The British Consulate has notified Jewish institutions here that it will ease conditions on which tourists to Palestine may obtain visas.
Instead of the $300 deposit required by the immigration regulations from each tourist as guarantee that he will not remain in Palestine, the British Consulate will accept written guarantees from travel bureas or from the Polish Palestine Chamber of Trade, upon which it will issue the desired visa.
The modification announced by the British Consulate will make it possible for many Jews from Poland to proceed to Palestine as tourists for the Maccabiad and for the Passover holidays.
