A nuhiber of arfests were made. - lt is officiaiiy announced ih Jerusalem that an unknown assaiiant snot dead a LOndonef, Corpofal L. oranV/eii, of tne Oxfbrdshire and ^uckntgnamshire Light dnfantry, iasc nignt while he was waixmg aiong Bethlehem Road. • Corporai cianweil was shot in the back and aied instantiy. The police have arrested an Arab suspect, but it is unae'rstood the nlufder nad no puimcai signihcance. Tne death roil as a result of the houei explosion is now 82. Tne temper of the British ofhcials in Palestine is now one of fierce .conuempt for all Jews who persist in tne nypocritical attitude of regret whne simuitaneousiy shieiding uerrorists from the police, says the jerusalem correspondent of the '"Ubserver." The general feeling is that the limit of forbearance has oeen reaehed, and that if London does not taice swilt action there is a serious possibility of wholesale resignations. A repiy sent by Sir John Shaw, Chief Becretary of the Palestine Government to a letter from Dr. Aitman, chairman oi the New Zaoiiisu Organisation, says the correspondent, is typical of the British attitude. Sir John Shaw said: "I have received your letter purport-' ing to express regret and sympatny over the dreadfui event of Juiy 22, in which more than 100 of my faithful colleagues and friends were massacred. Aeeording to their own pumisned boast, this crime was perpetrated by the national military organisation (the Irgun Zvai Leumi), which is associated with the' New Zionist Organisation. In liiese circumstances I find myself unabie to accept the expressions oi regret emanating from the central ohice of the New Zionists."
