Food Minister John Strachey has asked Britain’s 15 divisional food officers for reports of hotels and clubs in their areas which bar Jews, it was learned today. Strachey and his legal staff will study the reports to see if there are any cases serious enough to warrant withdrawal of food permits from the restaurateurs.

A three-man Palestine delegation has arrived in Hull to attend the Intenational Conference of Fishermen. The Jews represent the Histadruth, the Tel Aviv fishermen’s cooperative and the Athlit collective fishing settlement. They have been accorded every opportunity to study the British fishing industry both at sea and ashore.
