This policy is severely criticised by the Jewish Agency. Only ten thousand Jews, it is pointed out, were admitted to Palestine last year, the smallest number since 1932 and only one-sixth of the
total for 1935.

416,000. Two-thirds are concentrated in the towns of Tel-Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa, Land in other parts of Palestine
