The Commission of the Zionist Executive which has been investigating the position of the settlers at Jidda, following the failure of the “Manor” textile factory and colony project, has reported to the Executive proposing that it should extend to each of the colonists a loan of £10 in order to enable them to establish agricultural small holdings. There are 58 colonists affected. The Zionist Executive is also to grant a loan to make it possible to start work at the textile factory.
An Arbitration Board is now sitting to settle the disputes between the Manor Company and the Simens-Schuckert Company which was a party to the Manor project.
