PALESTINE UNREST
ARAB HIGHER COMMITTEE WHY BRITAIN TOOK ACTION [ British Official Wireices.] ■RUGBY, Nov. 3. Questioned in the House of Commons on the action taken against the Arab Higher Committee, the Colonial Secretary, Hon. W. O. Gore, recalled that it was the direct result of the recent campaign of murder and terrorism, and declared that the British Government was fully satisfied that the activities of the Arab High Committee had been prejudicial to the maintenance of public security and that its members must be regarded as morally responsible for these events. For a whole year, the Government had exercised exemplary patience in the face of murder, outrage, and rebellion, and it came to the conclusion that forbearance had been mistaken for weakness. It was essential to restore order in Palestine if the lives of the moderates—Arabs and Jews alike —are to be saved.
