The Present

Let each

one e x a m i n e his
thoughts, and he will find them all
occupied with the past and the
future . . . The present is never
our end. The Oast and the present
are our means; the future alone is
our rod. So we never live, but we
hope to live: and, as we are al-
ways preparing to be happy, it
is inevitable that we should never
be so.—Pascal.

JERUSALEM — Israel's exposed
Lebanese border settlements will
be greatly strengthened by means
of a major economic development
and consolidation program which
will cost more than 70,000,000 Is-
raeli pounds ($20,000,000) during
the next five to six years, it was
revealed by Dr. Israel Goldstein,
chairman of the Keren Hayesod
United Israel Appeal, which will
provide a major part of the funds.
The purpose of the new invest-
ment plan for the Lebanese border
area is to consotite and make
economically independent those
settlements located in the most
difficult terrain and most exposed
border position. No plans are en-
visioned during this period for the
creation of new settlements in the
area, Dr. Goldstein revealed. The
funds will be utilized primarily for
increasing fruit orchard and poul-
try production which have proved
to be the economic mainstays of
Israel's hill settlements, such as
those located on the Lebanese
border.
To meet such growing needs,
Keren Hayesod will launch a
fourth emergency appeal in
1970 in the 54 countries where

it is responsible for fund raising
on behalf of Israel (excluding
the United States which is cov-
ered by the United Jewish Ap-
peal). Dr. Goldstein, estimated
that more than $90,000,000 will
be raised by the end of the 1969-
70 fiscal year, representing a

60 per cent increase over the
previous year.

The main beneficiaries of the
new five-year plan will be the 28
settlements situated closest to the
62-mile-long Lebanese border. The
plan, which was submitted by the
Jewish Agency settlement depart-
ment and approved by the Knesset
finance committee, does not in-
clude the many millions more that
will have to be spent by the govern-
ment and the defense forces for
building shelters, security fences,
patrol roads, etc. in order to
strengthen the border settlements'
defense capabilities. It is esti-
mated that some 20,000,000 Israeli
pounds ($5,800,000) will have been
spent for this purpose in 1969
alone. Nor does it include the ini-
tial investment to settle each fam-
ily on the barren and hilly land,
estimated at $17,400,000 per
family, one of the highest figures
in the country.

The new plan does include, how-
ever, the regular annual invest-
ment in developing the area which
!
has increased steadily ever since
the Six-Day War. Calculated on
the basis of all 47 settlements lo-
cated within six miles from the
border (including the 28 in the
five-year plan) this will amount
to $3,480,000 in 1969, marking an
annual rise of $580,000 for the
past three years. Here too the bulk
of the funds are provided by the
major fund raising agencies abroad
(the Keren Hayesod and the UJA)
through the Jewish Agency Settle-
ment Department.

Knesset Expected to Get
$2.8 Billion Budget for '70

JERUSALEM (JTA)—The cabi-
net is expected to present a 10,000,-
000,000 pound ($2,850,000,000) na-
tional budget to the Knesset for
approval shortly.

Although no details were re-
leased, the new budget is esti-

mated to be 10 per cent higher
than the previous budget. The
increase does not correspond to
the increase in national income
but is considered essential to
meet Israel's mounting needs.
Another cabinet meeting on the
budget will be held to decide

how to raise the necessary rev-
enue. Nothing has been an-

nounced yet, but increases in
taxes and certain customs duties
are expected.

Minister Without Portfolio Victor
Shemtov said in a weekend radio
broadcast that the burden on Is-
raeli taxpayers would be increased
350,000,000 pounds ($100,000,000)
this year in new taxes but he said
the government did not plan an
economic slowdown or currency
devaluation.

He said the tax increases were
intended as an anti-inflationary
measure and to refill the state's
depleted treasury. He predicted
that the Muir administration would
take drastic economic measures
during its first 100 days.
