It is fortunate that the Arabs are at present busy with their own disagreements and cannot make use of the internal struggle between Jewish factions, the magazine Near East and India, semi-official organ of the Colonial Office, declared today.
The magazine criticizes sharply the strife between the various Jewish groups, but at the same time took the Palestine government to task for the increase in illegal immigration into Palestine. The severity of the immigration rules laid down by the Palestine government which separate families and prevents brides from joining their husbands forces Jewish immigrants to try to enter Palestine illegally, the paper said.
