Jewish National Fund Creates
Usable Land From Wasteland
Jews the world over regard Israel as their homeland, and there is space
there for every Jew. But,
there is not enough fertile
land for growing, for building. The Jewish National
Fund, as custodians of the
Land of Israel for the Jewish
people, has the vital responsibility of creating usable
land where today there is
barren wasteland.
A prime project of the NJF
is the rehabilitation of the
Galilee, where, entire hills
are being regraded, new
roads are being carved out
and several outposts (mitz-
pim) are being established,
both to use the land and to
protect it. e,
The mitzpim concept is
that the inhabitants of these
outposts exercise control
over a small area, preventing illegal occupation. Meanwhile, JNF investigates possibilities for making the area
a viable part of the Israeli
economy agriculturally or
otherwise.
The mitzpim are also an
important factor in the
environmental reclamation
of the Galilee. For the hiker,
for the.traveler from abroad,
these new settlements will
open up previously inaccessible areas of great beauty.
Newly planted reclaimed
land and new woodlands will
enhance the appearance of
the landscape and make the
wasteland blossom again.
But, this growth needs the
nurturing   which   contribu
tions can provide. To find out
more about how to become
an integral part of the development of the Land of Israel,
call the Jewish National
Fund office, 231-1397.

WASHINGTON (WNS)-
"As long as I am President,
the United States will be a
rock of support. We will not
waiver in our commitment
to protect Israel's security,""
President Reagan declared
June 10 in a speech via telephone from Camp David to
delegates attending the 70th
anniversary meeting here of
the National Commission of -
the Anti-Defamation League
of B'nai B'rith.
"We are committed to
maintaining Israel's qualitative edge in the military balance of power," Reagan
asserted. Both he and
Samuel Lewis, the U.S. Ambassador to Israel who
-addressed the meeting in
person, expressed optimism
over the continuing improved relations between the
U.S. and Israel. Reagan
hailed   the   Israel-Lebanon
agreement as "one more
step toward a stable Middle
East." Lewis however was
more cautious about the
chances of a Syrian withdrawal from Lebanon.
Lewis described U.S.-Is-
rael relations today as "better, an awful lot better ...
and it's going to get better in
the weeks and months
ahead." But he had some
cautionary words: ''Israel
today is far too dependent on
the U.S. for Israel's own
good and also for the.good of
the U.S.," he said. "Some of
Israel's own leaders have
been saying this more and
more often, saying how critical it is'that Israel regain its
own economic independence
so that it will not be subject-
to American pressure or to
the vagaries of American
policy makers. I couldn't
agree   more   with   those

The envoy proposed that
Israel try to work its way out
of "the onus of the balance of
payments gap which makes
Israel too dependent on the
U.S. appropriations process
for either side to be comfortable ... Israel has not been
able to achieve national
independence in the total
sense so long as its budget
and its military acquisitions
