The Jewish National Council of Palestine decided today to send a delegation to Chief Secretary John Hathorn-Hall, acting executive in the absence of High Commissioner Wauchope, on the situation in Tiberias and Safed. The delegation will ask immediate action to liquidate what is described as a “cold pogrom” being conducted by Arabs in these cities. A protracted Arab boycott, followed by a Jewish counter-boycott, precipitated disorders in Tiberias over the week-end in which more than 70 persons were wounded.
The council also decided to cable the London executive of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, outlining the general situation in Palestine and demanding immediate strong intervention.
