In Palestine, these aims alone are not sufficient. (Continued on Page 15) a far-reaching agrarian reform, without which action on state lines will be impossible.

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- MEMORY OF HEROIC NURSE HONORED—The former Italian luxury liner Saturnia has become the Queen of the Army's "Mercy Fleet."

Palestine's Land Problem Calls for Radical Solution (Continued from Page 3) 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.
