would be barred from immigrat-

ed by the American Consuls
abroad under present regulations
without eliminating or changing
the German quota.

V-E Day, 100,000 Jewish men, women and chil-
dren who survived in the Nazi death camps, are
still behind barbed wires awaiting their freedom.
Their liberation and resettlement in Palestine is
the Zionist post-war aim and the purpose of a
$20,000,000 eland acquisition and reclamation pro-
gram formulated by the Jewish National Fund at

the "Call of the Land" conference held last week
in Jerusalem.
The above montage graphically illustrates the
two phases of the task. In the inset (upper
righthand corner) is seen a group of Jewish
survivors from Europe, still clad in their death
camp raimant with the yellow badge on their
backs, stepping on the soil of freedom after land-
.ing in the Jewish National Home. To the left
are recent immigrants rehabilitated in a pioneer
training camp, tending the soil in one of the
42 new colonies established on • the land of the
Jewish National Fund • during the war period.
