Keren Hayesod Headquarters to Be Transferred to Jerusalem, Zionist Executive Decides

(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)

The headquarters of the Palestine Foundation Fund (Keren Hayesod) will be transferred from London to Jerusalem, according to a decision of the Zionist Executive at its meeting held yesterday. The transfer is to be effected not later than September 1.

This move was advocated for some time by American Zionists and representatives of other Zionist federations. The board of directors of the Keren Hayesod are in full accord with the decision of the Executive and preparations have already begun for effecting the transfer.

Simultaneously, the Zionist Executive decided to transfer to Jerusalem the editorial offices of the “Ha’olam”, the official organ of the Zionist Organization, published in Hebrew. A special committee will be named to work out the details and to recommend the enlargement and improvement of the organ so as to fit the needs of Jewish life in Palestine.
