Palestine Quiet

Referring to Palestine, Lurd Halifax old the situation there re- mains quiet and, upart from isolated acts of bandlity, the country was enjoying a respite from internal dis- order.

The release from internment of large number of Arabs was received with appreciation.

One effect of Italy's entry had been to strengthen pro-British sentiment in all sections of the community.

The Jewish community was co- operating fully in matters of defence and the emergency measures which the present situation demanded, while the co-operation of the Arabs, who viewed with abhorrence the pro- spect of the application of Palestine of the Itailan methods of colonication in Libya, was no less whole-hearted. Close Tics With Turkey "We remain bound to Turkey by the closest ties," continued Lord Halifax. He recalled that on Italy's entry into the war, the Turkish Pri- me Minister declared that Turkey would maintain the attitude of non- belligerency
