Altogether the unions have total
membership of 100000 heads of fami-
lies. corresponding to about 100000

If the general federation Of these
fourteen unions is accomplished, it is
proposed to establish central bank
at Belgrade. This is considered the
most practical effort yet made to re-
establish credit in Jugoslavia. The
new federation would sell products
and purchase for all its members, in

Pupils Sought by British.

The school holds high place in
the regard of the native Jews of
Jerusalem, who lengthen its whiting
list with the names of their eager
daughters. I have heard it praised
often by British officials who have
had an opportunity to judge it's grad
yates first hand. When the military
authorities wanted clerks for their
sovernorate and administration head
quarters in the former German hos
pice on the Mount of Olives. the
Evelina de Rothschild girls, because
of their knowledge of English and
their practical training, were the best
helpers available.
The official Zionists in the country,
however, criticise the school because
ii persists in being bilinguaI. Hebrew
and English holding equal status as
mediums of instruction. According
to the Zionist program. Hebrew must
become the prevailing language in
the Jewish schools AS this insti-
tuition is Independent Of Zionist sup

present that it will yield to the He
