LEST WE FORGET.

Republicans who.are demanding
the text of the peace treaty before
it's makers have -made.it ready for
submission to the ratifying author
tiles are reminded of these words
of Republican wisdom:
."We have no possible right to
break suddenly into the middle of
a negotiation and demand from
the President what instructions he
has given to his representative.
That part of treaty-making is no
concern of ours"
The quotation is from Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge, Republican
leader in the Senate. He was
speaking in the Senate onJ anuary
"a, 1906, while that body was con.
sidering a resolution calling upon
President Roosevelt for informa-
tion as to foreign negotiations then
under way.-New York Herald.

belonging to the Sultan of Turkey,
as we'll as extensive estates held by
absentee landlords. The latter in
clude more than fifty per cent of
the best agricultural land in Pales-
tine, in Galilea.' With freedom
from Turkish rule, with Great Bri-
tain as trustee, all this land will
increase enormously in value, for
the. influx of Jews from all over the
world will create demand for the
land Who shall get that added
land value? Not the present hold
ers. They have done nothing to
create it. They, as rule, didn't
help General Allenby defeat the
Turks and Germans. There's moth
ing to them, except that they are
there to take whatever of increased
land value more population will
bring-if the law be not changed.
But the law will be changed
Why should those landholders get
that "graft?" Great Britain's army,
her government, the coming Zion
lists make the new land value
Those 1andho1ders have always
thrust back Jewish colonization.
With every newcoming colony,
the price of land went up, thus
shutting out other colonies. Land
spectators are busy. Those from
Egypt see land boom in Palestine
as result of British rule and Jew
ish immigration. They are on hand
to make the immigrant Jews pay
high land prices out of their labor.

and Mr.. Rosenblatt, ''to protect the
population of Palestine, present and

civilian Marion Reedy, the dis
tinguished American publicist has
a brilliant article on "Single Tax
in Zion" in "The ST. Louis Mirror"
for June 5th, which is based on
description of "The Palestine Land
Program" proposed by Mrs. Mary
Fels and Bernard Rosenblatt.-
Editor).
The Zionist organization that is
to take over Palestine and re-es-
tab1ish there the Jewish nation,
ending the great dispersal formu-
lates it's purpose in declaration
that ''by proper measures of taxa
ton or otherwise, every increase in
the value of land over that of
August 1, 1914, whether now ac-
crued or hereafter accruing, except
ing such as is due to improvements
made thereon by individuals, shall
be appropriated for the benefit OF
the state and for the people of Pal
estine as whole" Many Jews do
not like this policy, but they will
accept it in order to live in the an
cient homeland.
Palestine is a small country of
not more than twenty thousand
SQUARE miles, even assuming the
historic boundaries with a terri
tory of about two hundred miles
from north to south, and one hun
dred from the Mediterranean Sea
to the Syrian Desert). Exclusive
of sand dunes and waste lands, a
considerable portion Of which can
be made fertile by irrigation, there
are occupied crown lands, formerly

future, against the enormous toll
that would be imposed by land
spectators. The only way to keep
land prices down to the pre-war
values, and thus make land cheap
and accessible to Jewish settlers, is
to accept and put into practice the
principle that all increased values
should go, not to land spectators,
but into the public treasury" And
again: "'The conservative, how
ever loath heretofore to collect the
annual rental value created by the
community, begins to realize that
this is the only effective way in
which it is possible to create cheap
land for the purpose of facilitating
Jewish colonization" ;" The pro-
gram is to eliminate the reserved
land values as they were on August
l, 1914. This will be done grad
ually. Land values accruing since
that date will go to those who made
them-not the landholders, but the
British government and the Zionist
government.
Mrs. Fels has given much in aid
of the Zionist movement, to this
end Of naturalization of land
values. Her husband, Joseph Fels,
devoted his life and fortune, in his
later years, to efforts to bring into
operation in some state the single
tax. Mrs. Fels continues his work.
She is on the verge Of accomplish
ing, for the first time in modern
history, reform that is absolutely
necessary to the Inauguration of
economic justice. The taxation of
land values created by the COM
munity, into the community treas
ury, academically demonstrated
long since, will now be demon
strated in actual practice. There
will be no land speculation in Pal
estine. There will be land for all
who may come there. The only IL
tie will be that of use. And it is

My Dearest Wife: Will take the
greatest of pleasure this rainy day to
drop you a few lines to let you hear
from me. Also In answer to yours re-
ceived yesterday. More than glad to
hear from the little girl and to know
that you are in good health. This
leaves me doing fine at this date. 1t
did look at one time that l would
never get letter from you all again,
for I left the company at the front
on the morning of the 7th Of October
for hospital and just got back to the
company November '25th, and, gee, 1
was glad to- get back with the boys.
The whole time I was away I didn't
hear from any of you all, but when
got back to the company l had lotssof
mail, and / sure did enjoy them, the
tne from you, anyway. Say, we have
quit fighting over here now and don't
think it will be long before the boys
who are left have the pleasure of be-
ing home with the loved ones. The
fastest boat that ever sailed will be
too slow for me going home, you bet,
The Germans tried so hard to get me,
but by luck and God being with me I
am glad to say that am still here not
hurt at all, although they got me
with his mustard gas, but as the old
snake in the spring time I peeled off
my old skin and got new one ready
to go any time for the Huns again.
