Solomon Ben-Amram, an American citizen who emigrated from Persia a little over ten years ago, after a brief business sojourn in Palestine, has been deported from the Holy Land on account of a technicality in international law.
During his residence in the United States, Mr. Ben-Amram succeeded in establishing a prosperous jewelry business. He saved enough to invest £500 in Palestine. The investment yielded returns amounting to £50 annually.
A few months ago, Mr. Ben-Amram returned to Palestine from Syria on a transit visa, and found employment as a goldsmith.
