For every German Jewish child going to Palestine, the World Zionist Executive must deposit with the Palestine government pound48 for the seventeen year olds; and pound96 for the sixteen year olds, and pound144 for the younger children, it was announced today. The treasurer of the Jewish Agency for Palestine will be obliged to furnish guarantees that none of the children will become public charges in Palestine.
As a consequence of the new regulations, the Jewish Agency for Palestine announced that it will accept only German Jewish children above the age of fifteen and will require a deposit of pound36 for each child.
