Regime In Holy Land.

A report has been received in Lon
don that Pope Benedict XIV has
rejected the plan of certain Catholics
to create regime in Palestine. The

as making easier the realization of
the Zionist project to establish a
Jewish national homeland in Pales-
tine.

Holiness, Pope Benedict XIV has
indicated his sympathy toward
Jewish Palestine On June 9Th,
1917, at the conclusion of an audi
ence which he granted Nahum Soko-
low, Zionist Ambassador-At-Large,
His Holiness expressed his thorough
accord with the Zionist aspirations,
concluding his words with the re-
marks, ave will be good neighbors.

CZECHO-SLOVAKIA AND THE
JEWS.

Mr.. Nahum Sokolow has received
a letter from the Foreign Secretary
of the Czecho-Slovaks explaining
that the recent decision to expel
certain Jews from their country,
which has since been rescinded, was
not inspired by anti-semitism. 1t
was the result of extreme scarcity of
the necessities. of life which caused
the authorities to withdraw the
right Of residence from all who had
not been residents before the War.

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD
SETTLEMENT IN PALESTINE.

The London Zionist Bureau has
received many inquiries from in
dividuals desirous of proceeding to
Palestine with the intention of set
tling there. In one or two instances,
small groups have left their homes
with the intention of travelling to
Palestine and have found themselves
stranded midway in consequence OF
the difficulties of travelling at the
present time.
The Zionist leaders have therefore
asked the Federations to make
known as widely as possible that at
the present time no immigration in
to Palestine is possible and individu-
ais or groups should not leave until
an announcement is made by the
London Bureau of the Zionist Or
ganization that such immigration is
possible.
No responsibility can be taken for
any consequences which may arise
owing to disregard of this warning.

Federal Reserve Board Issues
Warning to The Public

Washington, July 3.--in warning
that still higher prices and greater
shortage Of supplies might be expect
ed in the United States if foreign pur-
chases are permitted to continue on
the same basis as in the last year.
The federal reserve board in its July
bulletin made public today declared
that the war period in expectation had
come to an end and that it now was
the duty Of the investing public to
finance shipments needed by Europe.
There is shortage Of many essen
tial materials and commodities in the
world at large the board said. IN
creased credit demand for goods for
export necessarily implies relatively
decreased supply of goods for
domestic use. Demand and supply
automatically cGuaiize by changes in
price. but such changes in prices are
in the circumstances herein under
consideration necessarily upward. II
a large export financing process is
conducted by banks out of credit, the
result is to place the fluid credit Of
the country at the disposal Of foreign
eTs in purchasing ard settling for do
mestic products which they obtain
from American producers.
Such al addition 10 credits not bas-
ed on genuine savings, the board
pointed out. would mean imitation i'm
plying an increased tendency toward
the bidding up of prices. III order tc
avoid the recurrence of such men
ace, the board recommended that the
basis for exports should be found in
the investment market that is in the
savings Of the people and not at the
banks.
The amount OF export trade secur-
tics to be hello by banks must neces-
sarily be limited to minimum fig
ure," the beard asserted.
Requirements OF export financing
probably have been over estimated.
the board said, adding that some part
Of the export demand likely would
disappear when actually commercial
security was required for the protec
ton CT shipments.
ct is quite probable also the
board remarked that as European
countries succeeded in reeStaalishlnS
Themselves, their recovery toward seii
supporting basis vii! be much more
rapid than has been expected. Far
more is required for the expenditure
of great sums in the purchase OF goods
than is generally comrrenended. E&-
penditurcs to be made for peace pur-
poses or for reconstruction will re-
auire care and patience il they are 20
yield returns under competitive bus
mess conditions. They can not be
overhastiIy made. and this will in IL
self ease the urgency Of the pressure
for export financing. When al these
elements have been eliminated there
vii! remain a very great residue Of
urg mt industrial requirements abroad
and these, it is both economically and
otherwise sound ard desirable to
finance as promptly and effectively as
possible in order that foreign demand
for OUR goods may be maintained, our
markets conserved and Our genera!
trade protected.
