Hartzfeld Says JNF Is Instrument
For Instilling U.S.-Zion Kinship
The imperative need for linking
Palestinian and American Jew-
ries and the importance of the
Jewish National Fund as the in-
strument for strengthening the
ideal of state-building were out-
lined at a luncheon meeting on
Feb. 19, at Hotel Statler, by Abra-
ham Harzfeld of Jerusalem, mem-
ber of the JNF World Executive
and colonization expert of the
Jewish Agency. William Hordes
presided at the luncheon meeting.
Mr. Harzfeld, who was in De-
troit to address the Gewerkshaf-
ten rally that night, declared that
all Palestinian efforts are inter-
linked. He described the pro-
gress in Palestine during the 35
years of his residence there and
said that it is necessary to go
back another 35 years—to the
days when Yesod HaMaale strug-
gled for its existence—fully to
understand the problems.
"Without the stubborn deter-
mination of pur people, our
achievements would have been
impossible," he declared. "We
now have 253 Keren Kayemeth
(JNF) colonies. Half of them
were established in the last 10
years. We continue building,
knowing that tomorrow will re-
quire new efforts. The Keren.
Kayemeth is concerned also with
colonization. Every new point
conquered involves a heavy ex-
pense. We invested $5,000,000 in
the Negev alone—$2,000,000 of
that for water installation alone:"
Declaring that the JNF policy
is non-discriminatory, Mr. Harz-
feld said that the predominance
of labor settlements is due to the
arrival of early imthigrants from
among • Histadrut sympathizers.
He said that the administration
welcomed the 22 Poel Hamizrachi
settlements and the two centers-
of Poel Agudas Israel, and he
denied charges of prejudice by
General Zionists who already
have seven settlements. He ex-
pressed the wish that the latter
had come earlier and had brought
more pioneers.
Emphasizing the need for trad-
itional .JNF collection, he said
that "we must install a spirit of
kinship with Palestine, and the
JNF is the instrument for it."
