The plans call for naval and army operations which would completely blockade the coast.

From Palestine there came the secret report bv Ilaganah's radio that Britain had already concentrated troops around Haifa, the main port of entry, declaring that this "foreshadows complete stoppage of immigration followed bv renewed polite and military operations."

Over 1,900 Jewish infiltrees from Poland were said to have reached Vienna alone, with H00 more on their way.
