Persia should also be treated sep

OF India are supported, by residents

would be the Bagdad Railway, with a
branch through Palestine, and on to
Egypt. The crossing of the Suez

that these territories would be i'm

For, after all, Judaism is already
a spiritual rather than an intellec-
tual kingdom. Zionists are consid-
cring whether they might, perhaps,
rebuild temple of the mind, in the
form Of a university, where life and
history and ethics and science should
be studied, with Hebraic revelation
as sublime background. AS Jews
and proselytes visited Jerusalem for
the Passover and other feasts, bring
ing with them their gifts Of mate
rial wealth and moral experience, so
will students to-day pay tribute and
win rewards by spending time on the
slopes Of Mount Moriah, where the
language of Moses, with modern ad-
ditions, will again be heard. With
vast financial, political and intellec-
tual reserves at their disposal, there
is no reason why the Jews should
not achieve this noble conception of
their inevitable heritage.
The immediate difficulty lies with
the Turks themselves. Their power
is weakened, but it has still to be
broken. Judged by what will make
for contentment, the individual Turk
and his family have everything to
gain from acceptance of this inter-
national guardianship. Germany
will resist it, Of course, but am as
