“We appear to be on the eve of a new emigration movement to Palestine from Poland,” Deputy Gruenbaum said speaking at a meeting called by the He’Chulutz Organization to launch an appeal for funds.
“Reports arriving from Palestine,” he said. “show that the improvement in conditions there is due not only to the work of the Zionist Organization and the British Government, but also to the natural development of agriculture and industry. This includes the Ruttenberg electrification project which is already beginning to work. According to the signs, we shall soon be faced with the question of a new immigration movement to Palestine. The outlook for this new immigration is not bad. Several branches of industry have lately established themselves firmly and have secured both the internal market and the export market to Egypt, Syria and Iraq.
“The re-emigration movement from Palestine, he concluded, “has shown that only a small percentage of workers and a still smaller percentage of Chaluzim leave the country.”
Mr. Dobkin, the secretary of the He’Chalutz World Organization reported that the organization has 18,520 members, of whom 27 per cent, are women. They are organized in 12 countries, Russia, Poland, Galicia, Roumania, Lithuania, Germany, Czecho-Slovakia, Austria, Latvia, Bulgaria, Holland, and France.
