IN PALESTINE
SITUATION IMPROVED LOYALTY OF THE JEWS PLANS FOR SETTLEMENT {Official Wireless) RUGBY, Feb. 14 In reply to a question in the House of Commons concerning various aspects of conditions in Palestine, Mr Malcolm MacDonald said: *‘A steady improvement in the international situation in Palestine has been fully maintained. You are fully aware of the whole-hearted support which is being given by Jews throughout the world to the Allied cause, one of the purposes of which is the freeing of Jews from their cruel persecutors in Central Europe. “Britain’s policy allows for a very considerable degree of immigration of Jews into Palestine over the next ten years, and there is no question of departing from that policy. The legal quota allowed for some 10,000 Jews to go to Palestine and be settled in the last six months.”
