ish refugees, who have spent the
last three weeks aboard three Bri-
tish ships anchored off this port,
were reported today to have asked
Premier Ramadier to intercede
with Britain to permit them to
enter Palestine.
Jewish representatives here gave

go ashore, although they describ-
ed their present situation as "in-
supportable.”

Great Britain to force the depar-
ture of these ships that will take us

refugees had "begun a hunger
strike against our internment on
cage ships in French territorial
waters.” the British consulate at
Marseille denied that a hunger
strike was in progress.
The consulate said one of its rep-
resentatives had visited all three
