JERUSALEM.--(.1. T. .A.) —The
prolonged period of economic depres-
sion through which Palestine is pass-
ing has not unnaturally produced a
wave of criticism (Bisected against the
Zionist Executive and the activities
which it has conducted within the lim-
its of the available resources to rem-
edy the situation and to foster the
upbuilding of the country, Colonel
Kisch, the head of the Palestine Zion-
ist Executive, states in a letter which
he has issued to the Palestine press.
"Time and the explanations to be
given at the next congress," he pro-
ceeds, will prove to what extent
these criticisms are justified; on the
other hand, I find it necessary to
reply at once to the unjust and ill-
founded charges which have been
raised in many quarters against the
officials of the Zionist organization.
These charges, which have been re-
peated in the Jewish press both in
Palestine and in the Diaspora, may
be summarized as suggesting that the
Zionist Executive and its dependent
institutions ( (Keren Ilayesod, Keren
Kayemeth, etc.) are greatly over-
staffed with idle officials who live in
luxury and make no sacrifice for the
common interest during the present
distress.
"Our staff in Jerusalem comprises
90 officials, of whom five receive
£E.41 to £E.50, four LE. to £E.40,
' 16 £E.26to £E.35, 18 £E.19 to £E.25,
28 £E.12 to £E.18 and 19 £E.8 to
tE.11.
This scale of renumeration WAS
fixed by a neutral commission which
was set up in April, 1922, and whose
recommendations in the matter of
salaries were at once accepted by the
executive. The scale is, moreover, to
be examined by a new neutral com-
mission appointed by tne executive
in accordance with the decision of
the last actions committee.

—The United States Bureau of Im-
migration corroborated the instruc-
tions issued by the Norddeutscher
Lloyd in a circular to its agents in
Germany. The Bureau of Immigra-
tion here stated to the correspondent
of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency
that it requires steamship companies
to ascertain the race of aliens. Un-
der the laws and regulations, every
steamship must keep and submit a
list or manifest of all alien passen-
gers, giving among other things the
nationality, race and country of or-
igin. For purposes of this record,
the race of the Jewish people is desig.
meted by the term "Hebrew," "Jew-
ish" being avoided because the bu-
reau interprets Jewish as referring to
religion rather than race, and Ilebrew
being considered a racial designation.
Nationality refers solely to the po-
litical allegiance, according to the bu-
reau, which states that the law re-
quires both the nationality and the
race to be given, a clear distinction
being maintained between the two for
purposes of statistical record. It was
pointed out, for example, that many
races come from Canada, including
Irish, Scotch, English, yet such aliens
may all be of British nationality; that
is, political allegiance.
