Settlem ent of Jew s in Palestine: T he problem of finding employment for Jewish practitioners of medicine and dentistry from Germany, who, by reason of racial exclusion, continue to seek refuge in other countries, is still difficult to solve. In most civilized countries, restrictions of practice are in force, and, in Palestine, whatever facilities there may be for ordinary settlers, the prospects of an immigrant doctor or dentist would be exceedingly limited if the figures quoted by the chief secretary may be taken as correct. H e points out that while England has one doctor for every 1,300 of the population, and Switzerland one for every 3,000, “Palestinian Jew ry al ready has one for every 226,” and probably the ratio of dentists would be as ample. No reference is made to the remaining popula tion, which is no doubt to some extent pro vided for in other ways. I t is proposed to
