Jewish newspapers today hailed the new neutrality legislation of the United States, although pointing out regretfully that it could be expected to bar American ships from sailing for Palestine.

Trade relations between Palestine and Turkey were discussed by Turkish Consul-General Karaspan, who told the Hebrew daily Haboker that Ankara was eager to develop trade relations with Palestine and outlined the possibility of £1,000,000 shipments annually each way.
