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."
