4039Ben-Gurion emphasizes the importance of talented labor in Palestine. He was in Berlin trying to secure a visa into Poland. In the mid-1920s a large number of Polish Jews immigrated to Palestine due to the political and economic crises in Poland the Johnson-Lodge Immigration Act passed by the U.S. Congress which curtailed mass immigration to America. If Ben-Gurion was trying to enter Poland the country of his birth to promote immigration to Palestine he was not successful. He begins this letter telling his friends that "he is unable to get a visa to go to Poland and must return to Aretz." The letter deals with Ben-Gurion's strategy to promote immigration to Palestine and to create "a firm bond between the Histadrut and the Hehalutz." <br/><br/>Ben-Gurion says that upon his return to Aretz his first concern will be "to increase the Aliya of Halutzim pioneering aliya creating a firm bond between the Histadrut and the Hehalutz and making the central role of our movement abroad the development of Hehalutz." He continues "At the moment I see two Histadruts which contain within the creative forces of our movement: the Workers Histadrut in Aretz and the Hehalutz Histadrut abroad. The strength value talent greatness influence and success of one is tied to the other. The fates of both are intertwined." He then asks his friends to "prepare the Hehalutz for its great destiny" a job he notes as being a great responsibility and hard work. He assures them that the "Histadrut will help as much as it can." The letter is signed "D. Ben-Gurion." Israel's General Federation of Labor the Histadrut was an organization of trade unions established in 1920 during the British Mandate for Palestine. It was founded by Ben-Gurion and others to look out for the interest of Jewish workers and designed to "form a tightly controlled autonomous Jewish economic state within the Palestine economy. It functioned as much more than a traditional labor union providing. social services and security setting up training centers helping absorb new immigrants. teaching them Hebrew. "jewishvirtuallibrary section on British Palestine Mandate. As the goal at the time was to increase the number of Jews going to settle in Palestine a strong bond needed to be secured between the Histadrut and those in the Hehulutz who were helping in countries abroad to teach train and compel Jews to immigrate to Palestine. The job of the Hehalutz which was primarily a youth movement an umbrella of the Zionist Youth Movement was to bring Jews to Israel training them for pioneer life in skilled trades. As early at 1924 Ben-Gurion was trying to get more skilled immigrants to Israel. He felt that the only way was to get the Hehalutz to work hand in hand with the trade unions and to promote all that they were doing for workers in Palestine. Ben-Gurion in this letter is emphasizing his desire to see that the two the pioneers in Palestine and those abroad who were to help train skilled workers and promote the Histadrut work together to form a state that could be independent. Ben-Gurion a major Zionist leader led the Jewish community in Palestine on its struggle for an independent Jewish state. unknown books

199251620bdLondon: Studio Editions 1992. Folio blue boards hardcover gilt letters 320 pp. Near-Fine with bookplate; in a Very Good dust jacket with lightly rubbed edges. From dust jacket: Aviation: The Pioneer Years divides the story of flight into five main periods and dedicates a chapter to each. In the first of these periods the book briefly reviews the known or legendary attempts at flight before the eighteenth century passing from Icarus through the notebooks of leonardo da Vinci to the ultimate success of Montgolfier and Charles who within twelve weeks of each other had invented both the hotair and the hydrogen balloon. By the beginning of the second period it was clear that human power alone would never be sufficient either to lift a man in a heavier-than-air machine or to steer him against the wind in a lighter. This period ends with the emergence of two separate lines of investigation: the motor-men and the glider-men. By 1901 the third chapter the strands were beginning to come together again and the Wrights in America solved on gliders the vital problem of directional stability by their system of warping the wings to increase and reduce lift as required. In 1903 the Wrights married a petrol engine of a suitable power and weight to their controllable glider and the thing was done. Once done however both the aeroplane and the airship went from strength to strength. In ten short years the aeroplane developed from the Wrights’ construction of wood and canvas to the three Zeppelins that between them carried a total of 19109 people in the twenty months to November 1913 and this without a single accident. All this progress is recounted in detail as are the first long-distance journeys to Africa and Russia. The fourth stage is concerned with the First World War. For four years money was literally thrown at the aircraft industry but little went on fundamental advance. The aircraft of 1918 were essentially the same as those of 1914 the only difference was in the scale of production. The effect of the vast increase in the world’s stock of both fliers and machines is charted in the fifth and final chapter as the main thrust of aviation changed from the individual efforts of fliers solo or in small groups to those of powerful commercial companies to open up not only the geographical world but also to extend the frontiers of performance in speed in altitude in duration and above all in safety. These pioneer years were rich in incident brilliant and sometimes eccentric epople and amazing flying machines. The combination of well over 850 extraorindary and often rare illustrations with a lucid highly informative text makes this history of aviation an indispensable work for all those with a fascination in man’s overwhelming urge to fly.
