Temperance Leader Re.
plies to Colby's Refusal
To Stop Passports.

The State Departments refusal
to cease the issuance of passports
to Americans TO cross the Mexican
line into Tia Juana brought a bitter
retort yesterday from the Metho-
dist Board of Temperance, which
first called the matter to the atten-
tion OF Secretly Colby.
mo doubt the Department OF
State is sincere in it's policy, but
that policy is proving disastrous to
the moral and material. welfare Of
thousands of Americans" declared
the temperance board through
Deets Pickett. its secretary.
Insisting that the border should
be closed except for reasonable and
legitimate purposes" Mr.. Pickett,
in replying to Secretary Colby's leg
ter Of refusal. said:
Il cannot believe that the depart
ment cannot adjust its passport
policy TO varying conditions on the
border. The last diplomatic and
consular bill was undoubtedly in
tended to give that power. The let
ter OF the department says that per-
init cards are now authorized under
the passport regulations for the
crossing and rccrossing Of the bor-
der in all cases where there is rca-
sonable and legitimate need for
crossing.
Exactly there is the point at is

Before the war there was no police
force in Jerusalem and there were
no murders and no robberies. The
Jews who go back to Palestine will
buy the land and the Mahometans
will find something else to do or
some place else to live"
An Agricultural People
Part of the problem was solved.
Mr.. Straus had found the Jews to
go back to Palestine, had got them
there and settled them in peace with
the Mahometans. The next question
was, What would they do when they
got there?
"The Jews are by nature an agri-
cultural people," Mr.. Straus said.
"My forefathers were for genera
tions small farmers in Germany.
The Jews have been forced into COM
merce by circumstances, but they
are naturally farmers. They will
be farmers in Palestine. 1t is
wonderful agricultural country. The
soil is the finest in the world.
"Aaron Aaronsohn, the greatest
agricultural Investigator the world
has ever known, had his laboratory
about forty miles from Jerusalem.
He was the discoverer of wild wheat
He found forty varieties of wheat.
1t was Aaronsohn who produced the
thornless cactus for feeding cattle
Burbank got the credit for it, but
Aaronsohn told me he had produced
it long before Burbank. Aaronsohn
was killed in an ceroplane accident
between Paris and London, when ne
was on a government mission. He
told M he had produced eight crops
a year of alfalfa in Palestine. Nv
other country can produce more
than $ tx crops year. The road
from haifa to Jerusalem is lined
with orange groves"
"But isn't it true that a large part
of Palestine will have to be re-
claimed by irrigation before it can
be successful agricultural coun-
try?"
"Yes; that is true"
"Where will the money come
from?"
"They will raise it. England has
already established two banks in
Palestine. One of them is the Anglo
Palestine Bank, They will raise
money and a large amount will be
contributed by Jews all over the
world"
MOI a Commercial Nation
"Do you think Palestine will be-
come q commercial nation?"
"No; it will be agricultural"
"Do you think it will ever become
one of the great nations of the
world, a first-class power, such as
America or England or France?"
Sshy>. J>~o1k -
"Will it ever equal second-class
power, like Spain?"
"Probably not"
