Joint

Meeting of Engineering Society and

Students' Jewish Association.

There was a well-attended meeting at the niversity of Cape Town on Tuesday, 28th May.

a joint meeting of the Students' Jewish As- suciation and the Engineering Society. Mr. Harold LeY,V. chairman of the S.J.A., was in the chair.

l\lr. 8. S. 1.Morris delivered an instructive and

11. teresti11g addre. s on the engine ring possibilities

ur

Palestine with special reference to Dr. J.;owder- rnilk 's .J.V.A. sdwrne.

~Ir. :Morris said that in Pale:stine there ,yera ntst pos ibilities. Palestine occupied a unique position in the Middle Ea t. After hundreds uf ,\tars of neglect of both the soil and other aspect«

oi the land, the Jewish people had ~·hown what 1.kti>rmination and will <"01:i<l achieYc>. Pnlestirw liau proved to he onP of the be.-t expPrimenta.I

i ileatrPs in the world. Rapid clPYelopment had

1 :-.pecially taken plnc·P <luring the ~·ears oi war.

1 luring that period o\·1.'t' 300 important i nJnstria I nudP.rtaking;s had bePn started. The army eon- trac·ts alonf' 111 1940 totalled more than £1.000,000 und in 1942, £10,000,000. Th• goods ranged from tin water bottles to potatoes and marmalade.

During that p riod the total output had inrreasPd hy 75 per cent. Great strides had also b<.•en mad•>

111 building in Palest i1w. ~lodern buildings had been erected in most of tlu> town: in Palestin<' with locally pro<lureJ material. An e ·ample of that pl'O<lucti0n wa:-; tlw Neslwr ('pm nt Coml1:.rn~·

~I.any of. the .Arabs realised theil' po:ition and without mterference .Jew and Arah roul<l cret oil ,·e1y well in Palestine>. ~Ir. Morris concluded with thi extract from Dr. J.;owdermilk's hook, "Pales- tine. Land of Promi. e" : -

"If the force. of rec·lama~ou and µrogres· .Jew- ish . ettlers have iutro<ln<'e<l ar permitted to ('~ntmue, Palestine may well he th 1£'aven that

"''Ill transform ~he other lands of the Near East.
