The ban on Zionist activities and fund collection in effect since Jan. 9, has been lifted by the Rumanian Government.
Conditions set by the Government in withdrawing the ban were: 1) That all funds raised in Rumania be used only for reconstruction activities in Palestine; 2) that emigration to Palestine proceed only on the basis of certificates legalized by the British Consulate.
The conditions, imposed at the request of the British Government, were designed to prevent assistance to illegal Palestine immigration activities conducted by various groups here and in other Danube countries.
