The Land and Its Ownership
dunums prior to October 1920, is generally accepted. The total area now
owned by them may, therefore, be put at about 1,588,000 dunums; this figure
does not, however, include lands which are occupied by Jews, as legal tenants
or otherwise, but of which the ownership is not registered in the Land
Registries in the names of Jews.’’22
The areas registered annually under Jewish ownership since October 1920,
were stated to be as follows:

defeat the purposes of the Land Restrictions Regulations of 1940 of the Palestine
Government prohibiting Jews from purchasing Arab lands in certain zones, the Jewish
authorities arranged with certain non-Jewish land brokers to act as their agents in
the purchase of land in prohibited zones and to turn them over to the Jews after
registration in their names under irrevocable powers of attorney. Hence the difference
between the tax records and Jand registers.
