British police who have spent the past year vainly trying to keep Palestine's Jews and Arabs from each other's throats were faced with a new poser last week.

...warrants. Since they run the country's business and pay its taxes, the Jews of Palestine feel they should be offered nothing less than virtually the whole show. Businesslike, responsible Jews last week quietly passed the word around that rioting and news of rioting must end.
