treated during the past year 94,125 patients, nearly 3,800 more than during the preceding year. A report for 1924 of the work of the International Health Board of the Rockefeller Foundation, which carried on an anti-malarial campaign with funds largely supplied by the Joint Distribution Committee, has not been issued. The report for 1923 declared that the survey begun in 1922 continued in 1923 and that "malaria control in many of the villages surveyed is possible at a reasonable cost." Further it declared that the neglected irrigation ditches were a prolific cause of trouble and that these could "be repaired as a rule at a small cost with less malaria and better crops as a result." ORGANIZATIONs for the ResTORATION.-As in the previous years, so also during the year under review, the Keren Hayesod comes first of all the organizations interested in the restoration of Palestine. During the year ending March 31, 1925, the Foundation collected £495,769, an increase of £28,805 over the previous year. Of the sum collected, $1,792,993 was gathered by the Keren Hayesod Committee in the United States during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1924. In July, 1924, the Actions Committee of the Zionist Organization adopted a budget of £.446,400 for Palestine work. Of this, £.125,000 was to be spent for agriculture; £.58,000 for education; £.30,000 for labor; £.29,000 for immigration; £.35,000 for medical aid; £.60,000 for obligations for the year 5684; and £.15,000 for administration.
