Mr. SAMUEL

The total number of motor cars, complete, imported into Palestine, amounted to 305 in the year 1924 and to 656 during the first 10 months of 1925. Later particulars are not yet available. Details as to the individual countries whence these cars were imported are not given in the published Trade Returns, but it is stated that the principal source of supply was the United States.
