Mr. Spicer, the Chief of the Palestine Police, has reached an agreement with the authorities of the Jewish town of Tel Aviv, the J.T.A. learns, which satisfies their main demands with regard to the maintenance of the Jewish character of the Tel Aviv police force.

Mr. Dizengoff, the Mayor of Tel Aviv. in his address of welcome to the High Commissioner, when he paid his first official visit to the town at the end of December, took the opportunity of raising with him the matter of the proposed abolition of the Tel Aviv police as a separate municipality force, which would have involved the abolition of its specifically Jewish character, and urged that the project should be dropped.
