The grievance of the Arab would be a discredit to the Jew, and in the result the moral Influence of Zionism would be gravely impaired. SimultaLeously there must be satisfaction of that sentiment regarding Palestine a worthy and ennobling sentiment which, in Increasing degree, animates the Jewries of the world. The aspirations of these 14,000,000 of people They ask also have a right to be considered. for the opportunity to establish a home in the land which was the political and has always been the religious center of their race. They ask that this home should possess national characteristics In language and customs, in intellectual interests, in religious and political institutions. This is not to say that Jewish immigration is to Involve Arab emigration, that the greater prosperity of the country, through the development of Jewish enterprises, Is to be at the expense, and not to the benefit of the Arabs, that the use of Hebrew is to imply the disappearance of Arabic, that the establishment of elected councils in the Jewish community for the control of Its affairs is to be followed by the subjection of the Arabs to the rule of those cotinclls. In a word, the degree to which Jewish national aspirations can be fulfilled In Palestine is condi DEALERS WANTED In Utah. Idaho, Wyoming. Liberal commission will send , representative-orequest. A. E.

The view of Jerusalem as one leaves the Ganden of Geth-- I semane draws the heart with sympathy, writes William D. McCracken In Asia. The walls rise severely above bare slopes where nothing grows, for it is outside the city proper that bibli-- . cal prophecies of the desolation of Jerusalem seem to be fulfilled. Today the city stands midway between the hor-- . rors of the Turkish regime and the promised good of the British mandatory rule. Nothing has been done as yet in a public way to beautify the city. North and west the houses straggle oulside the walls; on the south forbidding slopes border the load to Bethlehem; and on the east lies the terrible valley of Jehoshaphat a valley of dry bones. Seventeen times destroyed bitterly hated anxiously sought how desperate a history since Nebuchadnezzar captured it more than twenty-fiv- e centuries ago. Redeemed today, but in her nakedness, Jerusalem waits to be clothed. She has as yet no grace, no covering for her ugly wounds. Some day her aides will glisten with the brightness of a heavenly radiance.; she will be washed and anointed like a bride waiting for the bridegroom. The prophetic part of this is written, of course, In Oriental imagery. Sir Herbert Samuel, the British high commissioner, puts the situation in plain English and says. In his report to parliament: Undeveloped and underpopulated, Palestine has possibilities of far more prosperity than the standard attained before the war. And Palestine!! future Is the concern of half the world. Christian, Jew and Moslem see in Palestine a holy land. It is a most interesting situation that Is being worked out under our very eyes. It is an obvious chance for the punster ; Palestine To whom is it Is Indeed the Promised Land. promised? That is what Jew, Arab and Christian In Palestine are asking of the British government. The British government replies that under the mandate there will be complete freedom and equality for all religions and equal justice for all. regardless of religion, race or, position. Sir Herberts report to parliament makes interesting reading, some of which must be done between the lines. Concerning the policy follewed under the mandate ha says: The policy of His Majestys British ment contemplates the satisfaction of the legitimate aspirations of the Jewish race throughout the world in relation to Palestine, combined with a full protection of the rights of the existing population. For my own part I am convinced that the means can be found to effect this combination. The Zionism that Is practicable is the Zionism that fulfills this essential condition. It is the clear duty of the mandatory power to g of the Arab population. In promote the the same way as a British administration would regard It as its duty to promote the welfare of the local population In any part of our empire. g of the Arabs The measures to foster the should be precisely those which we should adopt In Palestine if there were no Zionist question, and If there had been no Balfour declaration. There is In this policy nothing incompatible with , reasonable Zionist aspirations. On the contrary, if the growth of Jewish influence were accompanied by Arab degradation, or even by a neglect to promote Arab advancement, It would fail in ona of its essential pur' needs. The motorists were counted in the first traffic census to give complete information ever undertaken by the bureau. The work was done in with state highway departments of Massachusetts and Connecticut, and will be duplicated in the near future elsewhere. It was taken between August 16 and 29, covered 146 day hours and 26 night hours, and resulted in accurate records concerning 30,851 vehicles. For passenger cars this information covers type, make, number of passengers, time, direction, starting point and destination.

It is the policy of the ' administration to continue, where cer possible, to apply the Turkish laws, to which the people are accustomed. Changes are made only when they are indispensable. Efficiency is essential to good government, but there Is a point where 'efficiency may become harassing. The danger of passing that point is foreseen.- The many faiths and sects which find in the Holy Land their origin or their inspiration are free to maintain their teachers and pastors, and to practice their cults, without let or hindrance. In the controversies that occasionally arise between them the policy of the administration has been strictly to maintain the status quo. Nevertheless, native Christians and Moslems are appealing to the British government not to put into effect the Balfour declaration, because, they say, the Zionists wish to evict ani dispossess the Arab population of Palestine. The Balfour declaration, Issued In November, 1917, approves the establishment In Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and states that the British government will use their best endeavors to facilitate this object, while at the same time reserving to all communities their full civil and o religious rights. t . The Zionists assure the native peoples that their fears are groundless. Our policy In regard to the Arabs, as In regard to all our problems. Is clear and straightforward, said Dr. Chaim Weizmann, president, in bis address to the Twelfth Zionist congress, recently held at Carlsbad. He declares, furthermore: We intend to abate no jot of the rights guaranteed us by the Balfour declaration, and recognition of that fact by the Arabs is an essential preliminary to the establishment of satisfactory relations between Jew and Arab. Their temporary refusal to recognize that fact compels us to give thought to the means by which we can best safeguard our YIshub against aggression. Is an elemental duty, but we proclaim most solemnly and unequivocally that we have in our own hearts no thought of aggression, no intention of trespassing on the legitimate rights of our neighbors. We look forward to a future In which Jew and Arab will live side by side in Palestine, and work conjointly for the prosperity of the Nothing will stand in the way of such jyntry. a future, when once our neighbors realize that our rights are as serious a matter to us as their rights are to them. That there are troubles of many kinds is evident from the report. Some of these are referred to thus : The methods of agriculture are, for the most part, primitive; the area of land now cultivated could yield a far greater product. There are In addition large cultivable areas that are left untilled. The summits and slopes of the hills are admirably suited to the growth of the trees, but there are no forests. Some industries have been killed by Turkish laws ; none has been encouraged ; the markets of Palestine and of the neighboring countries are supplied almost wholly from Europe. The seaborne commerce, such as it is, is loaded and discharged in the open roadsteads of Jaffa and Haifa; there are no harbors. - The country is underpopulated because of this lack of development. There are now in the whole of Palestine hardly 700,000 people, a population much less than that of the Province of Galilee alone in the time of Christ. The long delay in the formal settlement of the international status of Palestine has tended to disturb the minds of the people. Even more serious has been the consequence that it has not been -- non-Jewi- possible to issue a government loan. Without a loan, many public works that would be directly oi Indirectly remunerative, cannot be executed. The financial conditions of eastern and centra! Europe and internal difficulties within the Zionist organization in the United States have prevented the Zionist movement from providing as yet any large sums for enterprises of development or colonization although, indeed, several land purchases have been completed and many preparations made for the future. As a consequence, while there has been much pressure to admit Jewish there has been comparatively little expansion in opportunities for employment. The agricultural development of the country, and, indeed, its urban development also, are greatly hampered by the condition of confusion into which the titles of ownership of land were allowed to fall during the Turkish regime.
