LONDON PARLEYS CONTINUE
London, Feb, 18, The Palestine talks between the Dritish Government and the Jewish delegation continued to a late hour last night and have not yet reached the sphere of specific detail.
Three more speeches have been made en geseral principles, one by the representative of East European' Jewry.
The delegates afterwards examin- ed closely the difficulties in regard to immigration to, Palestine. It is understood that this subject is likely to give the conference more trouble than most of the other toples to be discussed, as the Arabs demand cessation of irumigration at the pre- sent rate, whereas the Jews are sald to find it impossible at the present stage of their history to accept any substantial reduction of the present policy-Reuter,
