On behalf of the American Federation of Labor, President, William Green has cabled to British Labor Minister Ernest Bevin urging intervention with the Palestine Government for admission of some 1,700 Jewish refugees who have been barred from landing at Haifa, it was disclosed today.
The message said that the refugees came to Palestine by right and asked that they be admitted at least for the duration of the war.
