There was a dramatic quarter of an hour in the session of the Royal Commission when Earl Peel, chairman, virtually accused a Jewish agency of conniving a large-scale illicit immigration of Jews.
Dr. Shertok, chief of the department, of the agency controlling immigration, admitted that Jews had entered outside the quota. The agency did not take steps to deport them.
Lord Peel pointed out that the agency had high responsibilities to aid the authorities in enforcing the law at which it was apparently winking
Dr. Shertok said the Government had not asked an agency to provide information of Illicit immigration. It was decided after repeated discussions to do nothing regarding the matter except to issue warnings. He added that a Jew would never give away another in such circumstances.
