More than 100,000 starving Polish Jews are eagerly awaiting immigration certificates to Palestine, Isaac Gruenbaum, head of the immigration department of the Jewish Agenoy, told newspapermen at a conference.
Mr. Gruenbaum explained in detail the manner in which the last schedule of immigration certificates to Palestine, so eagerly sought, were distributed. He declared that 450 had been issued to industrialists and 400 to the Jewish Farmers Association, on condition that they increase the number of Jewish workers in the factories and on the land. The Jewish Agency had also issued 350 certificates for Yemenite Jews; 175 for tourists who had remained in Palestine; 3,800 for young pioneers who had already undergone training, and 2,000 for relatives of people already in Palestine.
