WarahIp Repairs.

Over and above the great activity
Of the British yards in building new
warships, particularly destroyers. and
the construction of merchant ships. an
enormous amount Of time and labor
has to be devoted to repairs. In re-
cent speech Sir Eric Geddes said:
~During one month the number Of war
vessels which needed repairs was
nearly 1,OOO-that 10. in addition to the
1,1OO merchant ships-and that was by
NO means an abnormal month. Since
the beginning Of the war $1,000 war
vessels, including patrol craft and
mine sweepers, have been docked or
placed on the ways, and these figures
do not include repair work done to the
vessels Of our allies"
Add to this the arming of the vast
feet of British merchant vessels. and
We have some conception Of the enor-
nous task Of shipbuilding. equippine
and repairing carried on BY the British
admiralty.

PREPARATION WORK IN RUSSIA
FOR THE REBUILDING OF
PALESTINE.

\rIoW hepoTI ny MI. DoIio Noiu-
berg, Chairman of the Central Com
mittee of the Zionist Organization
in Russia.)
In January, 1918, Society for
the Economic Revival Of Palestine"
was formed in Petrograd 1t had
three departments - Agricultural,
Technical and Financial-each man.
ned by specialists, and its aims were:
~ Investigation of the economic pos
sibilities of Palestine; (2) Technical
analysis of projects and plans for the
building up of Palestine; and (3) The
formation of a series of industrial
and commercial companies for the
development of various sides of econo-
mic life in Palestine.
Unfortunately the activity of this
Society did not last more than a few
months, owing to the attitude Of the
Boishevik Government to the repre-
sentatives of the bourgeoisie, and to
the naturalization of banks. The
work had to be abandoned, as practi-
cally all the members of the Society
had to flee for their lives, and in the
second half of 1918 it's work was re-
duced to practically nothing. But
during it's short existence the Society
called into life the following under
takings:
IA Company (Bote M'nuchah)
for building hotels and sanatoria, with
a paid-up capital of 100000 roubles,
Of which one-quarter has already been
RENTED at comparatively good rate
Of exchange to the Anglo Palestine
Company and the Jewish Colonial
Trust. This Society will shortly COM
mence the building of a hotel at
Jaffa.
2.-An Oil Works Company, with a
capital of 100000 roubles the whole
of which has been transferred to Lon
don Banks. This Company will es-
tablish works in Haifa Immediately
after the conclusion of peace.
"a Printing and Publishing Com
pany, to provide the Jews of the en-
tire world with Hebrew books. This
Company will probably be enlarged,
or another Company formed with the
same object. The founders have sent
a representative to Palestine to make
preliminary investigations.
A fermentation Produce"
Company for the production of beer,
yeast, and other products based on
processes Of fermentation.
5.-A Company was started by a
branch of the Soviety at Kieff, for
the building of sanatoria and the de-
velopment Of watering-places in Pal
estin. It's capital is 100000 roubles.
GA Company was PROJECTED at
Kieff for building garden cities.
by far the biggest scheme was
that Of big Commercial Bank, which
would assist and concentrate the fl
nancial efforts of the various Com
panies working in Palestine. Its cap
ital was to be 25,OOO,oOO roubles, and
a share in the administration was to
be given to the Government of Pal
estine and the Zionist Organization.
Any excess of income above 5 per
cent, was to be shared with the Jew
ish body participating in the Pales-
tine Administration. The realization
Of this perfect was rendered impos-
sible by the position which Russia

ing of Palestine. These two So
cieties published special journal,
Erez Israel, devoted to their work.
1t was edited till January, 1919, by
Mr.. Boris Goldberg, since then by DR..
julius Brutzkus.
Apart from the companies and un-
dertakings founded by the Society for
the Economic Revival of Palestine, a
Company was established in 1917 at
Moscow, with the name Haboneh, for
the purpose of building houses, hotels,
business premises, and factories, and
trading in building materials. The
capital Of this Company is 1O,0OO,OOU
roubles, of which 6,55O,OOO have al.
ready been subscribed in shares OF
the face value of $4,000 roubles.
Another Moscow Society is the
Raanonah, for works of irrigation and
amelioration. Its capital is 10000
600 roubles, of which 100000 have
already been subscribed in shares of
the face value of 10000 roubles.
All the companies hitherto formed
for the above purposes have a provis-
ion in their statutes that no land is
to be bought for their undertakings
otherwise than through the Zionist
Organization, and that all regulations
concerning the future forms of land
tenure in Palestine are to be observed
by them.
Almost all these companies consist
of two classes of people-those who
invest money only, and those who put
in their knowledge and business ex-
perience as well as their money. But
among the combinations which are
being formed in Russia for work in
Palestine, there are groups of persons
who are ready not only to participate
with their capital, but also to invest
their own labor in Palestine. To
these belong the so-called Achuzah
Groups and the Cooperative Build
ing Societies. The Achuzoth are
groups of Jews who combine in or
der to acquire land and to work on it.
The minimum capital required to be,
come a member of an Achuzah is 49,
600 roubles, payable in three annual
instruments of 5000 roubles. Each
group consists of between rs and 100
persons, not all Of whom are sup.
posed to start their journey at once.
Every Achuzah will send out a group
of pioneers from among its members;
these pineers will study the condi-
tons and prepare the ground for the
rest of the group, every member OF
which must be possessed of a sum of
money sufficient for building a house,
and for buying a certain amount Of
farming stock. Every member will
be given an allotment of 100 dunam,
and the work on this allotment will
be carried out in accordance with the
latest schemes elaborated by Ettinger
and Ruppin. The land will be work.
ed on cooperative basis until it
begins to bear fruit. The question
whether Achuzoth will hold property
as freehold or only on long-term
leases will be decided afterwards in
accordance with the land laws of Pal.
estine. Every Achuzah is the nuc.
leus of the new colony. The members
are mostly friends who belong to the
same town, and intend to live in the
