TEL AVIV (JPS-Palcor)—The British government was

called upon to come to a new agreement with the Jews
respecting the Jewish National Home in Palestine in the
same way as it has made agreements with her other allies
for the postwar period, it was urged by Moshe Shertok,

political chief of the Jewish

rally held here to launch Pales-
tin's own campaign for the
Palestine Foundation Fund. Mr.
Shertok declared that. the White
Paper, still governing British
policy in Palestine, had "de-
stroyed mutual accord and
trust."
This was the keynote of his
address at the Yishuv Zionist
rally which had all the earmarks
of a "little Congress" and was
referred to in those terms by the
various speakers on the pro-
gram, which dealt with the po-
litical, economic, agricultural
and military problems and fu-
ture of the Jewish National
Home.
Sent 28,000 to Front
The conference was attended
. by thousands of delegates and
.visitors and leading personalities
of Palestine Jewry. Many lead-
ers famous for their World
Zionist Congress appearances
participated in the sessions.
"Already we have sent almost
20,000 soldiers, women and
auxiliaries into the front and
this effort is going forward. We
require the co-operation of the
military and political factors
which are responsible for Pales-
tine and the Middle East." Mr.
Shertok declared.
Mr. Shertok concluded by
emphasizing that the Keren
Ilayesoi:1 is the fundamental in-
strument for political action and
"our ability to attain practical
achievement."

that in the three years of the
war, the aggregate Jewish capital
that entered Palestine was about
$60.000,000 and of that amount
the national funds and institu-
tions accounted for some $20,-
800.000.
Dr. Aaron Barth. who re-
viewed the sources of the Zionist
budget and stressed the con-
tinual increase of the Keren
Hayesod income from Palestine
every year, pointed out that the
Keren Hayesod is asking Pales-
tine Jewry for the record sum
of $400,000.
