During the six long and bitter years of the warwhile the Jews of Europe were being systematically exterminated by Nazi bestialityimmigration into Palestine was for periods completely shut off by the British administration. and. when permitted. restricted to a bare minimum at best. While millions of Jews were being massacred. not more than ten or twelve thousand were permitted to enter Palestine each year since the promulga-. tion of the Chamberlain white paper in 1939. Today the certificates of immigration have been exhausted and still the doors of Palestine are closed to the hundreds of thousands who are waiting in the desperate hope of at last finding rest from their wanderings and of attaining permanent security of mind and body in the Jewish homeland. There is no valid economic reason for keeping the Jews out of Palestine. During the last 25 years Jews all over the. world have bent their energies toward the upbuilding of Palestine and have poured in great resources of capital. labor. and scientific knowledge to increase the absorptive capacity of the country.
