PALESTINE POSITION
GRADUAL BUT MARKED IMPROVEMENT. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, August 8. News from Palestine today indicates a gradual but marked improvement in the conditions. The High Commissioner, Sir Harry Mac Michael, is taking leave and will be absent from Palestine for two months. He toured the Beersheba sub-district last weekend. Authority has been given for the resumption of 37 more Arab bus routes, mainly in the south. Sporadic terrorist acts continue. A land-mine exploded yesterday under a truck, seriously injuring the driver. Satisfactory progress is being made in an informal discussion between the economic adviser to the Palestine Government and the citrus producers, and it is hoped that before the end of the present export season detailed proposals for more orderly handling of shipments of citrus crops through a control board with statutory powers and functions will have been formulated.
