Commissioner Robert E. H. Crosbie, in charge of the Southern District, threatened the press with penalties for carrying inciting material. He demanded that they stop issuing special supplements and ordered them not to deal with the controversial aspects of Friday’s demonstration. The Commissioner again declared that the police would disperse any attempts made by the Arabs to demonstrate against the continued Jewish immigration into Palestine.
The Arab Executive, which met in Jaffa today, decided not to surrender. They declared that they intend to have a greater success than they met in Jerusalem, when the police broke up their demonstration before it even started.
