a far-reaching agrarian reform,
without which action on state
lines will be impossible. The ob-
ject of this reform is to transfer
the land from its present owners
to the State or to public authori-

state, as a means of dividing the

cultivators. The agrarian reform
in Palestine is, however, different
in type from that required else-
where. Here the purposes which
such a reform must serve are
more numerous and varied, and
therefore its accomplishment will
be more difficult. In other coun-
tries the aims of agrarian re-
form are, in the first place, to
requisition land from large own-
ers, which calls for large financial
resources; and secondly, to divide
the land more equitably, from the
economic point of view, in such
a way as to ensure the exploita-

large estates—large, that is to
say, by the Palestinian standards.
There are many wealthy Arabs
who own large areas of land, and
the situation in this respect is
common in other parts of the
world. During the course of their
sixty years' work in Palestine
in creating a Jewish agriculture,
the Jews have, indeed, purchased
some of these lands, thereby
leading to the splitting up of
large estates. For the land bought
by Jews has been divided into
small parcels and transferred to
peasant farmers.
Yet there are still many areas
of land which form part of large
estates, with all the drawbacks
of this system. These estates are
cultivated by landless tenants,
who work for their rich landlords
throughout their life, without the
slightest hope of ever attaining
economic independence as farm-
ers on their own account.
The Arab economy is character-
ized by other difficult problems,
such as the primitive methods of
cultivation used by the fellaheen,
leading to economic backward-
ness, and the heavy burden of
debt which weighs down on the
fellaheen and the small farmers.
Agrarian relations in the Arab
population constitute one of the
most serious problems facing us,
and in this respect are typical of
the backward economy in the
oriental countries as a whole. The
only way to improve the situation
is to take radical measures, else
it will be impossible to improve
Arab agriculture and return it
to a healthy state, thereby intro-
ducing some change in the struc-
ture of Arab society, which is
abnormal in several respects.
It is unnecessary to stress the
need for securing a proper solu-
tion of the land question in order
to ensure the continuation of
Jewish development work. Land
is the BASIS of our growth in
the Homeland, and we cannot
guarantee the sound development
of the Yishuv without making
land available for its economic
needs. The problems connected
with reconstruction equally arise
in the case of a people engaged
in constructing its home anew.
For example, large areas of land
will be required for the settlement
and reabsorption in our economic
life of our demobilized soldiers.
