creation as the suit-
able response to the attitude
adopted towards the expansion of
the Jewish National Home in Pal-
estine.
Palestine Jewry, and behind it
the Diaspora, has in the past gone
through a time of testing, and it
came through the orileal with fly-
ing colors. But this time it is
faced with a far greater proli
len:, a more burning purpose, than
the normal extension of its undo-
taking; it must now deal with the
problem of German Jewry—and
immediacy is a factor in the sit-
uation.
To those of us who live in Pal-
estine, and have done so since the
early days of the British occupa-
tion—before even the Mandate
was formally granted to Great
Britain, each paSsing day sharpens
the realization that, above all, the
work must go on; and it is going
on. Palestine Jewry is contribut-
ing increasingly to the Jewish Na-
tional Fund, to the Keren Ilaye-
sod, and to the other permanent
and emergency funds. A total of
il2,000 was raised for German-
Jewish relief, and the plans
worked out by the Joint Commit-
tee set up by representatives of
all institutions and elements of
the Yishub have been mainly con-
structive. Now comes the news
that our neighboring Jewries are
not to be left behind in the de-
termined bid for a greater Home-
land. Alexandria Jewry has con-
tributed £15,000 for the establish-
ment of a German-Jewish settle-
ment on J. N. F. land set aside
for that purpose in Wadi Ilaw-
areth, while Cairo Jewry has
pledged £8,000 for a similar sized
village (50 families) near Petah
Tikva. The Mizrachi Organiza-
tion and the General Zionists are
