The hope that a separate Jewish unit in the British Army will be among the Allied troops which will occupy Germany after hostilities cease was voiced in Dorchester yesterday by Lord Strabolgi, Laborite pear, addressing a reception to Palestine Jewish units who recently arrived in Britain for special training. Lord Strabolgi revealed that he has seen Lord Gort, new High Commissioner for Palestine, with whom he discussed various problems affecting Palestine. He warned that the Palestine problem must be solved soon.
