QUIET IN PALESTINE
CAUSE OF THE RIOTS.
[OFFICIAL WIRELESS.]
RUGBY, October 30.
According to reports reaching London, the situation in Palestine was today quiet, though some tension still exists after the riots during the weekend.
This morning, the High Commissioner (Sir D. Wauchope) visited the Government hospital at Jerusalem, to which the wounded in Sunday’s disturbances were taken.
The formal opening of Haifa Harbour to-morrow, wijt take place, but the ceremony has been curtailed. It appears that the recent troubles largely originated from a. mistaken belief among the Arab population, that events in Germany had led to the admission to Palestine of a number of Jewish emigrants. The fact is that immigrants of all nationalities are controlled by the Palestine Government, particularly as regards those seeking employment, the number of whom are regulated by the capacity or Palestine profitably to absorb additional labour.
