The government of Palestine was asked to issue permits for the admission of 1,000 Chaluzim to the country, in a memorandum submitted by the Zionist Executive in Jerusalem.
This request was made in addition to the previous 200 permits asked for Russian Zionists who were sentenced to exile by the Soviet government but will be permitted to leave the country on the condition that they proceed to Palestine. These 200 permits were refused by the Palestine authorities.
