A great proportion of the many Jewish refugees from rebel-controlled Spanish Morocco are not being admitted to the international territory although they face reprisals on their return home, it was learned today.
Responsibility for the refusal to admit the refugees was attributed to the Italian consul here, who is president of the International Control Committee.
Jews arriving here said they were fleeing rebel levies on their properties to finance the insurrection. The Jewish community of Tetuan was forced to make a "contribution" to the rebel cause they stated, and some Jewish leaders were arrested.
