PALESTINE HAS
 NEW PLAN FOR HIGH COST FIGHT

Buffalo, Nov. 27.-Co-operative SO cledes to meet the high cost of liv- ing by control of comm odities for i'm port and export will be established Tn Palestlse and important key indus tries will be organized there if plans suggested to the American Zionist or ganlzation in their convention here today are adopted.
 The committee on Palestine an nounced that it had worked out plans Tor a cooperative import and export company and for wholesale coop erative society for that country. Also it had made preparations for a na- tional health service and for the ere alton of numerous key industries.
 The committee stated that Pales- tine, industriously speaking, is a vir- gin country but, physically, a devast- ed area and that these facts must be borne in mind in undertaking steps for making a Jewish homeland.
 The first and foremost need was declared to be the creation of the fundamental or key industries, such as quarrying, manufacture of lime, cement and brick, establishment of a machine assembly and repair p'ant, wood trim mill, truck transportation and a fuel control system No build less these key industries were first established to supply building mate rial transportation and fuel
 Building stone is found in inex-
  is quarried by the Arabs in a. hap hazard way. in totally inadequate amounts and in sizes too small for | modern structure. Palestine is a lime stone country. yet lime is produced there under very primitive conditions and in insufficient quantities. Al l though large quantities of raw mate l rial for the manufacture of cement l are to be found in the proposed home | land, cement is today imported an6 | the price was declared by the com | mittee to be prohibitve.
 Exorbitant prices are said to be de l manded for building iron, small cast | ingS and sheet metal work and tht supply was pronounced almost negH | gible.
 | The transportation system is son | fined to the 1oastal plain with spu1 | to Jerusalem, but the majority of tht existing Jewish colonies were said b! i the committee on Palestine to be no | directly served by this system. For , | long time to come, the com m1tte' | said, the industrial fuel of Palestin'
 will be oil and gasoline. Withou | these the wheels of industry would no | turn, yet the price was called pro l hibitiNe A serious shortage of houses l and buildings was reported and tn | existing accommodations were declar | ed to be insufficient even for the snlal Influx of refugees and immigrants.
