THE VIEWS OF A NON-JEWESS
ON PALESTINE.
1112 Ogden St, Denver, Colo.
Dec. &c, 1919.

Dec. 26, 1919.
Dear Mrs. Friedenthal:
Permit me to call your attention to
weeks issue of the Denver Jewish
News.
This article is taken from ''the SEN
tinel" and the writer claims that to
nance the establishment of a Jewish
state in Palestine would be Immoral"
and that it is indecent to ask
Americans to do it.
ehivalrous spirit of the author of this
article in seeking to lay no burden for
the benefit of the restoration of the
Jews to their own land alpon the Gen
Americans, the author has not caught
The full spirit of what the British.
the Americans, and other nations,
have desired to do for the Jews.
Indeed, the progress of the Jewish
state is greatly hindered by the fact
that the Jews are not returning to
the land in sufficient numbers to war
rant the taking up by the British gov
1rnment, fof more comprehensive
plan for their establishment in the
land. according to the present reports.
On the other hand, multitudes of
Jews are suffering in an extreme meas
II f., md
from prosecutions of lesser degree in
Siberia and in many sections of south
eastern Europe. The relief commit
tees, altho distributing millions of
dollars among them are unable to pro-
vide more than temporarily for their
Leeds in their present home. Appar-
emily, the industries by which they
should live have been largely destroy
ed Yet the need is so great that
thousands of them are perishing.
The plans for the rehabilitation of
Palestine seem to be well advanced.
or if they are not in such condition
as to permit the return Of great num-
Ders of Jews at present, the same ex-
ccutive ability which has marked the
leadership of individual Jews in the
!. various avenues of war and peace,
could be easily applied to the solution
of those difficulties that hinder the
rcpopulating of the land by needy Jew
sh people.
There appears to he no serious OPP
position to the return OF the Jews to
Palestine at this time. The sane funds
which are being used for the susten-
ance of those who are the beneficiaries
of the Relief COMMITTEES, could be
used in a more constructive fashion
perhaps, If there We're added to these
monies ingathelings from II drive
| for the purpose of restoring the peo-
pie to their land and giving them oc
cupation after arriving there.
The speedy building up of the
American war forces was surprise
even to America. and was of the most
marked Importance in the conduct and
conclusion of the war. Some construc-
tive policy along the line of the Zion
list movement might accomplish much
in the rescue of the perishing Jews
Of Europe and other needy sections.
Then, too, this plan is in perfect
harmony with the prophecies of the
Jewish scriptures. See Isaiah 66 20
Isaiah 40 ID and %: Micah 7:1I-I7:
Isaiah IL HIP; Isaiah 4:1-3: Isaiah
1877; Isaiah 43: g.
These passages indicate that the ma
tions of the world will perform a most
active service in the restoration of the
Jews, as indeed they have already
done in the arranging for Jewish
state by the allies.
Yours sincerely,

CORN MARKET STANDS
ABOUT AS LAST WEEK

CHICAGO, November 22.-To a much
greater extent than usual. corn prices
this week have reflected disturbances
in financial and industrial conditions.
The net result. however. has been to
land the corn market at almost the
sam. place as week ago. Net
changes for the week were: Corn Z
decline to IL advance. oats a shade
to Y down. and provisions varying
from $50 lower to a rise of 80.
Aside from the violent effect Of sue
cessive tumbles and recoveries in for
eign exchange and in general secur-
tiles, the main influence on the corn
market was the rapidly growing
shortage of coal. At first the dwin-
ding Of coal supplies tended to lift
the price of corn. inasmuch as fears
were expressed that the crop move
mont would be delayed. Later
though. knowledge that lack OF fuel
had resulted in shutting down manu-
featuring establishments which were
large consumers of corn tended plain.
ly to weigh down values in the corn
market.
For the most part. oats merely par.
alleled the changes in the corn mar
ket.

RIVAL RAIL BILLS
RECONSIDERATION
Vice President of National
City Company Reviews Cum
Minis and Esch Measures.

z. V. Davis, vice president Of the
National City Company. discussed the
position Of the railroads in the in
uestment markets at the annual meet
ing Of the Academy of Political Sci
ence. Mr.. Davis instanced recent cases
in which industrial securities had been
quickly absorbed by investors. while
bonds or notes Of strong railroad cor
porationa had dragged and declined
below tina issue price. Preference on
the part OF investors for securities
Of industries not subject to public reg
uiation. he declared. was one Of the
most pronounced characteristics of the
present market.
Mr.. Davis refuted the assertion that
railroad credit had been injured by
the statements OF railroad officers be-
fore the commerce commission in rate
cases, saying that a railroads per-
fornances outweiRhed statements Of
its officers and that there was nothing
road credit. which reflected the in
sufficiency of net revenues. That it
had not been improved by the assur-
ance of income under federal control
equal to the average Of three years.
of which two had been prosperous
years. he attributed to the distrust
created by the low level Of earnings
before that period and the fact that
81 900 miles Of railroad were not to-
day earning their fixed charges.

New Capital Greatly Needed.

Demand for new capital, the speak
er thought. would exceed the supply
throughout the world for some years
to come. II the railroads were to
command the capital which is required
more in the interest Of the public than
of the owners Of railroad securities.
they would have to be treated not
only Justly but generously. Not less
than = per cent return on the in
veetmeAt would suffice, and that
would mean only shout $1eO.090,Ooo
more net revenue than the average
of the three test years, whereas
twelve times that amount had been
added to the pay of employees sance
the EoverRment assumed coRtrol.
Mr.. Davis vas Of the opinion that
the CxmmiHs bin. which allows re-
turn Of 5h per cent should be amend. .
ed to make the rate per cent anu
that until the completion OF the red
eral valuations the return should De

accounts As to the division OF e4-

had been built up to the maximum
allowed of S per cent upon the prop
