Insecurity will continue as long as Great Britain pursues a Zionist policy necessitating the concentration of police forces in the towns for the protection of the Jews, Arab notables from Nablus told Inspector-General Dowbiggin, now engaged in reorganizing the Palestine police force.
Victor Kohen, a representative of the Palestine Colonization Association, described to Inspector-General Dowbiggin, whom he met in Haifa, the insecurity of the Pica colonies in Gallilee and proposed measures to improve conditions.
Discussing the approaching reorganization of the police, M. Glickson, editor of the Hebrew paper “Ha’Eretz”, says that “it is insufficient merely to correct the proportion of Jews to non-Jews but it is necessary to remove the Arab police from their present surroundings and it is essential to ruthlessly eliminate all who failed in their duty during the riots and it is important to eradicate those elements from the police force who witnessed without interfering the murder of 26 Jews in Jerusalem, about 70 in Hebron and more than a score in Safed.”
