It has been one of the bright spots in the difficult task of the Allied forces in the Middle East that they were able to draw upon the high degree of skill which our young men have acquired. Not only in Palestine have they been manufacturing innumerable com- modities to meet the army needs, as varied as textile for army clothing and crystals for radio transmission and land mines for use against the enemy, but they have been asked to serve so far afield as Eritrea, where they have been doing skilled work in air- craft plants and in Abadan in southern Persia in the very up- to-date oil refinery establishment there. The Yishuv, by persevering in its claim to the right of the Jews to establish a Jewish fighting force, has rendered further great service to the Jewish cause. To- day the slight upon Jewish honor has been removed by the estab- lishment of a Jewish brigade group of some 8,000 young men. This group of Jewish young men, mainly from Palestine, are the first who have been set up in this war to take the field against the great enemy of our people as a self-contained, fully equip- ped, Jewish fighting unit. They will fight under their own Jewish flag. commanded by Jewish offi- cers in the Hebrew language, and all the members of this Jew-, ish fighting force will proudly bear the emblem of the Shield of David on their arm. Prepare for Peace The Jewish Agency in Palestine has been actively engaged in pre- paring plans for the future of the country and our people. The main problems will be to arrange for the adjustment of our war- time economy to peacetime re- quirements with the minimum dis- location possible, to lay the basis for the absorption of large num- bers of new immigrants into agriculture, for the industrial de- velopment which will be neces- sary to provide for the needs of the growing Jewish popula- See TOMORROW—Pag e 11 SEASON'S GREETINGS!
