PALESTINE SECURITY
PATIENCE OF BRITAIN ORDER TO BE RESTORED British Wireless RUGBY, Not. 3 Questioned in the House of Commons on the action taken against the Arab Higher Committee, the Colonial Secretary, Mr. W. Ormsby-Gore, recalled that it was the direct result of the recent campaign of murder and terrorism. He said that the British Government was fully satisfied that the activities of the Arab Higher Committee had be>en prejudicial to the maintenance of public security, and that its members must be regarded as morally responsible.
For a whole year the Government had exercised exemplary patience in the face of murder, outrage and rebellion. It had now come to the conclusion that forbearance had been mistaken for weakness. "It is essential to restore order in Palestine if the lives of moderates — Arabs and Jews alike —are to be saved," said the Minister.
