Polish Jews intending to enter Palestine under the capitalist category, which requires possession of $5,000, faced new difficulties today in obtaining visas.

The British Consulate is not issuing visas to applicants in that category unless they submit proof that they are withdrawing the required sum legally, without violating Polish currency export restrictions or that they possessed it in Palestine before April, 1936, when Poland enacted its currency law.
