The move is believed to have followed renewed British pressure on the government to halt the movement of Jews to ##lestine as well as for internal reasons.The conference, which was called by the Ministry, was told that Jewish leaders, particularly the Zionists, would be held responsible for further illegal emigrantion. Warnings were also sent to Jewish leaders in Upper and Lower Silesia and in ## border towns. Frontier guards will be strengthened to implement the policy.
