nately, Mr.. Ben-Avi is the editor of
the Jerusalem Daily Mail, so we
must take his statistics cautiously.
Anyhow, according to the Arab poli-
s~tieians the Jews form only per cent
OF the population. WeSwill even give
them 16 per cent, the percentage
which the Poles complain they are in
Poland. The fearful task then lies
before them, if a Jewish State IS to
arise by Jewish immigration, Of over
To assume that this can be done in
Palestine any more than it could be
done in Poland without the use Of
force is ludicrous. The Arab leaders
themselves protest against Jewish inn
migration. If they had their way,
they would prohibit it as ruthlessiy
as Abdul Hamid. But they are not
to have their way DIR. Weizmann
proposes to use force-to wit, the
British military Government, which
is to keep the door open for us. Why
then do he and his satellites accuse
me of wishing to employ force?
Palestine is not my problen-it is
theirs. long ago realized that this
was the difficulty we should come up
against, If we insisted on selecting a
territory inhabited as thickly as the
average part of the United States: a
territory moreover which apart from
its religious rivalries has throughout
history been dyed with the blood of
armies.
That honest Zionist, my friend Mr..
Cowen, will bear witness how often

and how often he has assured me the
Arabs would trek. They do not trek:
on the contrary they run Arab news
papers, even in Paris, and this nationl
alism existed long before the war.
"Dr. Weizmann and r."
Dr. Weizmann talks as if but for
me the Arabs would have welcomed
with open arms the masses of Jews
streaming in to swamp them. It is
useful to have scapegoat for the
defects of ones policy. But what
alarmed the Arabs was obviously the
Balfour declaration. Like the Jews.

friction by words, as the Zionists
seem to think. If hard words break

mend them. (Laughter)

Though we both began as Zionists,
years of reflection and unsuccess, to-
gether with the renewed pogroms and
Prosecutions, had brought us to the
same conclusion. The Judenschmerz
could be alleviated only by Juden-
staat, but like Pinsker and the early
Herzel, we agreed that the site Of this
Jewish State was a minor considera-
tion. No people now lives in it's origi-
nal habitat, and the soul is more than
the soil. The people asked for bread,
not a stone, however sacred; they
wanted security and not to run from
the murderers of Jews to the murder

The serge is a nice, sturdy

"DO you think Furniture

There can be but one honest answer to this

THE LEAGUE PREVENTS TWO

Referring to the dispute between his
country and Finland over the posses
sion of the Aland Islands, jurisdic-
ton of which has now been assumed
by the Council of the League of Ma
tions, the Swedish Prime Minister,
Hiamar Branting. says: Sweden
has complete confidence in the League
as a means of preventing future wars,
and proof of this lies in the fact that
we unhesitatingly placed our case in
it's hands,
The League of Nations referred to
is the one which the occupant of the
front porch at Marion, o., increasingly
denounces as a failure; which every
Republican orator insists no nation
can join without surrendering its in
dependence; which the Senatorial
cabal at Washington has falsely stig-
matized as an alliance to promote
war, and which every supporter of the
old militaristic and imperialistic order
in both hemiSpheres is flgntlng tootn
and nail.
Prime Minister Branting says fur
thermore: "All that the League needs
to make it a most effective and GER
tain instrument for reducing wars to
the absolute minimum is the partici-
patton of the United States" All this
sounds like a Democratic stump
speech, but in truth it is the convic-
ton of thirty-nine self-governing ma
tions solemnly proclaimed in the in
terest of humanity and peace, and
only yesterday illustrated anew when
Poland and Lithuania. the latter not
yet a member, agrees to suspend hos
tiIities and refer their quarrel to the

and gentle manner and made many

The deceased was a native OF Bos-

The funeral took place on Monday
morning, and was conducted by Rev.

YOUNG MAN KILLED FROM
CONTACT WITH LIVE WIRE

etc., can be happy in the thought that
there are others worse off. The Me.
tropolis says:
"Of course, we of the South think
that the cost of living is steep enough
here. Prices have scared and there
has been a general advance all along
the line, but the New York editor re-
minds us there is always some one
worse off than you,' and we will do
we'll to compile our advantages and
occasionally refer to them, especially
when the calamity bird squawks its
pessimistic song.
1.-The secret of the South's success
is based on the ability to produce its
own necessities. 1t is not dependent.
1t is industrious. There are no prob
lens which it cannot solve without
outside assistance. And in these
days when things characteristic OF the
South are at a premium editorial
praise is heaped upon us. We would
just remind these praise-sounders
though that the South is not develop
ing new qualities. They, including
the Sun and the New York Herald, are
removing the glasses of sectional pre-
iudice. That's all.''-Ft. Myers Tropi-
