N ow . 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." Council of Jewish Women Sets History's Largest Budget - The largest budget in the his- tory of the Nai.ional Council of Jewish Women—$551,500—to pro- vide an expansion of the organ- ization's services at home and abroad in 1949, was announced by Mrs. Joseph M.
