The policy of Arab non-co-operation announced on Saturday by the Arab Executive following a conference, will take the form of refusal to pay government taxes and a boycott of British goods, it was announced yesterday by the Arab press.
The Arab press emphasizes that the present move on the part of the Arabs will mark a serious turning point in attitude toward Great Britain.
It is believed that the sudden aggressiveness displayed by the Arabs is inspired by the so-called National League of Great Britain in London which is pro-Arab in its sympathies.
The Palestine High Commissioner, Sir Arthur Grenfell Wauchope, is receiving telegrams from various Arab organizations protesting against his statement given to an Arab delegation that the Palestine government finds it impossible to stop Jewish immigration to Palestine and land sales to Jews.
Arab leaders also warn the High Commissioner that his attitude may precipitate a recurrence of the anti-Jewish riots of 1929.
The Arab Executive, it is learned, plans to put a ban on Arabs who sell their land to the Jews and to bar them and their families from burial in Moslem cemeteries.
