JUDGE BRANDEIS ON
FUTURE OF HOLY. LAND.
Convinced of Its Practical Possible
tics as Jewish Homeland.

London, Aug. s.--"I am thoroughly
convinced and enthusiastic about the
practicable possibilities OF developing
Palestine into the long promised
Jewish homeland" said Justice Louis
Brandeis in an exclusive interview
with Universal Service today, upon his
return from an extended visit TO the
United States after attending the
meeting Of Zionists here at which
some Of the most important Jews of
England and America are discussing
ways and means OF fulfilling the age
old dream Of Jews the world over.
AS ] stood upon Mount Carmel,
looking out over the blue Mediter-
ranean, 1t came home to me that this
land Of Palestine is mans land
said Justice Brandeis
NO people could live here without
setting up ideals and being moved
by moral fervor. We can trust our
people to grow up here and resume
an ideal life"
The American supreme court JUS
tice and his associates made a record
survey Of Palestine. They were in
the country exactly seventeen days
and returned convinced of the entire
practicability OF the exploitation of
the Holy Land by the Jews
Mr.. Brandeis will make a speech in
Chicago at session of American
Zionists outlining in detail the pro-
posed practical re-settlng OF the
ancient land
The session being held here may
result in deciding upon the form Of
government the Zionist will adopt and
a concrete program is expected to be
laid down for Palestine's immediate
exploitation World important oues-
uons are to be discussed at the SEES
sion.
After brief statement. Justice
Brandeis referred the correspondent
TO Jacob De Haas, executive secre-
tary of the American zionists. whose
words, ne said, would be authorize =
tive as his own. Mr.. De Haas. who
accom- panied the Justice on his voyage
enthusiastically praised the possibili-
ties If Palestine.
There are 100000 900 Jews in the
world, said he, Our homeland Of
| Palestine will eventually have a
population OF 100000 AT the pres
ent time there are only rs 600 Jews
there.
we want American Jews to go to
Falestlne. We do not want to take
business men away from their bust
ness but we need idealistic men who
can AFFORD to settle in the Holy Land.
To the Jews or Poland. Russia
and Eastern Europe. Palestine means
the realization Of their dreams They
want to live there
throughout the length and
breadth Of Palestine. Justice Bran
dies was the recipient Of numerous
honors and the highest tribute was
paid 10 the Immense and wonderful
support given to settlement of
Palestine by the Jews of New York
and OF America In general
The tributes came not only from,
lie Jews. but from the Arabs. syrisns
and Cfrcassians who are equally bene-
