PALESTINE RIOTS
SITUATION NOW QUIET. THE POSITION ANALYSED. ARABS’ MISTAKEN BELIEF. (United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (British Official Wireless.) Received October 31, 10.50 a.m. RUGBY, Oct. 30. According to reports reaching London, the situation in Palestine was today quiet, though some tension still exists after the riots of the weekend. This morning the High Commissioner, Sir Arthur Wauchope, visited the Government hospital at Jerusalem to which the wounded of Sunday s disturbances were taken. The formal opening of Haifa harbour to-morrow will take place, but the ceremony lias been curtailed. It would appear that the recent troubles largely originated in a mistaken belief among the Arab population that the 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 numbers of which are regulated by the capacity of Palestine profitably to absorb additional labour.
