A total of 205 American Jews have inscribed their names or the names of their relatives and friends in the Golden Book of the Jewish National Fund, the permanent reconstruction record kept in the Jewish National Fund headquarters in Jerusalem, of those, who distinguished themselves in the upbuilding work of Palestine, or who helped in the task of redeeming the soil of Eretz Israel.
Figures made public by Emanuel Neumann, president of the Jewish National Fund, for the period beginning January 1, 1930 and ending June 1, in connection with the Zionist Convention in Cleveland, show that the Palestine Land Fund had an income from this source to the amount of $20,500. An inscription in the Golden Book may be effected through a contribution of $100.
