Transcribed from the clipping

“In a report to the recent Zionist Congress in Basle, Mr. Brodie, who is chairman of the national executive committee of the Zionist Organization of America and has been a student of the economic aspects of the Jewish reconstruction of Palestine for many years, presented a program calculated to accelerate the absorptive capacity of Palestine.

It was in connection with the presentation of this report, which was published for the Congress in pamphlet form in English and German, that the Congress determined to separate its political and economic activities. The following is a digest of the report.—THE EDITOR.”

Absorptive capacity was the working term of the period for how many immigrants the country could take. The clipping held here is the headline and the editor’s note; the digest itself is not part of it.
