JEWISH NATIONAL FUND ROSH
HASHONAH (NEW YEAR) MESSAGE

By DR. ISRAEL GOLDSTEIN, President

To our enslaved victim of the
Nazi terror, to the heroic martyrs
whose spirit not a thousand
ghetto walls can destroy, we, their
fellow-Jews, send our fraternal
greetings for the New Year 5703.
To our comrades, the builders
and defenders of the Jewish Na-
tional Home, whose frontiers they
are protecting, the Jewish Na-
tional Fund of America extends
its warm, hearty greetings.
5702 was the blackest year in
the long history of our suffering
people. We have lost myriads of
the finest of our manhood in the
concentration camps, in the ghet-
tos and on the battlefields. In
this war Israel stands as an aged
tree in a storm—battered, but
not broken. The one great hope
is the sustaining faith that burns
in our hearts that the victory
of the United Nations may bring

the final emancipation of the Jew-
ish people.
In the face of war and devasta-
tion, economic dislocations and
threatening invasion, the work for
the redemption of the land in the
Jewish National Homeland in
Palestine carried on with a gun
in one hand and a plough in the
other. Our pioneers have withstood
the storm. They are preparing
for the Sixth Alivah.
The night may be dark, but
they see the promise of dawn in
the vision of a Zion Redeemed.
It is in this spirit of indestruct-
ible faith in our blessed America,
in the future of democracy and
in a reconstituted Jewish Common-
wealth that, as we hear the call
of the Shofar, we hear the foot-
steps of redemption. An end to
this suffering must come, and in
a new world order the Children

The New Year 5703 bids us,
American Israel: CARRY ON!
We must provide help for the
suffering and carry forward the
great task of preparing for the
Peace. As we redeem the soil of
Palestine, we become redeemed.
From Ertz Israel comes the mes-
sage: "Despair not, Zion will be
redeemed and Jerusalem rebuilt,
and the People of Israel will
achieve complete salvation."
In this spirit of unshakable
faith, we send our greetings for
a Happy New Year.

"Recognized Place" for
Jews Among United Nations
Urged by Jewish Conference

NEW YORK (WNS) — In a
resolution addressed to President
Roosevelt, Prime Minister Church-
ill and other Allied leaders, the
Jewish National Workers' Alliance
at the closing session of its three-
day national conference, appealed
"to the conscience of America,
England and our gallant Allies to
recognize the Jewish people in the
community of the United Na-
tions."
Pointing out that the treatment
of the Jews in Europe by the
Nazzis today is distinct from the
plight of the other peoples of the
occupied countries and that in
the post-war world special con-
sideration wil be given the Jew-
ish problem, the resolution af-
firmed "that the nations fighting
for the Four Freedoms and the
principles of the Atlantic Charter
for all, have a duty to end also
the age-old anomalous position of
the Jewish people; freedom and
civic rights for the individual Jew
are not enough, the Jewish peo-
ple must he considered as a cor-
porate entity and in that spirit the
Jewish problem must be attack-
ed." The resolution stated fur-
ther that "the leaders of the Unit-
ed Nations must appreciate the
eagerness of the Jews to share in
the war not as individuals only
but as a people."
"The recent announcement that
a Palestinian regiment would be

formed, while a long step forwaN ,
i s
not enough,"the t(.solution
maintains. "It is high time to st op
playing appeasement polities i s
the Near East and to in ,
ept as
full partners those who art. will.
ing to lay down their lives !o r the
United Nations' cause."
The conference approved it cam-
paign for $350,000 for wa i
relief
in Europe and Palestine, and for
American welfare and war agen-
cies.

Our best wishes for a
happy New Year to the
entire Jewish com-
munity . .

So far we have discussed the
•
influence of the war on agricul-
ture and industry only. But there
are also various classes of people

engaged in commercial occupa-
tions, clerks, etc., for whom the
war has undoubtedly brought

about an increase in employment.
Palestine is an important transit
station for soldiers. The Army

is a great consumer and the num-
ber of clerical forces required by

the army is very appreciable for
such a small country. The result
is the present absence of unem-
ployment. On the other hand,

Contractors are in a partic-

Government and army have placed

with them orders running into

that Solel Boneh, the contracting
company of the Histadruth (Gen-
eral Federation of Jewish Labor)
Lc Shono "Fovo Tikosevu--A Happy New Year
has succeeded in securing the
greater .part of these contracts.
The company employs an average
front
of 7,000 hands, and is reaping
considerable profits, for within a
short period it has acquired two
important though idle concerns,
namely, a glass factory and by
far the greatest foundry in the
country. Recently the Sold Boneh
has begun activity, as Govern-
8953 TWELFTH STREET
ment contractors, also beyond the
borders of Palestine.
Summarizing the above a hope-
ful picture ensues.
The first years Of the war
have, despite their paralysis of
12054 DEXTER BLVD.
Palestine's premier-citrus-industry,
given a fillip to the country's"
industrial development as a
whole. Rural settlements, both
old and new, of every form, have
endeavored to increase agricul-
tural production, in order to sup-
Le Shono Tovo Tikosevu—A Happy New Year
ply products hitherto imported,
and to provide for the needs of
the local population as well as
of the soldiers stationed in the
country.
This agricultural expansion will,
it is hoped, be maintained even
after the armistice, for it is of
the greatest significance. As a
result, hitherto poor settlements
have found their feet as it were,
so that they have been able appre-
ciably to raise their standard
of living and housing, and also
to admit new members. These
advances have been brought about
9047 TWELFTH STREET
by steady improvements in the
methods of cultivation, better
seeds are used, hitherto waste
land is being afforested, better
and cheaper water installations
are utilized. In short the yield
per head is being constantly in-
creased, so that the country is
becoming more and more self-
supporting and capable of with-
standing competition. It is to be
hoped, too, that after the war
the country will be better pre-
pared to enter into competition
with cheaper imports.
At the same time Palestine is
being transformed into an in-
In appreciation of your past good-will and

far from being adverse to the
country's interests.
Even if not all the undertak-
ings should survive in peace
time economy, nevertheless the
foundations that are being at
present laid appear to be pre-
paratory to a magnificent econ-
omic structure.
There can be no doubt at pres-

Moreover, what has been begun

can only be completed provided
there is a steady and large immi-
gration. Will the political powers

permit the homeless of today to

necessary financial means be
placed at our disposal? These are
the salient questions at the
moment.
