A ship on which young Jews are to receive training in navigation was acquired today in Riga by a Jewish naval and aviation society.

Forty young men will be trained on this ship under the instruction of the society. The society is also subsidizing six young Revisionists to enable them to attend special courses in the Latvian School of Aviation. Twenty young Revisionists are being trained as fishermen.

The Jewish youths, on completing their course in navigation and aviation, will be sent to Palestine by the society, which is interested in developing Jewish aviation in Palestine and in increasing the number of Jewish sailors there.
