When so many countries have armies of the unemployed it is strange to hear complaints from Palestine that there are not enough workers to go round. Mr H. Frunikin, writing from Tel-Aviv, says the employment bureaux of the Jewish Workers' Union are unable to supply the workers required by orange-planters, building contractors, and manufacturers. As a result the development of industry is seriously hampered. As building activities cannot be extended owing to lack of labour, rent goes up automatically. The responsible government is in the difficult position of holding the balance between Jew and Arab, but more immigration certificates have now been issued to Jews.
