The Government’s lenient attitude towards the Arab press was roundly scored in English and Jewish circles and even by Arab merchants as responsible for yesterday’s disturbances in which several British policemen were wounded in a clash with an Arab mob at Haifa.
It was pointed out that inflammatory articles have appeared in the Arab press in the past few days. The Government was also criticized for granting permission for a public funeral of the three Arab brigands who had been slain in a battle with police in the Gilboa Hills two days ago. The funeral was turned into a big campaign against Great Britain.
