Mr. Mayer Dizengoff, the Mayor of the Jewish township of Tel Aviv, complained to-day to the High Commissioner, General Sir Arthur Wauchope, when he paid his first official visit to the town, against the decision of the authorities to merge the Tel Aviv Police Force with the general Palestine Police Force, objecting that the abolition of this distinctively Jewish police force, the only one in the world, using Hebrew as the language of command, would be regarded as a blow to the Jewish development in Palestine.
