A statistical analysis designed to show Arab benefits from Jewish immigration to Palestine has been issued by the United Palestine Appeal in connection with the hearings of the Royal Commission inquiring into recent disorders in the Holy Land.

Figures are presented to show that health conditions have improved, the Arab population has increased 462,000 in 14 years, indebtedness of Arab agricultural cultivators dropped 60 per cent in six years and Arabs have received employment in expanding industries, notably citrus raising.
