Government last week, authoriz-
ing military commanders to order
the forfeiture and destruction of
any buildings or other properties
from which outrages were per-
petrated or where the perpetra-
tors took shelter. The measure,
which is retroactive, is in corn-
- pliance with requests by the mil-
itary. Since in most cases owners
or residents of buildings figuring
in extremist acts are not aware of
what is occurring on their prop-
erty until afterwards, the meas-
ure will mean that buildings in-
volved in extremist acts months
ago may now be listed for de-
struction although their present
owners or occupants may not
have been there at the time of
the outrage.
Colonial Secretary Arthur
Creech-Jones indicated in Com-
mons that the British Govern-
ment had no plans for the im-
mediate imposition of martial
law in -Palestine in retaliation for
the hanging of two British ser-
geants by the Irgun.
Col. Oliver, Stanley, former
Colonial Minister, speaking for
the Conservative opposition, de-
manded a full debate on meas-
ures taken to combat activities in
Palestine. He was joined b y

ister Herbert Morrison promised
to try to arrange such a debate
next week.
