Members or discharged members of the Allied forces who originally enlisted in Palestine, as well as their wives and children under the age of 18, are exempted from the laws restricting immigration to the country, it was announced in the Official Gazette today. They will be admitted to the country without any hindrance.
(A cable from the correspondent of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency in Prague reported that, after several months idling in Boehmia, about 200 Palestinian Jews, who were formerly Czech citizens and who volunteered for service with the Czech Army at the outbreak of the war under the promise that they would be allowed to return to Palestine at the end of the war, were finally informed today that they will be permitted to re-enter Palestine early next month.)
