NO. 4 YAAD LEUMI MEMO RAPS BRITISH IN REPORT TO LEAGUE Points to Palestine Govern. ment's Failure to Aid Jewish Settlement. PLEA IS MADE FOR OPENING OF GATES Simpson Report to be Ig- nored. Mandates Com- mission is Told. 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. e . 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. After making the above sum- matized complaints, the Jewish! Denies Christian View 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. 1, O. B. S.

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.
