Excerpt from The Keren Ha-Yesod Book: Colonisation Problems of the Eretz-Israel (Palestine) Foundation Fund
Keren ha-Yesod, the "Eretz-Israel (Palestine) Foundation Fund," proposes to raise ?25,000,000 for the reconstruction of the Jewish National Home.
Every Jew or Jewess throughout the world is called upon to contribute to the Keren ha-Yesod the Ma"aser (tithe) of his or her capital and income. The Ma"aser on income must be paid yearly for five consecutive years.
All monies collected by the Karen ha-Yesod will be expended in Palestine approximately as follows: -
(1) One-fifth in purchase of land and its preparation for settlement by Jewish agriculturists.
(2) A third of the remainder in public works of national utility, such as afforestation, drainage of marshes, hospital and school building, and construction of workers" houses.
(3) Another third will be exclusively devoted to undertakings of a commercial nature on which a yield of interest may be reasonably anticipated - such as utilisation of water-power, irrigation, and credits for house-building, industry, trade and agriculture.
(4) The last third to oraganising immigration (including homes and public kitchens for immigrant), maintenance of hospitals, contribution towards the upkeep of Jewish troops, social welfare institutions, and, above all, education.
Contributors to the Keren ha-Yesod will receive certificates stating the amount paid and guaranteeing a corresponding share in such advantages as may result from the investments mentioned under section 3.
The Keren ha-Yesod is administered by a Board of Directors, half of whom are appointed by the mists Executive, while the other half will be elected by a Council representing the certificate holders.
Section 3 of the Fund will be supervised by a special Economic Council, consisting of experienced men of business.
