S.; Condemns 'Outrages ' 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 118011 HAMS SI BL E Y S Mazol Toy. wish them lots of happiness, and true Jewish Nachas. • Mrs. Pearl Rottenberg President, Ladies Yeshivath Beth Yehudah Re-Elect SHERIFF Andrew C.

Jewish Palestine earned less than the Arabs from British mili- tary projects, which now employ 8,300, of whom 2,200 officials, or white collar workers, against 24,400• Arabs. The high point of Jewish employment on British miiltary projects was 1942, when 14,000 were employed. It- is be- lieved now that the figure of Jews employed by the Army will increase shortly because of the Army's need of experts and tech- nicians.
