Colonial Secretary Malcolm MacDonald is contravening even the provisions of his own White Paper in the immigration regulations for Palestine, Prof. L.B. Namier, the historian, and former Political secretary to the Jewish Agency for Palestine, charged in a letter to The Times yesterday. Dr. Namier pointed out that although the White Paper provides that 25,000 refugees may enter Palestine as soon as their maintenance is assured, refugees in the capitalist category are not permitted to bring their families to Palestine. ”Jews in Vienna, Berlin and Prague are told they may go to Prague provided they leave their wives and children under the Nazis,” he said.
