to insure for the people ground in the plantation area as well as in Huleh, Beth Sham, Negeb, both sides of the Jordan, etc.
SET UP FOUNDATION FUND
8. A foundation fund for an internal Jewish national loan must be established, at the same time preserving and strengthening the income of the Keren Hayesod. The foundation fund should come from the unification of funds of relief agencies, the Agency, colonization funds and various funds for establishing German and other Jews. On the basis of the foundation fund, bonds for the national loan should be issued.
9. With the aid of the various funds the coalition must strengthen the immigration of pioneer (chalutz) workers, create a liquidation bank with divisions in the emigration countries, to help liquidate the property of Jews emigrating to Palestine; build migration-cooperatives for the middle-class for the purpose of concentrating capital funds and regulating the migration of family members in accordance with their potentialities for work and their usefulness to the economics and industries which will be built by cooperatives; help those labor elements in Palestine and in other countries which have small means to settle in Palestine by means of small savings, as was done last year by the Histadruth (Nir Society).
ON INTERNATIONAL GROUND
10. In the political field the Congress must make concrete the constructive program for relations with the Arabs, with England and with the League of Nations adopted by the previous, the 17th, Congress. (Ways and means of securing the peaceful cooperation of the Arabs, local democratic home-rule in Palestine, facilitation of land-buying, strengthening of protective forces, agrarian reforms and the political status of the land).
11. It is high time to gather together all the creative forces. The partners in the Jewish Agency now have an opportunity to show their readiness to extend the Agency foundations, as well as to create financial and political prerequisites for the national loan. The Congress must, in my opinion, adopt this method also with respect to the widening and the strengthening of our work, of attracting, and not repelling, friends who wish to build irrespective of their numbers and political convictions.
12. It is clear that there can be no coalition for labor with elements which introduce into Zionism principles of strike-breaking and terro##, which combat national funds, and which undermine the sovereignty of the Zionist organization and the morale of Zionism as a liberation movement.
