Compilation of Proclamations in Response to the "Land Transfer Regulations", 1940s
Seventeen proclamations of protest printed in response to the "White Paper" and the limitations imposed in the "Land Transfer Regulations". Palestine, 1940s (most are from 1940). Hebrew and English.
Pamphlets and notices printed by the "Tel Aviv Labor Council" and the "Jewish Community in Jerusalem", calling for a general strike and a protest demonstration, a statement of the "People's Council Assembly", a notice protesting the censorship imposed on the Hebrew press and two harsh notices implicitly calling for a violent struggle. Seven of the notices are large and were intended to be pasted on billboards.
The "Land Transfer Regulations", legislated in February 1940, prohibited Jews from purchasing land and were applied to 95% of the lands of Palestine.
17 proclamations. Size and condition vary. Good overall condition.
