American contributions towards the Palestine Zionist Land Fund registered a 100% increase during the past six months, according to a report submitted to the board of directors of the Jewish National Fund of America. The receipts for the period beginning October 1, 1929 and ending March 31, 1930, amounted to $200,000, as against $102,884 received by the Fund during the same period last year.
The increase was regarded as a remarkable development in view of the marked decline in contributions experienced by many Jewish organizations in the United States, as a result of the recent Wall Street slump. M. M. Ussishkin, international Zionist leader, who is the president of the Fund, in a cable message to Emanuel Neumann, president of the Jewish National Fund of America, congratulated the American leaders on their achievement.
