The Zionist Organization, acting under Article 4 of the Mandate as the Jewish Agency for Palestine, made its first report to the Mandates Commission of the League of Nations in its fifth session. The report stated that since the British occupancy of Palestine, not less than $27,000,000 was invested in the country by Jews. The report was referred to as the “most unique document in Jewish as well as international history since the conquest of Palestine by Titus. The report was a picture of the Zionist movement and the position of Jews in Europe before the war and before the Balfour Declaration. The Jewish population was given as over 100,000 and it was announced that from the beginning of the occupancy to September, 1924, 38,000 Jews entered Palestine.
