The Labour Immigration Schedule granted by the Palestine Government for the next six months, ending March 31st., 1932, appearing to-day in the “Official Gazette” allows for the immigration of only 150 men between the ages of 18 and 35, and 200 women of the same ages.
Dr. Arlossoroff, the head of the Palestine Executive of the Jewish Agency, is giving an interview to press representatives to-morrow, in the course of which he will take the opportunity of protesting against this reduction of the immigration quota from 1,720 asked for by the Jewish Agency Executive.
Dr. Arlossoroff will also deal with the “disbanding for economy reasons” of the Malaria Research Unit, supported for the last ten years by the Joint Distribution Committee of America, but included this year in the Budget of the Government Health Department.
He will also give the view of the Jewish Agency on the religious incitement conducted by the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem during his recent stay in Egypt and elsewhere in connection with the approaching Islamic Congress called in Jerusalem.
