manner in which tho Panama rcvolu

the contrary those who have been saying
that the United States was guilty Of

after persuading Doctor Amador that It
would he impossible for any one to in
duce this country to pledge itself to the
support Of the rpvolutionists in advance
Indeed. according to Mr.. Runau-Na.
rila 5 story, nl that the United States
did was 10 live up to the terms of u
treaty with Colombia under which it
was authorized to prevent disorder along
the line Of the Panama Railroad. It
had landed troops for this purpose in
previous uprisings. and when the sue
ccSsful revolution broke out IL had men
on hand to prevent fighting on the 18th

the author charges Germany with ef-
forts to make trouble on the isthmus

of his connection with the canal enter

MORLEY At HIS BEST

full Essays

Thanks to David Mckay it is now
possible for those who read Christopher
Morley's Travels in philadelphia -
when printed originally in the columns
Of this newspaper to get them all bound
in book with pictures by Frank II.

The hncnpss Of the little essays was
generally recognized during their ap-
pearance in their original newspaper
type. When one rereads them in the
dignity of largo type on n neatly printed
page they take on new and distin-
Guished quality. As A. Edward Newton
says in an appreCiative introduction.
they "have a quality which we sup
posed had disanrrared with the cssayista
who were writing in London. just n
century ago. They are human and in o
timate. filled with quaint humor and
bubbling over with the love for hui.
mauity. And they arc couched in Eng
lish Of rare and Rhythmic beauty.
Young persons learning to write could
do much worse than to study Morley
for his style. They would dis
cover an absence of the hackneycd phra SO
and they would find common words used
III way 10 give them n new meaning
Every page discloses the deep knowledge
of the language which Morley possesses
and his fine appreciation Of the subtle
distinctions which can be conveyed by
the proper choice Of epthets.
To refresh the memory Of those who
enjoyed the essays when they first ap-
pcared in print it may be said that the
volume contains an appreciation of Lud =
low street, some musings on Chestnut
street as seen from fire escape. tho
description Of Market street as it might
have been written by Edgar Allan Poe,
Henry James. Walt Whitman and Karl
Baedeker and the account of n trim to
Valley Green, besides forty or fifty other
delightful things. The book ought TO be
in the library Of every Philadelphian and
every other lover of literature.

PROFESSOR JASTROW
OBJECTS TO MANDATES
He Suggests International Commissions Take Orer the
Control Of Palestine, Syria, Mcsopodna and armenia.
Opposes Political Zionism

The solution Of the Near Eastern
question, in the opinion Of Prof Morris
Jastrow, Jr.. Of the University of Penn.
syivnnia, does not lie in the assumption
by the United States Of mandate over
Armenia. Indeed. the whole mandate
theory seems TO him to be wrong. In
The Eastern Question and Its Solu-
ZION, he has discussed the matter at
some length
The mandate plan. hc writes. may
serve very we'll for South Africa. where
the population is made up of peoples
with no traditions. But in western
Asia, which has played distinguished
part in tho worlds history. the treat
ment of tho populations must be based
on an entirely different theory from
that which will work in the case Of
semisavagcs. He does not elaborate this
point quite so fully as might be desircd.
apparently assuming that it is axio-
matte. In addition to the inappliCahility
OF the mandate system to tho western
Asiastic problem, Professor IastrOw as
serts that the assumption of n mandate
over Armenia would be unwise because
we would have TO maintain an army Of
&c, 1000 men. and also because we have
no direct interest in that country. The
interests of England and France. he
says. are great enough to justify the
acceptance OF a mandate by them.
The solution Of the problem that
eppeals to Professor Jastrow lies. not
In the division Of western Asia into
three mandatorics under America
France and Great Britain. but in the
creation Of joint international commits
sions exercising general supervision
over the territory. with subordinate
commissions taking charge of the
separate districts. He sums Il. his
plan briefly in this way: The tutelagc

consistent accord with tho spirit Of in

international commissions. on each of
which Great Britain. France and the
United States should bc represented. to-
gether with representatives of two or
three other powers equally interested -
(doCs he mean Germany y" and-ar
important point-thcrc should also bt
representation on the commission Of the
native population"
As the Supreme Council seems to have
decided upon the adoption Of the man
date system. Professor Jastrow's dis
cussion is merely of academic interest
at the present time, yet it may become
of some importance as prophecy II the
plan Of the Supreme Council should not
succeed
Those interested in the Near Eastern
question should read along with Pro
fcssor Jastrow's book on the broader
issues his other volume on "Iionism
and the Future of Palestine in which
he reviews the history and purposes Of
Zionism in its religious. economic ana
nolitical aspects. The subtitle, THE
falacies and dangers of political Zion
ism" indicates its general tenor. lie
concludes that "A Jewish state would
simply mean a glorified ghetto. narrow
in its outlook. undCmOCratic in its or
ganization. and that may we'll turn out
to be- rcactionary in its tendencies. -
The political Iionists will, Of course,
disagree with him. but even thoy will
doubtless admit that hc has written an
interesting and informing book on the
subject.
