The Daily Telegraph in a dispatch from its Jerusalem correspondent quoting informed quarters there reports that High Commissioner Sir Alan G. Cunningham in his most recent interview with Isaac Ben Zvi, president of the Jewish National Council and chairman of the temporary Jewish Agency executive, said that he would give the Agency’s plan for halting terrorism no more than a week’s trial.
If its measures are not immediately effective, Sir Alan is reported to have said, the army and police forces will re-impose stringent restrictions which were recently lifted as a conciliatory gesture toward the Jewish community.
