A Jewish weekly, “Bemaaracha”, (“The Front”), edited by Ben Ahron, a lawyer, has been closed down by the authorities today, the second Jewish paper suspended this week, on account of an article which it published on Friday, headed “Be Prepared”. The authorities claim that the article is one which they consider likely to cause a disturbance of the peace.

“Bemaaracha” is a new periodical, which started publication only a few months ago, and in the last few weeks it has been concentrating on cataloguing all cases of Arabs found in possession of arms, in order to disprove the Arab allegation that the Jews are arming against the Arabs.
