WHAT IS ENGLAND'S
GAME, ANYWAY?

Since the days of Cyrus, the
Persian, no nation has earned, de-
served and received the gratitude
of the Jewish people in the same
measure as did England when.
during the World War, she is
sued her famous Balfour Declare
ton promising to help the Jews in
the realization of their ages-old
hope for the restoration of the
Jewish homeland in Palestine. To
the majority of Jews England
thus appeared in the role OF a
Messiah.
English arms conquered Pal
estine, and a British military adj
ministration has ruled it since
that conquest. But it was under
stood that that administration
was only temporary. The ST.
preme Council of the Powers at
the Peace Conference was to de-
termine the ultimate disposition
to be made of that and other
parts of the Turkish Empire.
There was no doubt in any ones
mind, however, that in the dis
tribution of mandates for those

cause England wanted it, had to
have it. Palestine is necessary
link of England's world empire,
owing to its nearness to Egypt,
the Suez Canal, the Red Sea and
the way to India. England was
in Palestine by right of conquest,
and she has never been known to
leave country in which she has
once gained foothold.
England even before receiving
her mandate from the Supreme
Council of the Powers having full
control of affairs in Palestine,
could in different ways have sig
nifed her intention of making
good the promise she had given
the Jewish people. Yet in reality
not thing has been done by her
to show any such intention. She
allowed Jewish money and Jew
ish energy and skill furnished by
the Zionists to make certain i'm
provements in the conditions Of
the country. But no Jews have
been allowed to enter Palestine;
no Jews have been allowed to buy
a square inch of soil in Palestine.
The excuse for these restrictions
was that the conditions of the
country, political and economic,
were yet too unsettled to allow
any Jewish immigration and es-
tab1ishment at the present time.
We believed it; we were salts
fed we were hopeful.
In the meantime, like a thun-
derbolt from clear sky came the
shocking news of an Arab po-
grom in Jerusalem. Arab agita-
tors had been threatening and in
stigating hostilities right along.
But we believed, in fact we were
certain, that the British Admin
istration in Palestine would never
allow those threats to be car
ried into effect. The British mill
tary arm could easily squelch any
attempt at rioting, any NANTES
tation of active hostility.
But the tragic report that now
reaches us from Palestine, report
unquestionably authentic and
true-for the Jews of Palestine
would not dare spread such a
false reports to the effect that
the pogrom was carried out with
the full knowledge, connivance
and even indirect encouragement
of the British authorities there;
that those authorities knew all
along of the different acts leading
up to the final tragedy, without

as much as the Jews did. We
refer the reader to our leading
article in this issue.
If the British authorities in
Palestine are guilty of this ter
rib1e crime, did they commit it
without the knowledge of the
government authorities in Eng
land? Did they do it entirely on
their own responsibility? That
is unthinkable. English official
dom is too we'll trained, too we'll
disciplined for that. It takes and
obeys orders from above, or, at
least, it makes sure that its own
acts will meet with the approval
Of superior authority. If the
British officials in Palestine al
lowed the pogrom upon the Jews
Of Jerusalem to take place, they
must have received a hint, direct
ly or indirectly, from those high
er up, that a little pogrom, or
something similar to it would just
suit their purposes.
The question, then, is: What
is England's game anyway? To
promise the Jews national
homeland in Palestine, the ulti-
mate establishment of Jewish
commonwealth, and then allow a
horde of wild Arabs to fall on the
defenseless Jewish community of
Jerusalem to rob, destroy and
kill! Was this a necessary pre-
liminary for England's obtaining
the mandate for Palestine? The
leaders of the Arabs, as we know
have opposed the mandate, have
declared Syria and Palestine an
independent Arab kingdom, with
Prince Feisal as it's ruler. For
England completely to defy the
wishes and ambitions of the
Arabs, without having some ex-
cuse for such action, would be
poor policy, since England has a
vast Arab and Muhammedan
population in other parts of her
vast empire, in Egypt, 'Mesopo-
tamia, and India, to reckon with.
A pogrom carried out by the
Arabs on another element of the
population-and who is so suit
able as a scape-goat as the Jew
would suffice to demonstrate to
the world and to the Arabs them
selves that England's permanent
control of Palestine is absolutely
necessary.
If that is England's game, then,
all we have to say is that it
speaks well for England's bril-

~THE BAR'L.
BY Shan T. Boy
Oh Isaac, dear Isaac, bring over your
bar'l.
The boys here are waiting for you,
Come over and see us as soon as you
can,
Show us what your big bar'l can do.
The boys are all thirsty, and nearly
dead broke,
And politics mixed in a snarl.
Come over and help US to straighten
things out,
And please don't forget your big
barl.
Dear Isaac, If on the political sea,
Your wish is i'll safety to sail,
And be waited toward the congress-
ional halls,
By a gentle republican gale;
If towards those wide halls you
would peacefully glide,
Borne on the republican wind,
Come over and see us come here right
away
And don't leave your bar'l behind.
Come over to Wausau, go up "on the
line"
Spread your musty old greenbacks
around,
AS your big bar'l comes over the cor
duory roads
It's expensive we know, but we must
have some cash,
And we don't want to have any
quarrel,
And If you want to tread the congress
S1Onal hall,
You must come and bring over your
bar1.
The boys here will greet you with
laughter and song,
And boost you to congress once
more,
If you only will bring your big bar1
along,
And sling the contents as before.
So Isaac, dear Isaac, come over here
soon,
We are all tangled up in a snarl,
We want few greenbacks to straight
en- us out,
Then come and bring over your
bafl.
