A party of eight refugee young persons have left for Palestine from London under the auspices of the Youth Aliyah organization. All 1,500 young refugees who received immigration certificates under the last schedule are now in Palestine or en route, including a party of 169 from the Greater Reich who were selected and trained before the outbreak of the war.
It is understood that the Palestine Government is now considering the request of the Youth Aliyah Department of the Central Bureau for Settlement of German Jews in Palestine for a large number of additional certificates for children and youths.
