The organization of a joint union of Arab and Jewish newspaper publishers is urged today by the editor of the Arab paper, Falastin. Such a union would serve to protect the papers against repressive measures by the government and would be a powerful means of impressing the government that its attitude to the press is unjust.
A conference of Arab and Jewish publishers, suggested by Dr. Wolfgang von Weisl on behalf of the Doar Hayom, is to be held shortly. When the Doar Hayom and the Falastin were suspended last week, the Arab paper Al Hayat, proposed that all papers discontinue publication until the government definitely defines what news is printable and what is not. The suspension of the Doar Hayom and the Falastin was lifted yesterday.
