146. My telegram 141, August 9, 11 a.m. Palestine Government has authorized joining August and September quotas permitting entry [Page 721] 3,000 in either month. Action taken because shipping difficulties make arrival Mauritius refugees during August doubtful. This makes provision for group referred to in Department’s telegram 147 August 613 and prevents charge of deliberate stretching of White Paper quota if either month is filled.
