Colonel Wedgwood asked the Secretary of State for India in the House of Commons to-day whether he could state how many of the 60 casualties at Aden were Jews and how many were Arabs.
Sir Samuel Hoare, the Secretary of State for India, replied that 25 were Jews. It was not stated in the telegraphic communications, he said, whether all the others were Arabs.
A report on the disturbances is expected shortly by mail, he added. Meanwhile the police commissioner has telegraphed that the situation is normal.
