A general strike was staged today in Lebanon in protest against the decision of the British Government to admit 1,500 Jews monthly to Palestine pending the report of the Anglo-American inquiry committee. There were no incidents.

A government spokesman told the parliament yesterday that the Lebanese Cabinet has decided to instruct its delegation to the United Nations Organization to raise the Palestine question before the UNO General Assembly in London.
