The main argument made in the paper is that while the formal legal structure of the cooperatives belonging to the labor movement was an outcome of the convergence in time and space of legal transplantation (the British Mandate legislation) and the implant of the culture of Jewish cooperatives in Eastern-Europe, it was the cooperative culture as developed by the Federation that prevailed in constituting the practices and understandings of the cooperatives and their members.

At the latter 1 s suggestion, I began searching for materials on Israel 1 s tech~ical assistance to Africa and became much engrossed in it. When one reads widely on this subject, several questions come to mind. Why, for example, did Israel, a small, newly inde­ pendent nation, offer assistance to tbs new nations and territories of Africa? On the other hand, why did such African nations accept this aid so readily? What were the reactions of the Arab nations? Of the West? Of the Sino-Soviet Bloc? Of underdeveloped nations in general? Of Israel? What will be Israel's future in "Black Africa"? Data will be presented and conclusions drawn in answer to each of these questions. November JO, 1964 Elton R.

    ISRAEL Population r-piHE POPULATION of the State of Israel at the end of June 1954 was 1,687,886. J. Of these, 188,936 (about 11 per cent) were non-Jews. The table below shows the growth of the population of Israel since May 1948. TABLE 1 JEWISH POPULATION OF ISRAEL, MAY 1948-JULY 1954 Tear Jews Non-Jews Total 1948 758,000 1949 1,013,000 160,000 1,173,000 1950 1,203,000 167,000 1,370,000 1951 1,404,000 173,000 1,577,000 1952 1,450,000 179,000 1,629,000 1953 1,483,505 185,892 1,669,397 1954 (July) 1,498,950 188,936 1,687,886 The total yearly population increase fell from 17 per cent in 1950 to 15 per cent in 1951, 3.3 per cent in 1952, and 2.3 per cent in 1953, due to a decrease in the number of immigrants. Since the first half of 1952 the natural increase had exceeded the net migration. During the first half of 1953 the number of emigrants exceeded the number of immigrants, but during the latter half of the year, immigration was again somewhat greater than emi- gration. During 1953 there were 11,800 immigrants and 8,650 emigrants in all. During the first six months of 1954, 4,128 new immigrants came to Israel.
