special section devoted to building activities in Palestine.
A rough sketch indicates the location of the variou s departments. As a contrast between the old and
new architecture of Palestine, two photographs of the previous landscape are shown.
Anyone who had lived in Pal-
estine in 1933 would have retained
an everlasting impression of that
period. It was the peak year in
the upbuilding of Palestinian
cities and particularly that of
Tel-Aviv. The city, Tel-Aviv, built
on sand dunes, was conquering
new territory. The whole area
with its bustling population was
enveloped in misty clouds of dust.
Within these clouds the rounded
sand dunes were giving birth to
a new city. New buildings, new
streets were emerging with a fan-
tastic swiftness: a wonderful
metamorphosis of land into real
and definite building forms. A
new life was in process of cre-
ation and with it—a new type of
architecture.
It was only natural that the
new architecture in Palestine
should follow along the lines of
the modern European architec-
ture. Immigrants from Europe
brought with them modern living
standards and modern housing re-
quirements. The native Jewish
population was too insignificant
in numbers to exert any influence
as to the new style of architec-
ture which would be most appro-
priate. In the early stages of the
upbuilding,of Palestine, attempts
had been made to introduce a
modified type of the Moorish style
of architecture and the South-
ern Spanish style. It proved to be
unsuccessful. The new flow of
immigrants was too powerful a
factor. There was no time to spare
to stop and evolve styles based
on traditions and history. The tra-
ditions the immigrants had were
little connected with Palestinian
history or faintly so, As a result,
the modern architecture in Pales-
tine stands as a symbol to the
new life being created. There is
not a bit of connection between
the ancient architecture found in
Palestine and the modern style.
There was no transition period.
Future archaeologists will, no
doubt have no difficulty in prov-
ing the fact that some radical
change took place in the life of
the country, a sudden, abrupt
change — an overwhelming con-
trast of new and old.
At this point, it would be neces-
sary to define what is meant by
the term "modern architecture."
Any style of architecture which
expresses modern life can be
termed modern. At a first glance
it may seem to the layman that
the modern style in (any) one
country is similar to that of an-
other, but this would be just as
incorrect as to contend that all
people look alike because they
possess common features such as
eyes, noses, etc. The living mode
of every nation as expressed in
the interior arrangement of every
home will soon manifest itself
in the exterior appearance of the
facades and so become charac-
teristic of that particular coun-
try. True, the styles of each coun-
try can carry similar lines but
this is due to modern transpor-

Palestine as yet hasn't devel-
oped any specific type of architec-
ture, but it will develop it as time
goes on. Styles are not created
in a year or even in a decade for
that matter.
There is one logical reason for
Palestine so readily adopting the
modern European style: it fits in
very well with its oriental at-
mosphere. The fiat roofs, the
square, stuccoed, whitewashed
buildings show up to advantage
against the blue skies.
But together with the worth-
while examples of, modern archi-
tecture which Palestine has pro-
duced in the last few years, there
are also very poor ones. The

ern style attracted to the pro-

had kept the industry compara-
tively free from labor spies and
company unions. Concentrated for
the most part in the large cities,
the industry included a majority
of foreign' born workers who still
remembered socialist ideas learned
in the old countries, and who did
not readily accept false theories of
class collaboration. Throughout
the early history of the garment
unions, its workers showed an un-
derstanding of class relationships
and a dogged militancy; only in
the middle and late twenties did
the disease of Gompersism begin
to enervate the unions' ladership,
weakening it and exposing it to
factional struggles that resulted
in splits and losses of membership.

During the twenties, the union
faced decentralization of the in-

Iron ...eq.., issued the follow-
ing statement:
The situation of the Jews In Cen-
tral and Eastern Europe is des-
perately undermined, disastrously-
ominous and infinitely in o re
fraught with danger than at any
time before. Yet, there is one ray
of consolation amidst the clouds of
darkness. The Jews are determined
to stand their ground and defend
their human right to the last man.
And while Poland now occupies the
center of the anti-Semitic stage,
followed by Rumania and others,
there is a firm conviction that the
arch-enemy upon whom the main
defense war must be waged has
been and remains Nazi Gersiutny.
It is Nazi propaganda more than
anything else that is responsible
for the upheaval in Poland and
elsewhere, As long as Hitler and
his regime persist in agitating and
pouring poison from Berlin there
can be no peace among nations or
races, and no security for the Jews
anywhere in the world.
The more satisfactory are the
results of the anti-Nazi boycott
movement as observed from the
nearer European point of vantage.

German economy is indeed dis-
astrously precarious and the chan-
