Reestablishment of Jewish medical offices in Arab towns was seen today as another indication of improving Arab-Jewish relations.
The newspaper Haboker reports that several Jewish doctors of Tel Aviv, mostly immigrants from Germany, have set up offices in Jaffa and others are settling down in Ramleh and Lydda. All Jewish doctors left Arab towns and villages after the murder of Dr. Joseph Lehr at Beisan during the 1937 Arab disorders.
Meanwhile, Arab-Jewish cooperation in the citrus industry is continuing, with a trip to London by a joint delegation reportedly scheduled for an early date. The delegation will seek abolition of United Kingdom duties on Palestine oranges and will apply for a long-term loan to assist the citrus industry, it was reported. Frequent conferences of Arab and Jewish citrus growers are being held to effect trade improvement through cooperation between the two groups.
