Jewish relationship • in Eretz
Yisroel and the possibility of
solving the difficulties which
prevail.
Discusses Histadrut
The Histadrut was discussed
by Abraham Cohen of the Jew-
ish Community Council, and a
national Habonim leader; and
Leon Kay, chemical engineer and
well-known Zionist, gave a re-
view of the development of in-
dustry and agriculture in the
Yishuv and the steps which have
been taken to increase the ab-
sorptive capacity of the country.
The concluding sessions, led by
Mr. Wurm, were based on a
study of the Jewish governmen-
tal structure of the Yishuv and
the political developments which
are effecting the status of Pales-
tine in particular and Zionism in
general.

of Poale Zion, Farband, Pioneer
Women and League for Labor
Palestine. Its program is direct-
ed at fostering the spirit of Cha-
lutziut and instilling in American
Jewish youth the tradition of de-
votion to the cause of service to
Jewry both in Eretz Yisroel and
in the communities in which they
dwell.
