The general situation in Palestine on the eleventh day of the Arab anti-Jewish riots was one of comparative quiet and symptoms were accumulating that the situation is improving.

Searches were undertaken by the British authorities in the Arab villages in the vicinity of Jerusalem. One hundred and sixty Arab villagers at Liffa, the nest of the agitators, near Motza, were arrested.

Thirty-five Jews were arrested in Haifa and seventeen in Tel Aviv on the charge of possessing firearms for defense.
