DR. DAVID YELLIN HERE FROM JERUSALEM
Industry in Palestine is improving, declared Dr. David Yellin, former vice-mayor of Jerusalem and president of the Hebrew Teachers’ college there on his arrival in New York on the Olympic Wednesday morning.
“There is no unemployment problem in Palestine at the present time,” Dr. Yellin stated. “On the contrary, the Zionist Organization is trying to obtain from the government new certificates of admission because there is a shortage of labor.”
“The Arab-agitation on the Wailing Wall issue,” Dr. Yellin said, “is an artificial one and is conducted mainly by a group of anti-Zionist Arab leaders. However, this group does not represent the feeling of the Moslem masses with regard to the Jewish question in Palestine.”
Dr. Yellin came to the United States for the purpose of raising funds for the completion of the building of the Hebrew Teachers College in Jerusalem.
On the Olympic was also Rabbi Judah Leib Tversky, Chassidic rabbi of Hornostapol, who was met at the pier by a number of Orthodox rabbis.
