The “Manchester Guardian” today comments editorially upon the prosperity in Palestine “amid a weary tale of world depression.”
The paper ascribes the prosperity in Palestine to immigration of Jews into the country.
“Palestine,” it says, “is reaping a considerable economic benefit because it is unstiffened by immigration restrictions like in most countries.”
The editorial is hopeful of better relations between Jews and Arabs, pointing out that economic prosperity has always proved a good salve for sore feelings and a preliminary condition to peace.
