§ 99. Major Legge-Bourkeasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if his attention has been drawn to the refusal of certain Palestinian newspapers to print photographs and particulars of wanted terrorists; which papers have so refused; what reasons have been given for the refusal; and what steps he is taking to ensure that the people of Palestine are 328W acquainted with the appearance and particulars of the wanted men.
Mr. Creech JonesI understand that it is not altogether correct that any Palestinian newspapers have refused to publish photographs and particulars of wanted Jewish terrorists. The matter was discussed informally with representatives of the Jewish Press by the Palestine authorities, who decided not to make any formal request for such publication. As regards the last part of the Question, pamphlets and posters containing photographs and particulars of the wanted men have been prepared and are being widely distributed by the police.
