This fiasco showed the attitude of
the government toward the Jews, an
attitude prompted by the wish to get
rid of them. This was the object of
the clandestine numerus clausus in the
colleges and universities, of the legis-
lation to take over as state monopo-

which gave many Jews a livelihood,

things have been going on in spite of
the famous Polish-Jewish agreement
of June 1925, in negotiating which,
it has transpired, the Jewish deputies
listed a total of 42 major abuses which
they desired removed.
The net result of these policies was
to create an economic crisis in the
country from which the Jews were
the greatest sufferers, and which af-

The government under the new high
commissioner, Lord Plumer, has shown
— from —
itself to be fair and just in all its
relations with the Jews no less than
with the Arabs. There were some
difficulties about duty on raw mate-
rials and about the enlistment of the
Jews in the gendarmerie but these
were satisfactorily smoothed out. A
new community ordinance has been
promulgated which confers autonomy
in religious, educational and social
matters upon the Jewish community;
plans for modernizing the fiscal sys-
temare being made, and the govern-
ment, only a month ago, increased the
grant-in-aid to the Jewish school sys-
tem from 13,679 to over 112,000. The
opposition of a small faction among
the Arabs persists but is not causing
any graver concern. Instances of vio-
lent encounters were rare and unim-
portant.
