ALL ITALIAN NEWSPAPERS GAVE SYMPATHETIC ACCOUNTS TODAY OF THE EXECUTION IN ACRE LAST SATURDAY OF SHEIKH FARHAN ESSADI, AGED ARAB TERRORIST CHIEF, WHOSE “HEROISM” THEY PRAISE AS THAT OF A MARTYR.

DECLARING SHEIKH FARHAN PERSONIFIED THE NATIONAL ASPIRATIONS OF THE PALESTINE ARABS, THE PAPERS ASSERT THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT’S REFUSAL TO GRANT HIM A REPRIEVE SHOWS THAT IT HAS EMBARKED ON A COURSE OF “IMPLACABLE SUPPRESSION OF ALL HUMAN AND NOBLE SENTIMENTS.”
