THE SALE OF THE

YEAR--FOR HOMES!

National Fund to Double Its
Present Israel Lttn,d Holdings

TEL AVIV. (JTA)---Thy policy
of the Jewish National. Fund
towards land-acquisition in the
light of the establishment of the
state of Israel was outlined by Dr.
Abraham Granovsky, head of the
JNF, at a conference marking the
47th anniversary of the founding
of the off-ieial land-pu-chasing in-
strumentality of the Zionist
movement.
Reviewing the immediate prob-
lems of the fund, Dr. Granovsky
emphasized that Israeli military
conquests cannot alter •ownership
of land. - So long as the owner-
ship rights of the Palestine Arabs
who abar-i-loned the land are not
cancelled by Israel," he stated,
"we must respect the Arabs'
property rights."
Outlining the JNF's programs,
Dr. Granovsky said the fund will:
1. Purchase all lands suitable for
colonization, paying the cost of
the land to the Israeli govern-
ment which will in turn be re-
sponsible for reimbursing the
Arabs. 2. Seek to double its pres-
ent land holdings from 1,000,000
to 2,000.000 dunams. for which
reason the JNF adopted a record
budget of $104,000,000 for the He-
brew year 5709.
Jewish , Agency treasurer Dr.
Israel - Goldstein, .addressing the
meeting, announced that the
agency's colonization department
has allocated $29,000,000, of which
the Keren Hayesod will contrib-
ute $18,000,000 and the JNF $11,-
000,000. Dr. Goldstein said that
the agency's colonization program
includes plans for the establish-
ment of 130 new settlements as
well as reconstruction of colonies
damaged during the war.
In a message of greetings to
the conference, President Chaim
Weizmann said: "We have as yet

redeemed only a small part of
Israel's land and have as yet not
reached our entire goal. The tie
between the people and its fund
must be even stronger in the fu-
ture than in the past. Far greater
efforts than we ever made be-
fore are demanded of us so that
great plans for the settlement and
absorption of the destitute immi-
grants from the diaspora can be
fulfilled in peace. I see the func-
tions,of the Jewish National Fund
in the present and in the future
as being much greater than in
the past."
