The Struma disaster resulted in a drastic change in the British policy concerning the Jewish immigration to Palestine. They understood that they could not stop these ships without sinking them. [Gold] That was why they asked Turkey to allow any further ships pass from the Bosporus and Dardanelles: After consultation with the Colonial Office instructions will presumably have to be sent to H.M. Ambassador at Angora to explain an explanation which will presumably have to be conveyed to the Turks, in as non-committal fashion as possible (the Turk takes a hint very easily) that if other illegal ships appear in the Dardanelles they must be allowed to go on rather than run the risk of another “Struma” disaster and the consequent odium accruing to H.M. Government. FO 371/32662 (Minute of Mr. Randall- Foreign Office) Mar. 12, 1942 [Public] Even Sir Harold MacMichael, afraid of a grave unrest in Palestine, agreed that a second Struma disaster should not happen: MacMichael has assured him that unless we can give the Jews some reassurance, there will be very serious trouble in Palestine, if there is another Struma disaster.
