Last year’s Palestine riots benefited the British exclusively because since then the Palestine administration has become increasingly Anglicized, complains the Arab paper, “Meraat El Shark.” The paper recalls that while Sir Herbert Samuel, the Jewish first high commissioner, increased the number of Arab officials in the government, his successor, Lord Plumer, and the incumbent, Sir John Chancellor, have reversed this policy.
