Conference has been finally filed
with the Secretariat of the Peace Coz

lish languages. 1t is rather brief and
sets forth in part l proposed draft
Of articles to be Incorporated in the
various treaties and in Part ii a short
argument of reasons for the proposals.
OF course the submission of tt,.
same, in the manner and in the form
done, by no means implies that we
will get everything we have asked.
While every small power seems to be
agreeable to the proposition of emanci-
pating their Jews-and some even t.
give guarantees to that effect-almOst

tional and minority rights. At the
time the Austrian treaty was being
considered the small nationalities led
by BratianO the ROumaniap premier.

proposition. President Wilson and
Clemenceau made speeches for the
proposition, but. the question is by no
means settled. As all these matters

THE HEcIRA BEGINS.


Several groups of immigrants haze
recently arrived at Palestine endurin;
many hardships in their wanderinsF
over Europe. Arriving in Palestine,
these groups which consisted mainly
OF young men. handed over to the
Hapoel Hazoir the Jewish flag which
they had carried along during their
tramp across Europe, and spokesman
delivered an address in which he said
Labor Is our life" This flag which
escorted us during our wanderinss
which lasted about six months, this
flag around which we rallied in the
name of work and the revival of Ee-
brew culture in Palestine, we now give
over to the Hapole Hazoir, the firsi
to raise the flag of labor in Palestine,
us we are about to cultivate its soil.

THE CUNARD LINE INAUGURATES
DIRECT STEAMSHIP SERVICE
BETWEEN AMERICA AND PAL
ESTINE.

The Cunard Line announces thru the
American Jewish News regular ser
vice Of two steamships between Amer
lea and the IIevant with special stops
ut Alexandria and Jaffa.
While the uncertain conditions of
commerce continue, calls will be made
ut Palestine only ON occasion when
two thousand tons Of freight are sl,ir
ped. The ship wiil make Alexandria
u portof call, providing it carries one
th0ussnd tons.
This great sfeamsA1p COMPANY, ore
nf the largest kM the world, has bssu
tfonpt to realize the vast commercial
possibilities that lie In the develop
iuent Of Palestine. Moreover, Its In
xugursfion Of regular and direct
steamship service will do much Il.
stimulate an exchange OF commodities
between the two countries.
There are countless manufactured
commodities that Palestine Is in urs-
cnt need of and that America can sup
ply. Cotton goods, agricultural msr
chinery, gasOline engines and musical
Instruments will find ready market
as soon as the wave of settlement b.
gins to augment.
The very life of Palestine is impor.
md export. Paiestinian fruits AMI
wines are famous all over the world.
In exchange for these goods there
must be imported the manufactures
that the colonists need and US yet
have no facilities to produce.
1t is hard, therefore. to measure the
Significance of this new steamship
line. Its inaugprators are men OF
large affairs and sure Judgments That
they have definitely announced s;i'.
rev service before peace is officially
proclaimed is tribute to their enter
Prise, and also an indication Df whes
business men expect to come, out Of
Palestine under British rule.
The Cunard Line states that it VII

on most liberal terms in building Gr
the commerce of the new country.

ing the Jewish guarantees. As is
Known, this treaty will not come into
effect In spite of the fact that Pada-
rcwski signed it, If the Polish Tarlia
Inent should refuse to ratify it. In
view of the latest dispatches from
Poland concerning the fury caused

guarantees, there are good reasons to
believe that il the Treaty is finally
ratified it Will not he until after a Wig

DIR. Dillon, the well known conse:-
vative journalist stated yesterday that
neither Poland nor Roumania will
carry out the guarantees for minority
