FOREWORD

In this study of co-operative living Doctor Henrik Infield has chosen the Kvutza as a type of rural settlement already of the highest value to the Jewish National Home in Palestine, and probably of far-reaching significance in the future much beyond its borders.

Doctor Infield writes not only as an acute observer of social relationships, but also as one who has lived with the workers of the Kvutzot. I am confident that many readers will share my pleasure in reading this vivid account written with exceptional knowledge and singular detachment.

It was in 1932 that I paid my first visits to the Kvutzot under the guidance of my good friend the late Doctor Arlosoroff. I can still recall my early amazement that such sacrifices should be voluntarily incurred by these pioneers, and so much good gained through the absence of personal wealth and the nonexistence of the profit motive.

Among these villagers there is no fear of want or of unemployment, no envy of another mans possessions, and if there are no luxuries a livelihood for every family is assured. Doctor Infield truly says that all conflict has not been eliminated, nor all self-centred behaviour banished from the Kvutza. That is but to say that workers who practise comprehensive co-operation are still human. But what has already been achieved gives rise to good hope for the future.

By teaching and environment the Nazis corrupt youth. In this new way of living, the youth of the Kvutza are being raised to higher standards of living and thinking. All men are bound by many shackles, but the workers in the Kvutza are free to form and live up to their own set of values.

Doctor Infield has done a great service in presenting us with this thoughtful investigation of the Kvutza, where all may read of the working of a system that offers not only an equal distribution of wealth, but also an approach to true comradeship. It is indeed a study worthy of close examination at the present time.

ARTHUR WAUCHOPE.
