WHY HISTADRUT
CAMPAIGN?
By Morris Liebermon
•
Why should Histadrut, which
has so matey large and proti-
table enterprises in Israel, con-
duct a special campaign for
funds in the , United States?
It is true that Histadrut, through
its holding company Hevrat Ov-
dim, owns many economic enter-
prises such os Solel Boneh, the
Workers Bank, Homishbir, Tnuva,
etc. All of these enterprises ore
going concerns, and 1.-row a
net profit at the end of the
yeas. However, none of these
economic institutions is a bene-
ficiary of the Histadrut Campaign.
Iri the early days they did receive
subsidies until they become self-
sustaining. Due to their stick-to-
itiveness in hard times as well as
good, these cooperative enter-
prises have become pillars of the
Israeli economy, shoring the eco-
nomic problems of all business
concerns in the country, ranging
from a .shortage Of raw materials
to lack of skilled manpower and
credit limitation's. Yet, within their
scope of work they are contributors,
not recipients, of funds to be
used for social welfare, 'educa-
tional and other non - profit our-
poses, These concerns contribute
out of their earnings to Kupat
Holim, • the training of unskilled
immigrants and other social and
welfare activities. A certain pro-
portion of net income - is assigned
to. the. Histadrut Executive for
general' budget, which includes aid
•
to newly-formed cooperatives for
immigrants, handicapped workers
and war veterans. In 1951, the
Histadrut Executive received the
equivalent of $840,000 from its
economic enterprises, or 8.7 per
cent of its .totol budget. At the
some time, it received over $2,-
919,000 from the campaign in
the United . States and Corrado, or
30 percent of its income. The
rest; abo
ut 60 per cent, came
from membership fees.
The ,:income from the American
campaign is used by Histadrut to
promote its non-profit undertak-
' ings, such as vocational schools,
educational • activities,
health
through Kupot Holint, youth and
sports activities, labor exchanges,
cooperative houSing schemes, and
port , of the. Moetzet Hapaalot bud-
get for aid to working mothers
Onel.thei r children..- .
It shdlild be borne in mind: that
the Hisfodrut enterprises do not
belong' fo' individuals who may
reap enormous profits for them-
. SelVes.; The public 'control
of
these, - UndertakingS enables -..the .:
Utiliiation •Of surplUS income for
new pioneering efforts without re-
gard to profit, in places like Beer-
sheba and Elath. The Histadrut
cooperatives perform a pioneering
duty of vital national significance,
developing-60W fields Of employ-
ment and expanding the economic
and social.horizons of Israel.
Thtile is no contradiction between
the'sucCess
Histodrut in many
fields_ and its urgent 'need • for
support in others, just as the State
of Israel itself has made remark-
able progress yet desperately needs
financial assistance in this criti-
col period.
With its vast medical net-
work geared to serve
1,000,00o
Israeli during 1953, KU-PAT
of Histadrut will be
responsible for guarding the

health of two-thirds of the
entire population of the
country. To render this vital
