WILL ASK FOR BIG
SUM FOR PALESTINE

New York, Dec. 23.-Ten million
dollars is the minimum which the
Zionist organization of America will
endeavor to raise in this country be-
ginning January IS, by an appeal TO
Jews and non-Jews alike for the pur-
chase of large tracts of and in Pales-
tine and the preparation Of the coun-
try in every way for the masses of
Jews who, according to authoritative
reports, are eager to miGrate thither
from Russia, Poland, Galicia, Rou-
mania and other pogron-ridden coun-
tries of eastern Europe. The a
desire on the part of the Jews to
escape to Palestine from lands of
persecution everywhere, before that
country is prepared to receive them,
restraining the impending immigra-
ton a most difficult problem for the
Zionist organization.
In q statement issued yesterday,
the executive committee of the Zionist
organization Of America announced
that it has every reason for confidence
that Great Britain will assume the
mandate yer Palestine for the spe-
ciic purpose of establishing there a
national homeland for the Jewish
people. This purpose was announced
by Great Britain on November 2, 1917,
in what is known as the "Balfour dec
laration" and was reiterated or No
vember 2 Of this year by Lord Curzon,
the present British foreign secretary,
who stated that the policy of Great
Britain toward Palestine as an
nouncod two years 6 by the Rt.
Hon. Arthur j. Balfour remains un-
changed. The Zionist organization Of
America feels. in view of Lord Cur
IONS statement, and the fact hat the
treaty with Turkey is to be taken up
by the Allies at an early date. that
the time has arrived for beginning a
struction in Palestine. This program
includes not only the requirement of
large tracts Of land, but also water
conservation and the development of
water power; sanitation and drainage
In cities and towns; irrigation, at
f~orestation, survey and development
of natural and the estab-
lishment of technical laboratories for
agricultural purposes. 81,
Large sums will also be needed for
the maintenance and development
of work already launched in Palestine
by the Zionists. These include a
school system ranging from kinder
gartens to a university, loans to agri-
cultural and industrial organizations
and groups, rehabilitation of Jewish
colonies devastated during the war,
maintenance of the American Zionist
medical unit. its three hospitals and
two nurses training schools, an anti
malaria campaign, and improvement
in the housing conditions of Jerusa-
lem, Jafa and other cities. Other
items to be met by this fund include
the car Of Jewish legionaires and
their dependents; supplies for hos
and a Palestine information bureau,
as we'll as the maintenance and i'd
m~iristratior OF the Zionist qrganiza-
ton through which these enormous
tasks are to be carried out.
All Of the U of the Zionist
districts in the United States will be
utilized for the purposes of this cam
paign, which will be conducted by a
national committee headed by Judge
Julian W. Mack.

really is good, and along that line.
rather than by the bounding of profit
lies the best chance Of escape
from our grievous Ills. OF course ev-
erybody is against the pr%ofiteers, and
doesn't mind how much they are
bounded, but, after all, there is al
ways some difficulty in drawing a
sharp line between reasonable and un-
profits, and the %profiteer
can usually offer a plausible excuse
for his charges. His teeth are pulled
and his claws are clipped however,
more effectively than the law can do
it. by refraining from the purchase of
his wares, and treatment of. that sort
need not be long continued to make
him mark down the prices hat really
arc exorbitant. His deadliest enemy
is economy. Those most reluctant to
practice it are usually prof1teers

each other, who cares?-N. Y. Times.

which will largely increase the de-
BRFE1sH, EXCHANGE.

During the war British exchange
was kept up near par in New York.
and Canadian currently stood about
on a par with American in our mar
kets. Since the armistice, and espec-
tally during the past few months. the
pound sterling, morally worth about
$4.S5, has dropped to sabout $3.50,
and the discount on Canadian dollars
in border cities has advanced from 5
to IL per cent. The situation has puz-
zled a good many people, and many
explanations, most of which are in
substantial agreement, have been adj
vanced. The Winnipeg Telegram, in
a recent issue. summarizes the situa-
ton very clearly in part as. follows:
On accoun Of the adverse bal
ance OF trade Great Britain, dur
Ing h a for the benefit Of
her allies as we'll as herself.
"pegged' sterling exchange at
SAG through an arrangement
with ]. F. Morgan & CO.. where
by all sterling securities offered
in New York were taken up at
that price. The market was thus .
supported, intellectually keeping
UP dollar exchange between Can
ada and the United States in luz
ratio to Britain's commitments to
Canada-allowing. of course, o
the balance Of trade between the
I-p}l1L C<ox>, >,l ~nn.l
The reason Britain kept ster-
hing exchange 'pcgged' at $4.76
was that Britain desired to buy
vast quantities of goods from the
United States for war and other
purposes. That need having
largely disappeared with the
ending OF the war, Great Britain
simply pulled out the peg. She
pulled out the peg not only be-
cause she did not need to buy as
much as she did before. but be-
cause she wanted TO discourage
imports from the United States,
in order. to correct the adverse
balance of trade between herself
and the United States. The re-
sn1t was that the bottom dropped
out Of sterling exchange. with a
consequent and entirely local re-
action against Canadian ex-
change.
The situation is simply that while
Great Britain vas in urgent need of
vast quantities Of commodities from
abroad, her government used artifi-
clal means to keep her money near
par in order that 1t might not take
too much money to pay for her goods.
Now that the emergency has passed,
she removes the artificial stimulus.
and permits the ordinary considera-
tons to operate in order hat as large
q share as possible of her accumulat-
ed indebtedness may be paid to this
country in goods instead of cash.

joice-this is an easier task than some

people imagine. So many are s.
foolish as to think that because they
cannot give beautifully that it is not
worth while to give at all. They for
get that what seems very little to a
person in comfortable circumstances
may appear very large to those who
nave virtually nothing at all: while
among friends a small gift, bearing
some sign of thoughtfulness, is often
more acceptable than a costly but ILL
chosen present. This is an excellent
time to go owe the children's toys and
select those which can be spared to go
to some less fortunate little ones. Do
not select only those which. are toe

course. are not to be dispised, but a
little glue and a few stitches to fresh

much to the pleasure Of a second
hand gift-for all children love fresh
looking things and it is, besides,
scarcely generous to give away only
such articles as would otherwise be
thrown in the ashes.

STEADILY LOSING MONEY.

That the railways incurred a deficit
in every month except two in the
yea ending with October 81, 1919.
is shown in an editorial published
by the Railway Age in its current is
sue. The net operating income earned
IN these twelve months Is shown to
have been $~337,s72,000 less than the
average net operating income earned
by the railways under private opera
ton during the est period. which was
The three years ending on June 80,
1917. 1t is pointed out that includ-
ing interest on the investment which
has been made in the railways under
government control the deficit in
cured in the year ending with Octo-
Der. 1919. was about $375, 900, 900.
Statements being issued by the
railroad administration are adapted to
give the impression that before the
coal strike came the railways had
ceased to incur a deficit" says the
Railway Age. 1T has been indicated
in these statements that In the months
Of July. August, September aud Oc-
tober the traffic of the railways had
approached normal; that d%ring these
months they more than earned the
government guarantees to them; and
that the very large deficit incurred
in the earlier part of the year was due
to the comparatively small amount Of
tramc during that part OF the year.
These statements of the railroad
administration. while doubtless not in
tended to be misleading. are adapted
to give tho public a false impression
regarding the existing railroad situa-
ton. The way in which the railroad
administration arrives at its conclu-
sion that the railways have ceased
to incur q deficit iis very simple. The
government guarantees amount to an
average of about $4,000, 600 a month.
Therefore, when the roads earn more
than this amount of net operating in
come in a month the railroad admins
tration announces that they have
earned . surplus. But tho railroads
always have earned more net operat-
ing income In the last six months than
in the first SIX months Of each year.
The government guarantees are based
on the average amount earned under
private operation during the three
years ended on June 30, 1917; ard

WATCH YOUR SPUDS
FOR POTATO WART

Keep a sharp lookout for potato
wart this season and report all suspic-
ious cases and send specimens immedi-
ately to your county agents, your
State experiment station, or the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture, and thus aid in controlling this
menace. If this dangerous new dis
ease gets established ii will put stop
to potato growing in the infested area
and lead to a quarantine of the local
ity. At present potato wart has ap-
peared only in few gardens in min
ing sections Of Pennsylvania, which
are now under strict quarantine. 1t
reached there in a shipment Of Europ-
can potatoes in 1911 or earlier. Thir-
teen million bushels came in that year
and some of them may have been in
fected; consequently every potato
grower is urged to watch his spuds,
particularly at digging time, for signs
of small. warty growth, particularly
a, the eyes. These growths may in
crease until ultimately the entire
tuber becomes spongy, warty mass.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has published circular
which describes the wart disease.
