No more entry visas to Palestine will be issued, for the time being, to Jewish immigrants, it was announced at a press conference here today by John V. W. Shaw, Chief Secretary of the Palestine Government. The final decision on Jewish immigration, he said, is up to the British Government in London, which must decide whether further visas are to be issued during the period that the Anglo-American inquiry commission is making its investigations.
