BRITISH POLICE IN FIGHT WITH FORCE OF ARABS

FORCED TO RETREAT TO ESCAPE DEATH

BRITISH CIVILIANS IN DANGER AT GAZA

Jerusalem, May 26,

A strategic retreat saved a party of ten British- police officers from annihilation near Meskha, at the foot of Mount Tabor, Lower Galilee to-day.

The police had arrested three Arabs for trespassing on Jewish fields and while they were taking them off they observed a party of 250 Arabs, armed with rifles, approaching and firing as they came.

The police returned the Arab fire with a Lewis gun at long range, but observing the attempt of the Arabs to outflank them, and because they were running short of ammunition they retreated to Meskha.

From that point they returned to the scene of the brush with military assistance, but the Arabs had de- camped, taking away their casualties as usual.

JOINT PLAN OF DEVELOPMENT

London, May 26.

A unified scheme for Empire-wide development and rationallation of industries and a systematic exchange of products was advocated by Dr. Earle Page, Minister. for Commerce in Australia, and Deputy Prime Minister, when speaking before the Royal Empire Sécinty to-day.

Australia had made a rosture which he hoped, he sold, would lend to the adoption of such a scheme. Her re cently announced adjustment economic

relations would provide Great Britain with an additional £3,- 000,000 in trade, but the ni of the Commonwealth was primarily to bring the peoples of the Empire to a realian tion of their oneness.

Page, should make up their minds Empire Governments, asserted Dr. that the industries of the British Em piro are complementary and not natagonistic. Then the way would be clear for them to go on to the goal, which was to ensure that British trade.

Londoff, May 25. Replying to Mr. F. S. Cocks, Labour, who asked questions about the arrest by the Italian authorities in Ethiopia of War- rant Offleer Bunner, and his alleged torture, Mr. Anthony Eden, the Foreign Secretary, made a statement to-night in the House of Commons.
