'
LONDON' (JTA)—The British
government will launch a cam-
paign in the United States to
bring to the attention of public
opinion the details of the activi-
ties of the Jewish underground
movement in Palestine, it was an-
nounced in the House of Com-
mons by British Colonial. Secre-
tary Arthur Creech-Jones.
The announcement was made
in reply to questions raised by
several members of Parliament
with regard to the renewed out-
breaks in Palestine and the con-
templated precautionary meas-
ures. The colonial secretary re-
fused to reveal details of the
security measures planned by the
military authorities, but said that
the Foreign Office will see to it
that "the facts of the situation"
in Palestine are made known in
New York.
Announcing that five soldiers
and policemen were killed in
Palestine and 12 injured during
the past month, the colonial
secretary said: "I should like to
express the abhorrence which I
am confident the House feels at
these abominations and cold-
bloodedoutrages." He added that
he was sure that his feelings were
shared by a large section of the
Jewish population: He warned
against outrages at a time when
efforts are being made to relieve
the tension and to find a satis-
factory long-term policy for
Palestine.
Replying to a question from
former Colonial Minister Col.
Oliver Stanley, Creech-Jones said
that during the " recent discus-
sions in London, the Jewish
Agency representatives had shown
a disposition to help in the restor-
ation of order in Palestine.
Legion's Commander
To Address Jewish Vets
NEW YORK—Col. Paul H.
Griffith, new national command-
er of the 'Ainer-
iean Legion, will
be guest speaker
at the 51st an-
nual convention
of the Jewish
War Veterans of
the U. S., to be
held in Atlantic
City, N. J., Nov.
Contd. Griffith 27 to Dec. 1.
With the
from the post-war transition
period with a lack of labor rather
than an unemployment problem,
if is disclosed by figures released
by the Jewish Agency's Statistics
Department. The number of Jew-
ish unemployed, on a daily av-
erage, from July 1945 to Febru-
ary 1946 was 3,112, which in-
dicates virtually no unemploy-
ment since there is always about
that number of persons changing
jobs, or transferring from 'one
occupation to another, in a single
day, who are only temporarily
not working.
Deducting the 20;000 Palestin-
ian Jewish men and women in
British armed forces as of July,
1945, the number of wage earn-
ers then was 225,000 as compared
with 192,000 before the war, an
increase of 33,000, despite the
fact that certain trades and in-
dustries, especially the citrus
industry, suffered during the war.
Figures Significant
These Jewish' figures are par-
ticularly significant when studied
on the background of the unem-
ployment wave now rocking the
Arab countries in the Middle
East.
In agriculture there were 37,000
Jewish wage earners in 1939 and
24,000 in 1945 a drop due to the
crippling blow dealt the citrus
industry by the war. Thie, branch
of agriculture alone employed
20,000 -Jews before the war, but
now employs only 3,000, includ
ing 1,000 proprietors. If the
citrus industry can be revived
to something like its pre-war
standing, it will employ 10,000
additional workers. In all other
branches of agriculture there was
a rise in wage earners from 17,000
before the war to 21,000 now.
Shortage of Material
In building, construction and
allied trades, 14,000 persons were
employed in 1.939 as against 6,500
in 1945 and about 8.000 now. This
60% drop between 1939 and 1945
is a result of the wartime short-
age of construction material
which is still- acute. In the mer-
cantile trades, 66,000 are employ-
ed pow in contrast to 38,000 in
1939. In transportation and com-
munication, 12,000 Jews are em-
ployed now as against 10,000 in

Jewish Palestine earned less

8,300, of whom 2,200 officials,
or white collar workers, against
24,400• Arabs. The high point
