The British Government has spent $170,000 on the measures undertaken by the Palestine Government following the recent disturbances in that country. This was the statement made yesterday by Philip Snowden, Chancellor of the Exchequer, in response to a question raised in the House of Commons. This sum does not include the expenditures made from Palestinian funds nor the value of British stores issued from stock. No accurate figure has yet been reached as to the ultimate cost of the outbreaks.
