“Full agreement” on united action against the Arabs by the Haganah and the Irgun was reported to have been reached here last night following prolonged negotiations. The long-sought Jewish united front was brought about as a result of the formation of the Jewish Provisional Council of Government ## which all groups in the Jewish community are represented.
The Haganah has begun a campaign of “sanctions” against all persons who did not register for military or industrial service in the “draft” carried out recently ##y Jewish national institutions. Haganah military police, wearing identifying ##mbands, entered all public places and asked to see registration cards. Persons ##no did hot have their cards were warned hot to appear in public. Even American citizens, with the exception of students, have not been exempted from the work-fight conscription.(In Washington the State Department said that no report has been received from the U.S. Consul in Jerusalem that the Haganah is forcing American citizens in Pales-sine to register for conscription. Therefore, a spokesman said, the Department ##refers not to comment until it receives official information from the Consulate.)
