Resolutions protesting Government assistance to the Arab Supreme Committee and restrictions on Jewish participation in defense against disorders were adopted today at the closing session of the thirty-fourth annual convention of the Histadruth, Jewish general federation of Labor in Palestine.
The conference asserted that the Arab committee, which directed the six-month general strike against the Government and the Jews, was responsible for the disturbances last year.
Another resolution urged the Jewish community to stand up against hard times and appealed to the world to assist in the upbuilding of the Jewish national home.
