Egse Jews and Palestine.

Palestine. says the London Spectator"
is at present, as Matthew Arnold has
said, d land s'of sun and arid stone," but
there is no reason to doubt that culture
and irrigation would restore its fertility,
and that it might once again overflow
We're secured whereby the work of re-
cla1nation could be begun on a large scale.
The German colonies there have done
well. and there~are few parts OF. the land
that would not yield wealth. 1t has been
objected that the modern Jew is rarely q
farmer, that he prefers to work with his
brains, to turn money over, to engage in
speculative occupations, rather than to
work With his hands. The fact is true in
the main. but it is capable of explanation
through historic causes. 1t is almost GER
tain that we owe agriculture to the
S~craites, and it is certain that the Jews
were in ancient times an agricultural
people. Their exclusion from so many
arts in Western Europe, their confinement
for centuries to q few callings and to mar
row areas, will sufficiently account foe
mercenary instincts, It would be a dis
tinct gain to them, morally and socially,
could a goodly proportion Of their race be
induced to resume, under happy condi-
tions, those healthy and primary arts of
life IN which they are engaged before the
overflow of their ancient commonwealth.
One more land reclaimed from Turkish
for the$Jews and for the entire world. 1t
is certain that the Turk will do nothing
with Palestine; 1t seems equally certain
that European riyalTies will prevent any
one European country from colonizlngi it:
why may not the true solution be found
IN Jewish colonization? The idea is at
tractives and it seems feasible,
