Oficial reports, collected from govern

the Berlin government was giving re-

grown from 3,04o797 a year ago to

beyond the Alps is actually much
blacker since the FaScistS have a system
whereby unemployment figures are kept

GENEVA-"Back to the land" is the
keynoteslogan of report to the Inter-
national Labor once from the Cen
eral Federation of Jewish Labor in
Palestine, which shows the distribution
of Jewish immigrants in industrial en-
ploy in that country. EXpatriates from
Poland form the bulk of the incoming
Jewish immigrant population.
Jewish industrial immigrant workers
have entered the country since the war
to the number of 1880. Considerable
numbers Of industrial workers in other
enterprises have gone over to agricul-
tural pursuits during the past five years.
After Poland the greatest number
came from Russia followed in order by
Rumania, Lithuania, Germany and Lat
via. Those born in Palestine and re-
turned thereto head the list Of nom
European immigrants, and in turn
others from the Yemen. Iraq, Turkey,
Persia. Other countries were headed by
Africa and America (the latter num-
bering only 14D, with an almost inviSl-
BILE minority from Australia and a mis-
cellaneous thousand Of unknown origin.
In 1880 agriculture accounted for 21.5
per cent; industry and handicraftS,
25.8; transport workers. So; building
enterprises and public works, Ill; Of
fees and hotels, 1877; professions, 8;
domestic service, rs, and miscellaneous,
IL. All these classes show an increase
except industry and public works.
Those who have cruised the Mediter-
ranean In those popular Winter trips
abroad have found their chief memory
Of Palestine food supply in the famous
JANA oranges. It Is to the increasing
culture Of citrus fruits that Jewish emf
grafton to Palestine owes its greatest
impetus.
The changes which have taken place
recently In Palestinian economy are due
largely to this great increase in orange
growing in the countryside, the area
having grown three fold during the past
five years. Those engaged In agricul-
tural occupations are more than twice
the number of those in the towns.
Wheat, tobacco, olive Oil and sesame
seed form the bulk of other field crops
the latter an ingredient Of lipsticks
and cosmetics, which shows at least the
development Of the modern idea Of
crop diversity.
OF Jewish workers in Palestine 72.2
per cent are employed in manual occu-
pations. Town workers exceed those
working In the settlements OF the agri-
cultural cooperative societies, their
