BRITISH JEWS ASK FOR HOME
 IN PALESTINE

Leeds, Eng. May IS. = British Zionists are demanding. now that Great Britain has received a mandate in Palestine, that the British govern ment fulfill it's promise to restore that country as a national home for Jews. Some of them betray some ap prehension that the claims or Lne Arabs to Palestine may prevent full realization of the Zionist hope.
 We want to begin our great work" says Rev, J. E. Golfer of Leeds we are ready to provide money-5o,D00 pounds or 100000 pounds is nothing once we are sure of our posftion-and to arrange for the emigration of Jews not only from England, but from Poland and else where to Palestine.
 .%We must know definitely if the British government is going to stand by it's promise, or betray the soul of the Jewish people? The promise was distinctly that of a national home. state in Palestine.
 There has always been drawn across the course of Jewish national ism the red herring of Pan-Arabic ambitions. We declare that we are prepared in Palestine to deal justly fairly, and generously with the Arab problem, but for the Arabs to want Arabia, Mesopotamfa, and Palestine ' as a triple Arab Kingdom, ere they have proved their capabi1ity of gov karu1ng a single autonomous unit. is ErAztca1kv absurd.

A mammoth dredge purchased by fhe Bridgeport Dredge and Dock Co.,, which arrived here from the Erie ca nal last week by the Tug CcnrUy of the Bronx Towing Company, was beached on the mud flats in the low CT harbor yesterday in order to in stall tAe 30x30 dmbers which hold the craft in position.

WILL HAVE TO
 ESTABLISH NEW
 MEXICAN POLICY

Mexico, nearest Southern neigh bor. is a perpetual hornets nest, for ever bIzzinS and Stinging with it's futile wars and vain ambitions, never settling down to home work A live American feels much the same desire to throw a rock into it, that he used to feed toward the nest of yellow jack cts in his fathers back orchard
 With CarranZa's flight another era passes, and the American government will have to frame a new policy. This policy should not be based on romantic ideas, but on cold facts. It should always be kept in mind that Mexico is practically an Indian re- public. It has but about 20 per cent of straight white blood. aThe rest arc about half pure Indian, and the re mainder half breeds.
 The situation is much more diff ficu1t than in a country like Brazil where nearly half the people are o1 the white race
 You can't expect to build a de mocracy after American standards among a race whose origins are se largely savage and barbarous.
 The land question is at the root O. their troubles. With so large a DOT ton of the soil held in great es tates, there will always be a grea under element who feel no ties any where, and are ready to join gangs O. bandits and keep the country in tur moiL
 The American people are not loved in Mexico.
 The Mexicans will respect us mucl more, if they are made to realize tha Americans engaged in lawful pursuit in their country must be protected or otherwise satisfaction will be in sisted upen-

NEW CITIZENSHIP LAW IS PASSED
 IN PHILIPPINES

Manila, P. l., May 1.-The Philip pine citizenship bill passed by the last legislature has been signed by Gov ernor General Harrison. A section of the act which permits the acquisition of Philippine citizenship by Orientals who are specifically barred from be- coming citizens of the United States must be approved by the President of the United States-before it can be come a law.
 This would allow Chinese and other Orientals who are doniciled in the Philippines at present to gain citizen ship, but would not permit the inn portation of Chinese labor into the islands.
 On account of the scarcity of labor in the sugar cane and rice fields o1 the Philippine Islands there have been several attempts to pass through the legislature bill to allow the importation of Chinese laborers but these attempts have failed SC far.
