The Jewish communities in Palestine are called upon to assure the fullest participation of the Jews of Palestine in the approaching census, says a resolution adopted tonight by the Vaad Leumi, the Palestine Jewish National Council.
At the same time, the Vaad Leumi has approved the action taken by the Executive to safeguard the Jewish interests in connection with the census, and has decided that steps should be taken through the Immigration Department of the Jewish Agency to enable all who are entitled to do so to benefit by the immigration amnesty, under which the Palestine Government will legalise the stay of all persons who entered the country illegally since 1922.
