If the Yishub is unable to maintain its economic position, it does not matter whether Rabbi Berlin resigns from the Executive or Dr. Nahum Goldmann withdraws from the Political Commission, whether the Zionist Congress is held in February or whether it is held in the summer, says the Palestine Labour daily “Davar” in an editorial article to-day, published in connection with a cautious statement made by the Labour Exchange indicating the growth of unemployment in the country. The “Davar” urges the Jewish Agency to demand that the Government should make amends for its actions which have caused both an economic and a political crisis, and that simultaneously the Jewish Agency should mobilise the resources of the National funds, the national and pseudo-national banks, the Pica, the Jewish industrialists and all other Jewish forces, so that while there is still time it should be possible to prevent the wave of unemployment submerging the Yishub.
