The committee members were chosen by the rebel leaders at Deir
Ghassaneh Conference.
The committee for publications was responsible for printing and
distributing the revolt communiques, as well as any orders issued by the
revolt Commanders, either to the rebels, or to the public.™
"The public was getting the revolt’s orders by pamphlets
which were stuck on the walls in the towns and villages, as
the revolt did not have a radio station, for example.”
The finance committee was responsible for money coming in for the
revolt and for keeping a record of expenditure, as well as being
responsible for supplies to the revolt. *The committee of public relations
maintained direct communication with the people. Its functions were
similar to those of municipalities; to observe the needs of the public in a
situation of civil disobedience and lack of government services.” As
people stopped paying taxes, many services were stopped, such as
checking the hygiene of shops which sold meat or dairy
products. According to this Committee’s recommendations, the
Legislative Committee would pass laws to the public concerning
domestic issues, such as prices, or quality of goods sold.
"The General Command of The Arab Revolt in
Palestine A Communique to the Butchers:-
It was brought to the notice of the General Command that
you do not follow the health instructions concerning the
quality of meat you sell to the public, and by doing so, you
are endangering the health of the public. The Arab
Command is warning you, that you should follow the
municipal instructions concerning health in connection
with your work. Any Butcher who does not obey these
instructions will be severely punished.
(Signed) ’Aref Abd al-Raziq" #
