JEWS INVEST HEAVILY
IN PALESTINE LANDS
JERUSALEM, July 2. (fP)—1The
Jewish National Fund has invested
almost $6,000,000 in the purchase and
improvement ot' land in Palestine
from October, 1920, to April, 1925,
approximately the period of Sir Her
bert Samuel’s administration as high
commissioner, according to a report
issued by the world headquarters of
the fund here.
Of this money $5,194,440 was spent
in the purchase of agricultural and
urban land and $774,150 in land im
provements, including the drying up
of swamps, road building, water sup
ply installation and building loans
to new settlers.
Twenty-nine of the 43 colonies es
tablished by the Palestine Founda
tion Fund (Keren Hayesod) during
this period, were built on land pur
chased by the Jewish National Fund.
This includes the dozen colonies
thus far established by the Palestine
Foundation Fund as part of its col
onization scheme in building up the
Valley of the Jezreel.
Both the Jewish National Fund
and the Palestine Foundation Fund
are financial agencies of the World
Zionist Organization, the former be-1
ing a land-purchasing agency, and
the latter engaged in the principal
constructive enterprises such as agri
culture, education, public health and
promotion of trade and industry,
aimed at the rebuilding of the Jew
ish Homeland. More than sixty per
cent of the $8,000,000 spent by the
Palestine Foundation Fund in the
Holy Land was contributed by Am
erican Jews.*
CHINESE SHOW ECCENTRIC
IDEAS OF SPORTSMANSHIP
ANKING, July 2. (Jp)^ Sports
meets which are being held through
out the Yanktze Valley in central
China are demonstrating the Lck of
appreciation among Chinese youth
of the spirit of sportsmanship and
the need of training along this line.
At an Anhwei meet recently a gov
ernment technical school was play
ing basketball with the local Mis
sion Cathedral school. The techni
cal school was ahead most of the
first half, but a few minutes before
the whistle sounded the Cathedral
boys picked up and tied the score.
In the second half it became quite
obvious that the Cathedral team was
the stronger and would doubtless
win. The technical boys, seeing
'hemselves losing stopped playing 0:1
the pretext that the baskets then
went to the government dressing
building and wrecked the place.
Two days later St. Paul’s high
school in Anking wa3 playing foot
ball against a local government
school The head master of the mis
sion school saw to it before the game
that the back gate to the grounds
was unlocked as a precaution against
trouble. St. Paul’s won, and the
minute the game was over the win
ning team made a hasty exit thru
the gate and hurriedly found refuge
in the mission compound, closely
pursued by the losers and their sup
porters.
T O KIO-Y OKAHAMA CANAL
PLAN REVIVED BY JAPAN
TOKIO, -June 30. (JP)—The plan for
a deep waterway canal between To
kio and Yokahama is to be revived,
according to the Japan Advertiser,
which states that the authorities of
the Department of Home Affairs are
drafting a bill for presentation to the
Diet at its next session for the ap
propriation of 20,000,000 yen to be
used in completing the project. It
is expected the work will require
about four years.
The plan for the canal was advo
cated several years ago because of
the constantly expanding traffic be
tween the port and the capital and
because the transportation by water
as it exists has been regarded as
particularly inadequate of late years.
Approximately 80 per cent or the
merchandise landed at Yokohama
from foreign and other Japanese
ports must be transhipped for To
kio, and about the same percentage
of the cargo consigned to Tokio by
train has to be forwarded to Yoko
hama. Of all the freight thus ex
changed, only 10 per cent can be
transported by train.
For the purpose of transporting
the remainder by water, sailboats
and lighters have been operated be
tween the two points, but the con
stant delays and damage frequent
ly suffered in following the present
crowded water routes render the
traffic unsatisfactory to the shipper,
' it is said. In addition, the freight
rates are out of the proportion to
the distance and the costs of the
commodities thus exchanged have
been advanced accordingly, it i*
claimed.
