Palestine.
The hiring of labour power was never at cdds with the principles or
poiicies of the Jewish Agency or any of its affiliates. The aim of
these policies was to exclude the indigenous Palestinian workers from
employment in the co-operatives. This was expressed at almost every
opportunity by Zionist organizaticns. In the International Zionist
Annual Conference on the 14th of August, 1929 in Zurich, the following
was resolved:
Land is to be acquired as Jewish property and
subject to the provisions of Article 10 of this
agreement, the title to the lanes acquired is to be
taken in the mame of the Jewish National
Fund,[Keren Kayemet), to the end that the sane
shall be held as the inalienable property o£ the
Jewish People.
Furtnermeore:
The Agency shall promote agricultural
colonization based on Jewish labour , and in all
works or undertakings carried out or furthered by
the Agency, it shall be deemed to be a matter of
principle in that Jewish labour shall be employed.
(26)
Boycotting Arab labourers was written as a condition to land
leased by the Keren Kayemet.
In a reference to the Maritime Plain co-operatives the following
was stated:
The settler hereby undertakes that he wiil
during the continuance of any of the said advances,
reside upon the said agricultural holding and do
all his farm work by himself or with the aid of his
family, and that, if and whenever he may be obliged
to hire help, he will hire Jewish workmen oniy.
Similax terms of lease were adopted with regard to co-operatives
establisted in the Marj Plain:
The settler undertakes to work the said holding
personally, or with the aid of his family, and not
to hire any outside labour except Jewish labourers. (27)
