Empire should be moved to interest
itself in project that promises
greater safety for the Suez canal.
This will be best served by pros
porous Palestine, inhabited by PEG
pie attached to English ideals Of dc
mocracy. and the restoration Of the
Jews under British auspices is by far
the most hopeful way TO secure it.
From the Jewish point of view such
a restoration opens the door TO Won
derful possibilities; the hopes that
have never been lost during eighteen
centuries Of the Dispersion will re-
turn within the region of fact and
accomplishment Scarcely less I'M
portant should be the consequences
for Europe. AS the Jewish Chronicle
puts it., the Jews would became "a
nation, and not hyphenation." The
many thoroughly unhealthy aspects
of the latter status would pass away;
instead, the family of nations would
be enriched by the return Of one Of
its oldest and most gifted members
to a regular and normal place
within the circle.

WHEN THE ECHO WAKENS

There is a spirit OF offensive Sc
crecy that obtains down at Washing
ton among few small minds who are
clothed with little brief authority
that is similar to conditions that pre-
vailed In England before the Asquith
ministry was overthrown. II Is await
ing the same jolt that was admins
tered BY Lord Northcliffe, and which
caused the British government TO
change its tactics in the matter Of the
silly censorship and the publication #
news.
Whatever may be the faults OF the
English discourager Of hesitancT,
Lord Northcliffe cannot be charged as
holding to any OF the musty British
traditions. When he began to expose
the folly that was then ruling English
strategy on the battlefield and English
administration at home, there was n
not inconsiderable party that wante1
TO proceed against him under the pro-
visions Of Dora" as the English IA
miiarly call their Defence of the
Realm Act. But as soon us the men
in Flanders were able 10 read the
London Times they began to pass the
word back home that Northcliffc was
right. Maybe we shall 20 through
that same cycle of experience.
Maybe when our men get under
heavy and continuous fire. when the
casualty lists are longer than they
now are. We shall hear from our Sec
tor OF the line a responsive and COM
polling echo to the criticisms now
made of policies which arc as futile
as they are costly.

THE JEWISH NATIONALITY

Some carping critics of the British
endorsement Of the Zionist move
ment reflect on the selfish interest
back Of the British enthusiasm over
the project Of making Palestine
separate state. While it is trne the
British Empire would benefit most
largely, the civilization and humanity
OF the world would also profit by the
restoration of the nationality of the
Jewish race. And while the United
States government. has taken no Of
fetal action in the matter, are we
not logically committed TO the Jewish
cause through the arowal of PreSi-
dent Wilson, that one of the motives
for Americas entrance into the var
was TO secure for small nationalities
the right to live their own lives on
their own soil and 10 develop their
own culture under free national
auspices" If that is inclusive Of any
thing It certainly embraces a national
home for the Jewish people, and that
Palestine Is their natural heritage.
1t Is quite natural that the British

diction. We were proceeding upon
the TauSsig theory that We lose moth.
ing by importing an article if VIC can
import it FOR less than we can make
it at home. We were diminishing our
supply of money, and providing less
work for our own people and more
work for the people. of other lands.
Such was the steady trend of events
up TO the time when the war in Eu-
rope served the purpose of an almost
prohlbitory protective tariff, cutting
off imports and providing US the
greatest export market ever known in
the history OF the world. From that
time on We enjoyed war-order pros
perity. But the record for ten months
of world peace under the tariff act OF
1913 proved the fallacy Of the Taus-
sig prophecy that "the new tariff
would cause no disaster" A life
time Of tariff study had awaited the
tariff prophet nothing in prophetic
ability. Nevertheless, when President
Wilson changed his mind on the Ques-
zion of tariff commission, and Sc
cured authority to appoint such a
body, he chose as chairman Of the
Commission none other than the same
Taussig whose latest word on the
subject had been so openly discred
tied.
Where does the hope CT the future
lie? Why, in the election OF Presl
dent and Congress representing the
great American protective principles.
