competent to hear and determine any
dispute of an international character
which the parties thereto submit to it
The court may also give an advisory
opinion upon any dispute or question
referred to it by the council or by the
assembly,"

Jews i'm Palestine
Start Drive for
Redemption Fund
$500, 900 in Cash, Jewelry,
Land, Trees and Bricks
Contributed by People
From Personal Effects

Palestine, oldest country in the
world, is carrying out the neweet Of
the Western Hemisphere's ideas and
is conducting drive for the purpose
Of raising funds for the restoration
of the Holy Land, according to mes
sages received at the headquarters Of
the Zionist Organization OF America.
The drive" is designated as "Redemp-
ton Week. and great enthusiasm pre-
walls everywhere throughout Palestine.
However, in the case of Palestine
there is none OF the elaborate or
ganization which marks a similar cam
paign in this country, for the desire
to contribute toward the "Geulah," or
throughout the Jewish communities
Jews was realized through the action
Of the San Reno Conference.
cable message received by the
Zionist Organization from Jerusalem
states that 100000 in cash, jewelry,
land, livestock, trees, bricks and host
Of other miscellaneous gifts has been
raised among Jews, who stripped them
selves OF their personal effects in or
der TO swell the fund.
Every Jew Contributes
Tho remarkable feat of raising $780,
900 from the Jewish inhabitants of
Palestine, equal to a gift Of SIS by
each Jewish man, woman and child, is
explained by the fact that every jew
gave far beyond his resources in order
to help in the rebuilding of the Jewish
homeland. Most OF the Jewish inhabi-
tants in Palestine are without any
financial resources, as they gave up
IN
Lana to take over barren lands and
develop and cultivate them.
In many of the Jewish agricultural
colonies gifts were made of horses,
cows, oxen, chickens, grain, wool and
fruit, One community donated 10000
trees, another 1000 bricks, while all
told, $4,000 acres of land were given
to the fund.
Women and children stripped them
selves of their jewels and heirlooms, a
movement which has spread to Jewish
women throughout the world. In this
country, Mrs. Nathan Straus, just be-
fore she sailed for London to attend the
World Zionist Conference, gave all her
jewels, valued at $lS,500, to the Zionist
Organization Of America.
A verltabe golden stream of orna-
ments, sacred and otherwise, of which
every jewish nome, no matter now poor,
has some, was turned into the fund. This
included gold and silver candlesticks,
lamps, cups and bowls, while the report
from Jerusalem also enumerates the re-
ceipt of wedding rings, watches, spoons,
medall'ons, cigarette cases, lamps and
valuable book collections.
Little Girl Gives Dress
Workmen, teachers and officials gave
up a weeks wages; in some cases, two
weeks pay. Children contributed Just
as freely as their parents, the report
citing particularly a little girl who,
having nothing of any value except 4.
much priced silk dress she had just re-
ceived from Russia, gave it to the fund.
The Palestine Restoration Fund cam
paign, which has been carried out on a
large scale throughout the United States,
Canada and Great Britain, has spread
to all parts of the world, stimulated bv
the establishment of the Jewish National
Homeland.

LONDON, June ia we'll known
authority has recently stated that the

since the end of hostilites that. in adj

From a Special Correspondent

GENEVA. June 14.-One does not or
dinarily think of India or of the
Crimea as regions in which the woman
suffrage question would hold much
more. than academic interest. Yet in
the former country million women
are confidently expecting enfranchise-
ment next spring, and in the latter
Nine. Sarojini Uaidu, leader of
the Indian Nationalist movement and
delegate to the convention of the
international Woman Suffrage Asso-
citation, at a conference held June 10
explained publicly the status of the
feminist movement in India, and in
personal interview with the Tribune
correspondent she gave highly in
teresting resume of the conditions I'M
DERIVING the present position of
women.
Before any European influences were
manifested in India, according to
Nine. Naidu, virtually complete equal
ity of the sexes prevailed. No woman
was ever prevented from taking part
in political affairs. This condition has
persisted up to the present, in so far
as strictly Indian assemblages are
concerned, and Nine. Naidu stated
that it was not at a,I unusual for q
woman to be chosen to preside over
some native aSsemb4age numbering
we'll into the thousands.
Suffrage Up to Provincial Council
"Look," she said, pointing around the
hotel lobby in which she was seated.
"There we're at least 100000 women
delegates to the convention. Do any
of us look especially downtrodden :?
Do we appear to have been held in
bondage?"
The interviewer readily admitted that
neither hypothesis seemed tenable.
1.-TWO years ago." continued Nine.
Naidu, "the British government de-
cided to institute electoral reforms in
India. The result was that 100000
men were given the franchise based
upon property qualifications.
There were at last 100000 women
who would have been eligible to vote
had the same qualification been adopted
for them. All of the political delega-
tons which stated the suffrage case
before the British Parliament asked
that the vote be allowed both sexes
a striking proof of the manner in which
men and women work together in In
dian affairs.
Parliament decided, however, to
leave the determination of this matter
to the new Provincial Council, which
will meet for the first time next March.

Women of India Are Confident
Of Winning Vote Next Spring
lnasmuch as All the Progressive Parties, Which
Are Greatly i'm Majority Favor Suffrage, Pro.
vincial Council Is Expected to Grant the Ballot

Inasmuch as the leaders of all the
progressive parties-and the progress
sive element is greatly in the majority
have agreed in inserting equal suf-
frage planks in their platforms, 1t is
very probable that equal suffrage will
come soon after the Council meets.
No Sex Discrimination
what I wish to emphasize is that
the women in India are not engaged in
q struggle to secure their rights from
Indian men. Their interest is the in
terest of the men. There never was,
and never will be, any sex discrimina-
ton in India"
In contrast to the colorful and pic
turesque attire Of the Indian delegation
was the modish European garb of
Nine. Hanife Seidamet, wife Of the
president Of the Tartar Parliament of
the Crimea, who, with her husband, is
at present residing in Lausanne, Swift

Nine. Seidamet is proud of the fact
that her country is the first Moslem
one in which women have ever received
the vote. Shortly after the Russian
revolution in 1917 representatives from
different parts of the Crimean PENN
sula met and proclaimed their indie

was the inclusion Of universal suffrage
Women in Tartar Parliament
At present there are sixty eight
members of the Tartar Parliament, of
whom five are women, and in the
municipal councils Of the Crimean
Tartar Republic, as the country over
which the Parliament claims sover-

represented on basis nearly equal
with that of men.
Asked if the extension of suffrage
to women was not contrary to the Mos

The old order changes and the West

to be kept in accordance with the facts.

Three Important Questions
There are, however, three eoua,,v
if not more important questions a,
which there is at present a wide d;s
ference of opinion among the member,
Of the commission. 1t is these oues-
tions, incidentally, which proved tho
stumblingblock at previous attemnrs
to form some sort OF court of inter.
national justice.
In the first place, will the proposed
court be competent to deal with case
brought before it by only one Of the
sent Of both parties be necessary
tration proceedings?
Secondly, there is the difficult prob
lem of the position Of the cour.
a difficulty which caused the failure
Of the efforts made at The Hague in
1907 to establish court Of interna.
tional justice.
The trouble arises from the neces-
sity of reconciling the principle OF the
legal equality Of individual states with
the twofoid conditions of the forrns-
ton of the proposed court, namely:
that it shall be composed OF a limited
number Of judges and that its essential
reputation for impartiality shall be
assured
represented the principles of equality
and impartiality would be assured. but
the size Of the court would make i.
unwieldiy. /, on the other hand, only
some of the league members were rep.
resented it would be q workable court.
but it might not be trusted by the
powers excluded from membership and
by general public opinion.
Enforcement of Decisions
off" declares a high official of the
judges are to be considered as repre-
sentatives of various states the court
will meet with insurmountable Difficult
ties. The only solution is to be found
in the appointment Of the most eminent
jurists of the world community - the
League of Nations. These appointments
must be made in such a way as 20
raise the judges above national dis
tinctions."
Third, means must be found to in
sure the execution of the courts judy
ment. Under Article XIII of the
league covenant penalties are pro-
vided, should the decisions Of the
league arbitration tribunals not be car
ried out. 1t is for the present COM
mission to recommend whether or rot
the same rule shall apply to decisions
| of the court.
Working Basis for Committee
AS working basis on which to begin
their discussions the committee has
before it variety of proposals for the
creation of the court. These proposals
are as follows:
l. Project presented by the dele
gates of the United States to the pre-
limlnary peace conference
2. Italian project presented to the
preliminary peace conference
3. General project of the three
Scandinavian countries.
4, 5, 6, 7, s, 9, TO- Swedish, Danish,
Norwegian, Swiss, German, Austro-
German aRd Dutch projects.
