Among the many questions that
the Big Three will undoubtedly dis
cuss at Potsdam will be the future
of Palestine which the Jews, par
ticularly the dispossessed in Eu-
rope, seek to settle and which the
Arabs desire to withhold from the
Jews. At the end of the last war,
the Allies tended to show the Jews
every consideration with emphasis
on the Balfour Declaration for a
Jewish Homeland in Palestine. At
the end of this war the Jews are
generally being ignored while the
Arabs are favored, the growth and
development of the Arab League
being a keystone of United Nations
policy.
The distinction Is due to many
causes, particularly the paucity of
Jewish leadership. its diversion
from strictly Jewish questions to
extraneous issues which dissolv-
ed whatever there remained of Jew
ish unity, the secularization of Jew
ish movements with the resultant
loss of inherent spiritual vigor
among the Jewish people whose ira
dition rests upon God and the BIZ

funds of the government Of the

There are a few misconceptions
concerning this situation that need
clearing up. 1t is generally assum-
ed that the Jews have been buy
ing up all of Palestine and dispos-
sessing the Arab. That is literally
untrue. In Western Palestine,
which is the heart OF the Jewish
settlement, there are $1,000, 900
dunams or 10.429 square miles; if
both sides Of the Jordan are in
cluded it amounts to 117,000,000
dunams or 44,791 square miles.
or this total. the Jews have pur-
chased both through the Jewish
National Fund and private capital
approximately 100000 dunams.
This includes the Pewish-built
city OF Tel Aviv. In the 43 year
period that the Jewish National
Fund has been functioning, It has
invested s3S.3l1,2OO in Palestine
for land purchases and develop
ments there. In a word, the jew
has more than paid his way in that
country. There are now 2S3 Jew
ish settlements in Palestine; the
Jews have planted 3,465, 900 trees
on $4,000 dunams of formerly arid
land
