It was ascertained today that only five Jewish refugees, all of them Hungarian nationals, were returned by the British authorities last week from Palestine. They were among about 2,000 Jewish refugees who entered Palestine illegally last February after having been marooned for months at Sulina, Rumania. No other action to return illegal immigrants has been taken by the Palestine authorities.
