The Interior Ministry tonight announced that 18 of the German Jewish refugees who arrived at Veracruz aboard the Hamburg-America liner Iberia have been refused permission to land because their papers were not in order.

In the interval, Mexican immigration authorities will give individual examination to the case of each of the refugees.
