The Jews of Yemen are hit the hardest by the suspension order declared Itzhak Aricho addressing a Yemenite meeting of protest here. “We raise our voices to God, mankind and our brethren everywhere to get the order rescinded.” Betichi, another speaker, said that if the order is maintained it will mean the annihilation of 50,000 Jews from Yemen who cannot hope to enter Palestine as persons of means.

Former soldiers in the Jewish Legion, which as a British army corps helped conquer Palestine, at a mass meeting here urged their comrades all over the world to mobilize all their influence against the immigration ban.
