first week of December, following their release from detention in Cyprus. These are the van-
guard of the more than 75,000 newcomers who are expected to enter the Jewish State in 1918.
According to an immigration blueprint, the detainees in Cyprus and those in the reception
centers in Palestine will be among the first to be integrated into the new State. United Pal-
estine Appeal agencies face the momentous task of rehabilitating and resettling them, and for
the vital aid they look to the Jews of America whose financial support will be recruited

Jewish, Arab Youth at Peace

New JWV Chaplain

RABBI ARYEll LEV of New
York, who has been named

national chaplain of the Jew-
ish War Veterans of the
United States by Col. Julius
Klein, national commander.

That Jews and Arabs can live in peace is patently proven

into a battleground with Jews and-Arabs fighting it out. The
banner reads,."Long live the youth fight for independence
of the colonies."
