Misleading statements, for example, have been made, and despite correc- tion, are repeated regarding the post- tion at Haram Esh Shariff. It hus always been the policy of the Manda- tory Power to preserve in full the reverence and decorum of holy places sacred to Moslems, Christians and Jews. But Haram Esh Sharkit differs from certain other structures in that it constitutes an extension of an area honeycombed with hiding-places, of which malefactors somethines take ndvantage.
