41. The Secretary of State in reply (15th May) to the Agency refused to grant any of the Agency requests but agreed to certain modifications, which are described below :-

(a) persons in 'safe' countries prevented from coming to Palestine by difficulties of transport may barn the validity of their certificates extended provided that the total of 75,000 places shall not have been filled;
