JERUSALEM — The current
year will mark a new record in
immigration if the trend during
the past few months continues,
Moshe Sharett, chairman of the
Jewish Agency Executive, de-
clared here Tuesday.
Addressing the current meet-
ing of the Zionist Actions Com-
mittee, the supreme ruling body
of the World Zionist movement
between Z i o n i s t congresses,
Sharett said that the composi-
tion of immigration into Israel
is now much more balanced and
healthy comprising more young
people.
While in the work of ab-
sorption the Agency enjoys
the partnership of the govern-
ment institutions, Sharett
Said, However, that the Jew-
ish Agency's staff stands first
in line on the basorption front
while the process of aliyah
was entirely their responsi-
bility.
Since the establishment of
the State, he declared, over
1,000,000 newcomers have been
absorbed and no immigrant was
left without shelter even for a
single night.
He cautioned the Actions
Committee delegates, however,
that while for the time being
the rate of absorption was catch-
ing up with the immigration
flow, it was feared that the rate
of construction of housing units
to accommodate the newcomers
would not.
Sharett paid high tribute to
the devotion of the Jewish
Agency's absorption workers

who, he said, remained calm
under the most trying condi-
tions. He expressed pride in the
special youth aliyah enterprise
which had . absorbed 4,000
youths from 40 countries during
the past year.
The Jewish Agency chairman
reiterated the assurance that
every child whose parents de-
sired religious education re-
ceived it. "We guard this prin-
ciple scrupulously," he de-
clared.
Sharett noted that Israel
also sought the absorption of
young people from the free
countries even though they
remained in Israel for only
two years in order to study
because he felt such young-
sters were likely to return
permanently. "This is a great
educational task," Sharett de-
clared.
Reviewing the work of the
various departments of the Jew-
ish Agency, Sharett stressed the
assistance rendered by the Eco-
nomic Department to immi-
grants from free countries.
Some 5,000 newcomers came
from the free countries of the
West during the past year, he
noted, adding that immigration
from the United States was on
the increase, although still
amounting to only token num-
bers.
Referring to the Agency's
network of Ulpanim, intensive
Hebrew language training
courses, Sharett said that family
Ulpanim had been established
where entire families of new-
comers received instruction to-
gether. He said there were 66
Ulpanim units now in operation.
Emphasizing the need to ex-
pand the network of Jewish
Agency emissaries throughout
the world, Sharett disclosed
that in all of America there
were only four emissaries deal-
ing with immigration.
"In many places," he de-
clared, "The writing on the wall
has alreday appeared, but one is
oblivious to these warnings in
many places of danger."
The Jewish Agency leader
praised the "most splendid
enterprises" of the Agricul-
tural Settlement Department,
which he said were faced
with "gigantic tasks."
Thanking the leaders of the
United Jewish Appeal for their
untiring work, Sharett said,
however, that income lagged
behind the needs and "we must
not at this great moment fail to
supply the means required for
the gigantic task of absorbing
the aliyah which is knocking
at our gates."
Sharett also underscored the
need to widen Jewish education
and here, too, he noted while
much was being done it was just
not enough due to the lack of
means.
The Jewish Agency leader
stressed the imperativeness of
creating immediately in the
United States a central Zionist
organization "without which
one canont conceive of a strong
Zionist movement."
Without such a central Zion-
ist organization, he stressed,
there was also the danger of
assimilation. "W i t h o u t one
movement there will not be a
universal body to serve as a
link between the Jewish world
in the dispersion and Israel,"
he declared.
