The Palestine Government is considering imposing martial law in Tel Aviv in an effort to discover the persons involved in last Thursday’s attack on a military car park, during which seven British soldiers were killed, Colonial Secretary George Hall announced today in Commons.
Secretary Hall endorsed High Commissioner Sir Alan Cunningham’s description of the incident as “cold-blooded murder.” In answer to a query he confirmed the fact that the Jewish Agency had denounced the murder of the British soldiers.
