BaIfour Cheered When Jews
in London Celebrate
Mandate Action.
BY the Associa ted Press.

LONDON, July 12-Ten thousand
Jews in a demonstration in Albert
Hall, on the occasion of Great Brit
aims acceptance of the mandate for
Palestine, tonight unanimously adopt
ed resolutions expressive of apprecia-
tion of "the illustrious services rem
dered the Jewish nation by the states
men and peoples of the allied and as
ISOLATED powers, particularly Great
Britain
The resolutions pledged the Jews
ito spare no effort or sacrifice for the
rebuilding Of Palestine as a Jewish
national home. in collaboration with
the inhabitants of the country"
Arthur J. Balfour, lord president of
the council; the Marquis of Crewe, DR..
Chain WeiZmann. head of the Jewish
administrative commission. and Jew
nations who are holding a Zionist con-
ference here, addressed the meeting.
The Jews appealed for support of the
high commissioner in Palestine. Sir
Herbert Samuel, and the Jewish lead
ers there.
BalfOur Gets Ovation.
Mr.. Balfour, who was accorded an
ovation lasting several minutes, said
he hoped the Arabs in Palestine would
remember that Great Britain freed
them, and make no trouble. He said
he anticipated the greatest difficulty
would be the inability of the Jews to
work together and obey their leaders.
Max Nordau. replying to Mr.. Bal
four, asserted that the Jews, as well
as the English, were politicians and
that the British statesmen could be
assured that I'VE want to be Great
Britain's sentry on the Asia frontier
and if you will permit us to grow as
strong as we desire we will watch the
Suez canal for you and be useful
ally if necessary
DR.. Weizmann, referring to the Pal
estne Arabs. turned to Mr.. Balfour
and said:
The Arab and the Jew will collabo-
rate there on one condition only-that
the Arabs respect the right of the
prove source of strength and pride
to the mandatory power"
Sing, Cheer, Wave Flags.
When Josiah c. Wedgwood, labor
member of parliament. pledged the
support of "the entire labor party of
Great Britain to the Jews. not only to
build Jewish state. but to promote
internationalism and bring nearer the
brotherhood of man." Baron Roths-
child, who presided, was unable to re-
strain the audience. which rose,
cheered. waved flags and sang.
The demonstration ended with the
singing of "Hatikva," the Jewish
Sang of Hope. to the air of God Save
the King"
The American delegates to the Zion
list conference. who today secured the
Craftsmanship of all the important
committees, demanded that all the
officers of the conference resign 80
that the movement may be organized
to meet the new constitution"
1t is explained that the move was
not intended as a criticism. but that it
was considered necessary to carry out
the new program.
The American woman delegates de-
clined to join the proposed interna-
tional womens organization saying
they desired to remain an integral
part of Zionist America, where they
are accorded equal rights"

LONDON. Nov. 2S.-Peace Is Eu-
ropes chief financial need. without
peace return to efficient production
is impossible. Without an improve
ment In production the cunningest
financial devices will be unavailing.
Tho war clearly showed that countries
which can deliver goods need not worry
about Anance, and that those which
cannot only postpone ruin by financial
expedients-they cannot avert it finally.
For the improvement of production
the late belligerents and the new coun-
tries Of Europe need credit; which thew
cannot get without peace. Hence the
present state of affairs In eastern Eu-
rope is causing some apprehension The
recent Greek elections which rejected
the imperialist policy Of Venizelos left
q blank in the place Of twenty arrange
ments to secure peace in the Balkans.
In Armenia it is felt that the danger of
Bolshevik aggression, combined with
that of Turkish Nationalists, has been
revived. Moreover, a new Russian at
tack on Poland is reported. 1t is evi-
dent that the state Of affairs is still
dangerous, though if the worst hap
pens 1t might have the good effect of
inviting Europe to abate aggression,
which would be demonstrated as inef-
fective if resisted with determination.
War Natural Course
For the Bolsheviki to favor war is
natural, since the cry that a country
is in danger always stalies people
around the government. Hence the
policy of opening trade and making
peace with Russia is hopeful means
of inducing a change Of the Russian at
titude, if the big obstacles intervening
can be overcome. The worst obstacle
is the absence of Russian goods avail
able for export, with the exception of a
few millions Of gold whose ownership

that there will be a big margin for
debt redemption.
Assortment Against Extravaganco
Resentment against official extraya-
gance is growing. A number of
bodies pledged to public economy is
now united to insist on a reduction of
total expenditures to 95O.OO0 600
pounds sterling, including debt serv-
ice, which takes 3500Oo,0Oo pounds.
The contention Is made that the coun-
try Is overtaxed, and that the con-
ditlon RESULTS in reduction of funds
available for capital DEVELOPMENT This
is probably true, though it is very diff
ncult to estimate the taxable capacity
of any community. Certainly official
expenditures need clipping, and with
the present government in power this
will be made possible only by
vigorous public protest or by rcduc-
ton of revenue through trade depres-
sion, which continues and seems like
ly to do so until fall in retail prices
SAA'6o b"Ouo Nililu INe IeaCN OF con-
sumers. When this is secured. a bust
ness revival is likely.
Meantime the decline of Wholesale
prices and the difficulty in selling
goods are causing much liquidation
and uncertainty regarding the position
OF merchants and manufacturers
There have been heavy falls in the
rice of oil shares and other Stock
Exchange securities. New issues are
being poured out too rapidly for pub
lie digestion, although this is neces-
sary process for paying off bankers
loans to industrial companies and so
reducing the volume of bank credit.
The restriction of imitation is proceed
ing steadily.
The losses involved in price falls
are considerable, but big war profits
are behind the losers. Economic con-
valecence brings pain, but meantime
progress is being made toward health,
The resumption of arbitration deal
ings will be a symptom of return to
normal conditions, but it cannot be ex-
tenslve under present conditions in
the foreign exchange markets.

Lack of Peace Prevents Credit Extension

will remain doubtful until govern
ment in Russia is formally recognized
as a successor of the Cars.
There are enormous possibilities for
the development Of valuable exports Of
food materials which are now greatly
demanded, but the transportation sys-
tenn in Russia is demoralized and sew
eral years perhaps are needed before
considerable exports are possible.
Mean time development is impossible
without imports sent to Russia on
credit.
However, the Bolshevik attitude tow
ard capitalism does not encourage the
extension of credit. Reports current
Of big American deal with the Boil
shevki involving the shipment Of
goods in exchange for concessions
would be welcomed here but for the
possibility that goods received may
strengthen the Bolsheviki to attack the
peace of Europe. Though trade with
Russia is essential to Europe's recov-
cry, the beginnings of Russian trade
are likely to be terribly slow until con-
fidence is restored.
French Naval Program
In the mean time the French
Minister of Marine is reported to have
announced a great naval program for
the construction of cruisers and sub
marines. This news is a rather
humorous comment on the practical re-
suit of the recent financial conference
at Brussels, which protested against
expenditures for armamcnts.
The time when Europe will be a fair
business risk again seems far away,
yet public opinion, though still suffer
ing from after the war hysteria daily
grows in favor of peace and stability.
British finance has been further i'm
