Six thousand, seven hundred and fifty immigration certificates are requested from the Palestine government by the Jewish Agency Executive for the period of October to March, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency learns today from a very reliable source.
If these are granted, the total will represent the largest approved by the Palestine government since 1926, when 10,000 immigration certificates were issued.
The Jewish Agency Executive asked 2,750 certificates for the last six month period and received 2,000.
