The sum of £P.3,000 was allocated for constructive social loans through the Department for Social Service of the Vaad Leumi, under the administration and control of which social welfare work is carried on for German immigrants in the country. This amount was distributed by the Bureau and through its local Social Service Committees as follows :— £P.
