The decision of the Syrian authorities to permit Jewish immigration into Syria is considered in the London Times today a very important step on the part of the French government to attract Jewish capital into Syria.

This measure, the Times says, is considered necessary in order to avoid possible Jewish claims for modifying the Syrian frontier in favor of Palestine.
