OFFICERS SHOT AT IN PALESTINE
GOVERNMENT’S ABILITY TO MAINTAIN ORDER
(British Official Wireless.)
Rugby, December 18.
Speaking in the House of Commons. Dr. Shiels, Under-Secretary for the Colonies, confirmed that Dr. Berkowitz was shot at and wounded on December 3 at Safed, in Palestine, and his condition was serious. He added that ten minutes later, at the same place, an Arab Customs officer was shot at and wounded. The British Government was satisfied that the Palestine Government was capable of maintaining order in that country, but it was, of course, impossible, to guarantee in Palestine or elsewhere that isolated cases might not occur of offences against life and property.
