Inquiry by Commission.

A"AAAAy Ny SOAAA4A6S'AoAAe
Not many weeks later, despite these
positive Indications Of Jewish
state in Palestine SO evident at the
peace conference. came the announce
ment that Palestine would be tnclud-
ed in the Investigations of the inter-
allied commission to be sent to look
into the claims of the near east. If
the peace conference was SO unite on
the subject of a Jewish state in
Palestine, why the beiated investiga-
ton of the Holy Land? Why an in
vestigation at all, if the Balfour dec9a-
ration could be interpreted in Europe
as an interaIlied Endorsement of a
Jewish nation in Palestine?
A month ago Palestine at close
range looked like a political puzzle,
destined to tax the skill of the great
est diplomatists. British officials who
had advocated a local round table dis
cussion among representatives Of all
three faiths in the Holy Land had
withdrawn this suggestion They
were busy averting bIoodshed. post
ing machine guns on the peaceful
Judean hills, putting troops through
emergency manuevers, flying airplanes
over the Bedouin borders of the Jor-
dan. What they wanted most Of all
was a rest for Palestine, a relief from
the limelight.
All indications seemed to point to
protected colonization as the present
maximum Jewish hope in Palestine, a
hope to be realized only after the
Arabs had been appeased.
The recognition Of the Jewish claim
to Palestine as future Jewish state
seemed to be the crux of the final
settlement of the political fate Of the
Holy Land.
This was the view of the one mill
tary man in Palestine who should
know, and also Of the one Zionist who
is in intimate touch not only with con-
ditiops In, the HOLY Land but I'm the
councils Of Europe.
