The Jews of Palestine contributed during the last twelve months about £25,000 to Zionist funds. About £14,000 was collected in small sums for the Jewish National Fund, about £7,500 in larger contributions for the Palestine Foundation Fund (Keren Hayesod), and about £3,000 in “shekolim”, or cards entitling holders to vote in Zionist Congress elections. These amounts are exclusive of casual collections for persecuted Zionists in Russia and other purposes.
The “Davar”, the Palestine Labour daily, estimates that the per capita contribution of the Jews in Palestine exceeds that of the Jews of Russia before the war.
