FARMING COOPERATION
IN PALESTINE OUTLINED
DR.. Franz oppenheimer, Originator
Of Plan, Says There Is Hope
for It's Success.

NEW YORK, March 17.-Dr. Franz OPP
penheimer. lecturer on political economy
at the University of Berlin, told a mass
meeting in Cooper Union last night about
agricultural cooperation in Palestine.
when Theodor Herzl asked me to help
him in the work of colonization Of the
Jews in Palestine DR.. Oppenheimer
said, Il submitted to the congress of 1908
a plan of colonization upon co-cpera-
tive basis. Herzl died and it was nearly
ten years later when the plan was ready
for adoption because the leaders of the
movement had no faith in it at first.
But development in Palestine COM
PEELED them to accept my plan as the only
possible one for colonization of workmen
without capital.
"The colony which I have founded In
Palestine is of the pure cooperative
kind. 1t is situated in the celebrated
plain of Yezreel, Immediately below
Nazareth, with an area of about LOCO
acres. There are fifty workmen in the
colony now. and We have right to say
that there is hope for its future success.
The results thus far have been better
than the results obtained anywhere in
Palestine. Within two years it is hoped
that the enterprise will not only cover
the money expended, but will show de-
cent profit

uralist on the historic voyage OF the

HANDS OFF IN OIL FIGHT.
State Department Declines to Inter
fere in German Situation.

Several communications have come to
the State Department from Texas and
California oil producers in regard to the
proposed action Of the German govern
ment In establishing an Oil monopoly and
In eliminating the Standard Oil Company
from the German business. Secretary
Bryan has referred all these to the bu-
reau Of trade relations without comment.
He has let it be known that SO far he
has seen no cause to interfere in what
he regards as a struggle between con-
flicting business interests for the pos
session Of the German market. The
Secretary of State expressed himself as
follows:
This government will not assume that
the German government intends to do in
jury to American property or interests
there or to discriminate against Ameri-
cans In the purchase of oil. unless the
language of the measure would. under
reasonable construction. imply injustice.
" the law is passed and under Its opera
ton any injury is done or threatened We
viii make such representations as the
situation requires.

WILL URGE NEW BRIDGE.
Mr.. Carlin Would Replace Aqueduct
Structure With Safer One.

Representative Carlin said today he
would urge the committee on interstate
and foreign commerce of the House to
make a favorable report on his bill pro-
viding for a new bridge across the Po-
tomac to take the place of the present
Aqueduct bridge, which has been decar-
ed out of date by engineer officials Of
the government. The bill asks that
81, 100000 be appropriated for a new
bridge.
Mr.. Carlin believes that the ice gorge
which threatened the safety of the
structure was an object lesson to Con-
gress to replace the bridge with a safer
one.

Urged by Commissioners.

While / was District Commissioner"
said Mr.. Macfarland, from 1900 to 1910,
we recommended all the items in your So
cial program which had then been sug-
gested. and that covers more than two
thirds of them. The rest are chiefly
amendments to laws which were then Sc
cured. like the Juvenile Court and proba-
tion system, child labor law and play
ground legislation. We were asked by
Congress then to wait while they paid off
too rapidly the floating debt incurred for
the extraordinary improvements Of the
decade. There was enough money for
both the physical and moral progress
recommended if the debt had not been
paid SO rapidly.
Now that 1t has been paid. the physical
and moral progress of the capital is
threatened by seven measures. four of
which have passed the House destroying
the 'half-and-half' arrangement and put
ting the whole burden of the capital on
the few people who live here This is
contrary to the purpose of the founders
and to the wishes of the patriotic people
of the country. none of whom has ever
protested to Congress against the present
arrangement and all OF whom are proud
of whatever progress has been made un-
der it.

In Need Of Enlightenment.

1T is lack of knowledge of the facts
which is chiefly responsible for this dan
gerous legislation. II. while we were ask
ing for a social program year ago, we
had also told the new senator's and rep
resentatives the reasons for the 'half-and-
half arrangement, the National Capital
would not now be in peril. AS it is the
House in the District appropriation bill
provided none of the items recommended
by you and by the District Commission
ers. The Senate committee has provided
for four of them.
IF you want these four retained and
II you want other similar items in the
future, work not for them alone, but for
the maintenance of the system which
makes them all possible. We can trust
the wisdom and justice Of Congress when
Congress is informed of the facts Our
duty is to exercise the right of petition
by laying the facts before them indi-
vidually.
This should be done systematically
year after year: otherwise the things
which all patriotic Americans desire to
make their National Capital as nearly
perfect as possible will be lost in the de-
struction of the financial arrangement
provided by the organic act"

For "Loan Shark Amendment.


The club also went on record as favor
ing prompt and favorable action by Con-
gress on the bill recommended by the
District Commissioners to amend the
loan shark" law so as to increase the
rate of interest that may be charged on
loans from / to 11e per cent a month
This matter was presented in a resolu-
ton introduced by Rev. John Van
Schaick, jr.. which was unanimously ap-
proved.
Former Commissioner Macfarland's talk
and an address by DR.. Maxim:lian P. E.
Groszmann, educational director of the
National Association for the Study and
Education of Exceptional Children, were
the principal features of the meeting,
which was held at the Public Library.
season.
That abolition of the half-antl-half
plan would halt rapid social or moral
progress in Washington was the declara-
ton of Mr.. Macfarland. OF the twenty
four items in the social program for the
District adopted by the club about a
year ago almost every one depends upon
an appropriation by Congress, the speak
er pointed out. The club. therefore, he
urged, is vitally interested in the efforts
being made to protect the progress of
the National Capital by preventing legis-
lation intended to destroy the half-and-
half arrangement. under which all that
progress has been made in the last thirty
five years.

Faults of School System.

DR.. Groszmann's address dealt largely
with defects in the present school sys-

good thing If the whole school system
could be suspended for a year in order
thyt educators may have a chance to
break away from traditions and be in a
position to shape an educational system
that conforms to existing conditions,
He advocated compulsory educational
laws and better methods Of testing chill
dren to learn whether they are excep-
tional. Observation clinics should be es-
tablished in schools and provision should
be made for thorough medical inspection
combined with the most approved SANTA
ton. he urged.
Dr. Groszmann suggested a nationwide
investigation of conditions and causes In

which will make possible the WORKING
out of a practical system for the han

a protest from Louis Gutenberg. who said
that the committee Of 100 represents The
financial interests of Washington, where
as the Monday Evening Club devotes its
energies to looking after the interests Of

Der of the committee of 100 had been en-
deavoring to have declared unconstitu-
tional the loan shark law. which was
enacted largely through the efforts of the
Monday Evening Club.
Walter S. Ufford took up the discussion
at this point by introducing a resolution
commencing the social service items re-
ferred to by Mr.. Macfarland. They are
the provisions for the erection of a mu-
nicipal hospital and the employment of
hve school nurses. two additional assist
ant probation officers for the Juvenile
Court and two additional investigating
officers for the board of children's guard
