The Arab paper, Meraat Al Shark, published three reports that have reached the government concerning the activities of Subhi Al Khadra, manager of the Arab Executive’s office, against whom a court sentence is expected shortly. The first report shows that on April 8, Al Khadra, contrary to the desires of the Arab Executive, arranged with a group of Arabs in Northern Palestine to create disturbances on the day the Arabs found guilty of killing Jews during the riots were to be executed.

The second report indicates that on July 28, speaking at a meeting of the Arab Executive, Al Khadra declared, “We must prove to the government that we are not cowards for if we forget those who have been executed we will be considered cowards.” The third report shows that at a meeting of the Arab Executive on August 12, Al Khadra and others were elected a committee to tour the country to discuss non-cooperation with the Jews with local Arab notables.
