As demonstrated in Tables 2 and 3, the number of Jewish immigrants
who entered Palestine during the 1930s had by far exceeded that during
the 1920s. Moreover, further pressure on the economy was also exerted
by the imbalanced distribution of settlers over the years. For
example, from a yearly average of 4,555 Jewish immigrants entering
Palestine between 1930-31, the number cf immigrants in 1932 rose _ to
9,553. In @ two year period only, between 1$33-35, 1:2 thousand legal
and about 20-30 thousand illegal Jewish immigrants entered the
country (Saed,E., 1969:37).
In addition to its overall small scale, immigration during the
1920s was largely a middle class phenomenon. Of these immigrants
(Table 2), 26.2 per cent, defined as "money owners", were described as
small business men (Saed,E. 1969:41; Gozansky, 1986:106) and 36.4 per
cent as independent workers. In contrast, however, the large-scale
immigration during the 1930s was characterized by two extreme classes:
