GENEVA.— (J. T. A.) — The
Palestine government has done
nothing to "encourage close set-
tlement by Jews on the land, in-
cluding state lands and waste
lands," as provided for in the Pal-
estine Mandate.
The Palestine government has
not strengthened the hope in the
early fulfillment of the pledge that
Palestine would be placed "under
such political administrative and
economic conditions as will secure
the establishment of the 'Jewish
National Home."
The Palestine government's de-
partment of immigration has con-
tinued to function not as a de
partment for the encouragement
of immigration but as one for its
discouragement.
Although several measures
have been taken by the Palestine
government with a view to effect-
ing a thorough reorganization of
the police force, the peace and
protection of the Jewish commu-
nity are by no means assured be-
cause the Jewish personnel of the
force has not been increased and
because the Transjordanian fron-
tier force, as hitherto, remains
"Juedenrein."
Effected Economic Condition..
The political disappointments
and the uncertainty with regard
to future political developments in
Palestine have had a most depres-!
sing effect on the influx of fresh
capital and on the economic situa-
tion of the country generally, and
what the riots of 1929 and the
Arab boycott which followed failed
to achieve WAS achieved by the
political restrictions that came in
their wake in the period that fol.

The Jewish medical institutions
of Palestine continue to bear
almost the entire cost of mainte-
nance of the Jewish health service
which caters to the members of
the Jewish community, and only
one-seventh of the total educa-
tion expenditure of the Palestine
government is contributed for the
education of the Jewish popula-
tion although the Jews form 20
per cent of the settled population
of the country and pay 45 per
cent of its revenues.
Annual Memo to Mandate. Body.
These are the principal charges
made against the Palestine gov-
ernment by the Palestine Jewish
National Council, the official rep-
resentative of the Palestine Jew-
ish community, in its annual
memorandum for 1930 which was
submitted to the Mandates Com-
mission of the League of Nations
when that body began its discus-
sion of the Palestine question.

matized complaints, the Jewish!

Jews Sentenced Jesus
BERLIN. — (J. T. A.) — The
assertion of the New Testament
that Jesus was tried and sen-
tenced to death by the Sanhed-
rin is not in accordance with
facts, Prof. lions. S. Lietz-
mann, famous Orientalist and
theologian, told the Prussian
Academy of Science in a lecture
delivered before that body. Pro-
fessor Lietzmann pointed out
that the Sanhedrin never passed
any sentence on Jesus and that
the Romans never executed any
sentence passed by the San-
hedrin.

married by Acting Rabbi Menahan
Coriat.
They were the first of their race
to be married in Spain in nearly
four and one-half centuries, and
the rabbi journeyed from Moroc-
co to perform the ceremony. A
recent Republican decree estab-
lishing freedom for all religious
faiths made this possible.
Assenting Nevelsky a industri-
ousness, the three anti-Semites had
tint subjected him to various in-
dignities and then, while drunk,
proceeded to hang him from a
beam in the factory. When their
victim fainted they cut him down
but when he revived they hung
him up. While the factory man-
agement pleaded ignorance of the
entire affair, the incident was
brought to the attention of the
authorities by the trade union to
which Nevelesky belongs. As a re-
sult of this incident the factory
management has been changed.
