A solemn pact never to attack the Jews in the Pica colony, Pardess Chana, was concluded today by a Bedouin tribe neighboring the colony, which since 1932 had harbored animosity against the Jews.

The conclusion of the peace pact was celebrated with elaborate ceremonies attended by a thousand Arabs, tribal chiefs, Jews and government officials.
