The Emica Association, organized in 1933 by the Emergency Fund for Palestine and the Jewish Colonization Association, continued in 1935 its work of promoting colonization, according to a summary of the annual report made public today by Bernard Flexner and Felix M. Warburg, its American directors.
The Emica continued investigations of land suitable for resettling Jewish immigrants. It settled 60 additional families in the re-established colony of Beer Tuvia, destroyed during the 1929 riots, and invested about $60,000 in this venture.
