AN APPEAL TO THE JEWISH POPULATION NOT TO ANSWER PROVOCATION AND NOT TO ATTACK INNOCENT PERSONS, BUT PEACEFULLY TO CONTINUE DAILY WORK, WAS ISSUED TODAY BY THE JEWISH NATIONAL COUNCIL, WHICH REMINDED THE JEWS OF THEIR “HEROIC SELF-RESTRAINT” DURING LAST YEAR’S RIOTS.
THE ARAB HIGH COMMITTEE ISSUED A STATEMENT, THE CORRESPONDENT OF THE TIMES OF LONDON REPORTED, DEPLORING THE SLAYINGS OF ARABS AS APPARENTLY REPRISALS FOR OUTRAGES WHOSE AUTHORS WERE UNKNOWN.
THE STATEMENT APPEALED TO THE ARABS FOR SELF-RESTRAINT AND RELIANCE ON THE EFFORTS OF FOREIGN ARAB RULERS IN THEIR BEHALF, ADDING THAT THE ARABS HAD GREAT HOPES FOR INTERVENTION BY NEIGHBORING ARAB STATES AND TURKEY WITH THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS. THEREFORE, THE ARABS SHOULD NOT BE LED BY EXTREMISTS INTO VIOLENCE, THE STATEMENT CONCLUDED, EXPRESSING THE HOPE THE DISORDERS WOULD QUICKLY SUBSIDE.
