energy with which 1t has carried out It's arduouS task. It has done much to reverse one of the great racial tragedies of history, and to restore to Q highly gifted people . habitation where they can recre- ate their own national life and make their distinctive contribu- tion to tho varied pattern of the civilization of mankind. The rec suits already achieved amply jus- t!fy the faith of those who spon- sorcd this movement, and I trust that It's future progress will more than fulfill the promise of It's early years"
 Heavy Tasks
 Mir. simon said:--
 T am glad to learn of the 18th anniversary celebration of tho Palestine Foundation Fund and of the plans for Q new campaign to enable the Fund to cope more fully with the heavy tasks which confront the movement.
 "The achievements and experi- encfe of the Fund justify the ut most confidence that contribu- tions will bc used In constructive work. At the same time, the claimant needs of thousands of Jews to whom all means of live- lihood are being denied in tho countries of the Diaspora, makes 1t more urgont to increase the absorptive capacity of Palestine. This can be done most Satisfac- torily by extending the coloni2a- ton activities of the fund. Large demands are now being made on 1t for the investment of It's re- sources in such physical assets as houses and farm buildings, water installation, live stock and equip. ment. With It's rich experience in these fields, the Palestine Foun- dalton Fund has succeeded in rec ducing the costs of settlement per family below that in any other country"
 Organizers
 Colonel Asnesy said:--
 T am glad to have the oppor. tunity on the occasion of the 18th anniversary of the inception of the work of the Palestine Founda- . ton Fund of congratulating the organizers of the Fund on their efforts up to date and to wish them continuing success in the future in the task of building the new Jewish National Home ii Palestine on the sound foundation of . self supporting agricultural community, Looking back on the past fifteen years think one can Justly regard the progress achieved in Palestine as remark able and as reflecting credit on ell concerned. As one who had fore some years to deal with the problem from the point of view of the responsibility of the Bri- tish government I am happy to acknowledge tho value of the inc defatigable work and the enc thusiassn of those who have in- spired your movement"

All toremen and time keepers Of WPA projects now In operation in the city will meet tonight in city court to be instructed by officials from the district headquarters in New Haven. Just what will occur at the meeting is Q matter of con. lecture but 1t is believed that some stress will be put on the fact that foremen who have been lax in their duties will be rcprimanded. There have been no cases of this kind re- ported here to date, but in New Britain about a week ago the state authorities told men there In no uncertain terms that any laxity would mean immediate dismissal.
 This morning 1t was disclosed that the session scheduled for to. night would be more of . rcorgani- 2ation meeting than anything else, but inasniuch as no advance report of the proceedings could be secured, no one knows exactly how the state officers will view the situation here. So far. in their tour of state pro- jects, they have almost always been of tho opinion that foremen, be. cause they work for the WPA and
