A JERUSALEM DISPATCH BY JOSEPH M. LEVY TO THE NEW YORK TIMES TODAY STATES THAT UNLESS THERE IS AN END OF BRITAIN’S STRAINED RELATIONS WITH ITALY, IT IS DOUBTFUL WHETHER PEACE WILL BE RESTORED IN PALESTINE.
THE DISPATCH SAYS THAT ARAB FARMERS AND BUSINESS MEN WISE PEACE, THAT PRESENT TROUBLES ARE DUE TO A HANDFUL OF SYRIAN TERRORISTS SMUGGLED INTO THE COUNTRY AND FINANCED FROM A MYSTERIOUS SOURCE AND CONCLUDES THAT “THE TROUBLE IS THE WORK OF ITALY, FISHING IN TROUBLED WATERS TO IRRITATE BRITAIN.”
