A new wave of anti-Jewish terrorism is about to break ever the Holy Land, it was feared tonight, according to the Havas News Agency.
From Acre came news that Moslems and Christians had formed an organization under the banner “Christ and Mohammed,” to combat the extension of Judaism and Zionism, Havas said.
High Commissioner Sir Arthur Grenfell Wauchope, about to leave for England, reminded the Arab High Committee tonight that the Government intends to maintain order, the Agency stated.
Arab lawyers meanwhile were readying a petition demanding the release of political suspects imprisoned following the recent series of disorders, according to Havas.
Further fuel was seen added to the unrest by the arrests of 12 Jews attempting to smuggle themselves across the northern border without proper papers, the report said.
