JEWS IN PALESTINE
TWELVE-HOUR STRIKE PROTEST AGAINST STROUMA TRAGEDY. REFUGEES REFUSED ENTRY. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.50 p.m.) JERUSALEM,. February 27. On the instructions of the Jewish National Council? all Palestinian Jews carried out a twelve-hour strike as a protest against the refusal to allow the entry of Strouma refugees. The political committee of the Zionist Federation of Britain passed a resolution associating itself with the statement of the Jewish Agency in Palestine, expressing grief and indignation at the tragedy which had taken place because of the refusal of the Palestine Administration to allow victims of the Nazi terror in Rumania to enter the national home. With about 750 Jews on board, the steamer Strouma sank near the Dardanelles zone. The passengers had applied for permission to enter Palestine, which the British authorities refused, and were being sent back to Europe. The Berlin radio, quoting a message from Ankara, said that only 60 of the emigrants aboard the Strouma have been saved.
