B.—Consolidation of Settlements. The question of obtaining the means necessary to complete the consolidation of the settlements, some of which have been established as far back as twenty-five years, has engaged during this period the attention of the Keren Hayesod. The lack of the necessary equipment hindered the normal development of the settlements, and they were unable to begin repayment of the loans obtained from the Keren Hayesod. The settlers maintained their position with great difficulty and struggled for existence by means of loans from various sources on unfavourable terms. The consolidation scheme approved by the 18th Congress, involving a budget of £P.135,000, was afterwards curtailed and finally fixed at £P. 67,415.676 as follows: The amount allocated to the settlements for consolidation is specified in the following Table 1.
