The theme of Dr. Koscnau's address, "The Call for Readjustment" was. | "What chance for survival in the pres-' cut cultural milieu has a religion in gen¬ eral and Judaism, in particular?"

Great   Possibilities
"The land settlement work has devel¬ oped to a much greater extent than I or anyone else anticipated, and its possi¬ bilities are only now being grasped by thc people and the government.
"Additional lands arc being ."iel aside for Jewish settlement in the Ukraine and the Crimea. It is true that some of the land in the Ukraine and the Crimea is difhcult for settlement by individual , peasant families for the reason that deep wells have to be drilled and the soil is too heavy t6 be ploughed by a single horse. However, with thc aid of onr well-drilling equipment and tractors these difficulties are insignificant and in many cases even turn out to bc an ad¬ vantage.'
"No land settled by the Argo-Joint has to be irrigated. A water supply has to be provided, hut for the people and cattle one well for a colony of fifty families is more than sufficient, and the actual cost of drilling and complete equipment of artisian well for a colony of .ibout iifty families amounts to about two or three thousand rubles ("from $1,000 to $l,Ji(»(0 — depending on tbe difficulties of the drilHng.
