Black-and-white pictorial magazine.

Twenty years into the British Mandate, the Yishuv was able to boast of prodigious achievements in all fields of endeavor: agriculture, banking, civic planning, defense, industry. This publication includes essays by Zionist leaders Chaim Weizmann, Arthur Ruppin, as well as philo-Semitic columnist Pierre van Passen and novelist Thomas Mann and perhaps most significantly, a letter from President Franklin D. Roosevelt endorsing the Jewish aspiration to a Homeland in Palestine.
