Palestine Can Absorb Millions
More, UNSCOP Is Told by Kaplan
JERUSALEM, (JTA) —De-
bunking the "legend" of land and
water scarcity in Palestine,
Eliezer Kaplan, treasurer of the
Jewish Agency, told- the United
Nations Special Committee on
Palestine that "this little country
contains enough land and water
to feed not only its present popu-
lation but twice and thrice the
number."
Continuing the second day of
the presentation of the Agency's
case before UNSCOP, Kaplan de-
clared that during the past
quarter of a century the Jews
of Palestine have increased the
irrigated area of the country more
than 10 times—from 40,000 dun-
ams (10,000 acres) to 450,000.
Kaplan asserted that his pre-
dictions on the future of Pales-
tine's agriculture was based on
Jewish colonizing experience
during the past three generations
and on the basis of scientific re-
search carried out on the land
during the last 35 years.
Kaplan referred to the Hays-
Savage plan to develop water re-
sources in various sections of

DISTINCTIVE CARPETING

disavowed any desire on the part
of religious Zionists to establish
a "theocratic state" in Palestine
and said that there would be fug
freedom for all inhabitants in a
Jewish state.
David Horovitz, head of the
Agency's economic department,
testified that Palestine's absorp-
tivity was adequate - for any
amount of Jewish immigration,
since immigrants bring skill,
money and determination to build
the country, which facilitates the
settlement of more immigrants.
Bneh Favors Trusteeship
Replacement of the Palestine
mandate by an international trus-
teeship, with the proviso that the
Jewish Agency be authorized to
bring into Palestine 1,000,000
Jews within a- period of five
years, will be proposed at the
meeting of the Zionist Action
Committee, in Zurich, at the end
of next month. The announce-
ment was made by Dr. Moshe
lineh, member of the Jewish
Agency executive, prior to his
departure for Europe. He said
bat he contemplates placing this
proposal before the Actions Com-
inittee as an alternative to parti-
iion.

Valley project is begun.
He charged the government
with a "basic lack of understand-
ing" of the nature of Jewish
work in Palestine when it ac-
cuses the Jews of setting up an
exclusively racial economic or-
ganization.
Fritz Bernstein, director of the
Agency's industrial department,
made a number of serious
charges against the Mandatory.
Lashing out at Britain's control
of Palestine's dollar reserves and
of its exports, Bernstein accused
the Mandatory of "exploiting
Jewish Palestine."
He said that during the period
of 1940 to 1946 Palestine earned
a total of $165,000,000—$98.000,000
so-called gift dollars from Am-
erican Jews and $66,000,000 from
exports—which went into the
United Kingdom dollar pool. Al-
location of dollars to neighbor-
ing countries was far in excess
of what they had earned.
