High Commissioner Herbert Samuel's calls for open Jewish immigration and land acquisition has enabled some thirty-five thousand highly committed and well-trained socialist Zionists to enter Palestine between 1919 and 1923.

Approximately fifty percent of these immigrants are from Russia and thirty-five percent from Poland.

The Third Aliyah, as it is called, makes important contributions to the development of Jewish agriculture, especially collective farming.

Samuel, however, also promises representative institutions (which, if they had emerged in the 1920s, would have had as their first objective the curtailment of Jewish immigration).

The Zionists, moreover, cannot openly oppose the establishment of democratic structures, which is clearly in accordance with the Covenant of the League of Nations and the mandatory system.
