    • Abstract:
      The Arab strike, which lasted six months, is over; violence, too, has temporarily subsided. The 30,000 soldiers whom Great Britain has dextrously slipped into Palestine will maintain order as a side duty, until something happens. A leading Arab said to the author that either a European war will break out in a year or two or it will not. If war comes, people shall have their chance because England will not be able to keep so many soldiers here. A Royal Commission will soon arrive to investigate the last outbreak and suggest a solution that will prevent bloodshed in the future. But Palestine has had commissions in the past. They have issued voluminous reports but they have not brought peace. Neither Arabs or Zionists are optimistic about the results of the new commission. British commissions are designed to safeguard British interests, not to help the country.
