Palestine Jewry fears new immigration restrictions and obstacles to reconstruction work as a result of the Royal Commission’s investigation, according to an American-Jewish trade union delegation which returned from Palestine last night on the Berengaria.
“The Jewish population, and particularly the organized Jewish labor movement, are apprehensive of the outcome of the commission’s investigation,” the delegation said in a statement.
The statement charged that Great Britain had not fulfilled her duties with respect to the Jewish homeland and had “failed to do what it should and could have done in order to create a friendly mutual relationship between the Jews and the Arabs.”
