The Palestine Post reported that two Arabs died and 26 Arabs and
Armenians were injured by a bomb which exploded inside the Jaffa
Gate on June 8. Mr. Ormsby Gore, the colonial secretary, told the
House of Commons in London that the Palestine government was taking
all possible action to protect life, property and communications in
the country. The Palestine government was granted further emergency
powers under the Palestine (Defense) Order in Council of 1931.
