The establishment of a new institution to facilitate middle-class rural settlement in Palestine was under discussion to-day at a conference between the members of the Jewish Agency Executive in Palestine with the heads of the economic and financial bodies, presided over by Mr. Emanuel Neumann.
Great importance is attached to this project, which is expected to materialise shortly.
The Palestine Jewish Agency Executive has after several sittings divided the various functions among its members as follows: Dr. Ch. Arlossoroff, Political Department; Dr. Maurice B. Hexter, Agricultural Colonisation Department; ex-Deputy Farbstein, Department for Trade and Industry and Middle-class Settlement; Dr. Werner Senator, Treasury and Department of Immigration and Labour, and Mr. Emanuel Neumann will be in charge of a new Department to be created for dealing with Financial and Economic matters.
