The Soi'tiiehn I SHA EUTK Page 29 ( ;0\KRNMENT OF PALESTINE BETRAYED THE JEWS (Continued from Pape 27) of the sexton, who told me . t ' t he Arabs had thrashed him ouri'lly and, incidentally, had stolen four pounds from him. I saw' that • h,. table on which the scrolls of the 7 r;i h were placed had not been broken, but stolen; I saw that all the am p ,-hairs, wash bowls, lanterns int j , ven the towels had been stolen bv the pressure of the crowd;’ and I saw the heaps of ashes from which I myself took the remains of the m rned and torn books of Psalms and I„-t mentations—although the Acting Governor asked me not to do so, lest p.jbln opinion be aroused. • That I had acted properly trans pired that very evening, when the h. ad of the administration denied to correspondent of the New York Turn" that anything had been burn- , d. describing all such stories as news- >ciper lies. Thereupon I handed the evidence to the authorities. The next day was the Sabbath. Ih. city was tilled with rumors of Arab intentions to attack the Wailing Wall again. In the face of the mani- v«: ill-will of the administration the .lew- undertook to defend themselves n the worst days after the war. ision of the British Trumpeldor marched to the Wailing Wall and ockaded the place of worship so f hat Arab passers-by could not dis turb the prayers. The police design ed to co-operate with the Trumpel- !• !- and guarded the roads leading •he Wall; in other words, they did hat they might have done the day < a* fore if they had wished. The seemed to be over—the British it"vet nmerit seemed to he ready to in- ■- r vene at last. "Hut it was destined otherwise; ‘bat day saw the spilling of blood. N"t at the Wailing Wall, where the Jews were prepared for self-defense, but in a suburb, in the Bukharian quarter inhabited by the proletariat of Oriental Jewry. Arabs attacked some Jewish boys who were playing football; all of the children were in jured, one mortally. This was the beginning of a series of assaults. The police—almost one hundred per cent. Arab—did nothing. “There were cases of Jews captur ing their Arab assailants and giving them over to the police—whereupon the latter would release the Arab and arrest the Jews on the charge, sworn to by an Arab policeman, of being the aggressor. There was the case of a Jew, the blood flowing from his in juries, coming in to the police station only to hear from the Arab police man: ‘It’s a pity you’re simply wound ed, and not dead.’ “Still the Jews maintained the peace,” von Weisl says. Describing the funeral of the first Jewish boy killed by the Arabs, he writes: “The British —who had not dared interfere with the Arab demonstrators who had burn ed the sacred books of the Jews at the Wailing Wall—now had the courage to advance against the funeral cortege. With their clubs they attacked the Jews from three sides; they drove an army car into the procession.” In conclusion, the correspondent writes: “If the Zionist Executive does not obtain the removal of the guilty of ficials of the fury and indignation which the heads of the Palestine gov ernment evoked against themselves will ultimately turn against Britain herself. And that would be tragic— exceedingly tragic. For the Jews, who cannot colonize without Britain, and for Britain, whose only friends in all Asia are the Jews of Palestine.” Goodwill Committee Will Continue Its W ork N' \v A ork, (.1. T. A.)
