Commercial Life

CAIRO, Egypt, Nov. 2-Signs of a
commercial revival are seen by bus
mess and shipping communities in
Egypt. After months of depression,
they say, there has come a healthier
tone of confidence and optimism
which is most encouraging. The
feeling prevails among the business
interests that the late fall will see
the country back to normal and heal
thy trade.
The Egyptian public is wearying
OF the discussions of the country's
future political status and is show
ing far more interest in the price of
cotton which is the barometer of
commercial activity.

could not boast of a single govern
ment high school. Even now 70 per-
sons out of every 100 do not know
how to read and write.
The path of educational develop-
ment in Palestine contains one great
stumbling block, the lack of COOPER
alton and unity among the different
elements of population. The gov
eminent schools today are attended
only by Mohammedans.
There is great need for institu-
tions of higher education. At pre-
sent, there is not a college in the en-
tire state of 100000 inhabitants.
The American university of Beirut,
Syria, is the only place open to Pal
estinians seea King higher education.
The authorities recognize this lack
of education al opportunity but find
themselves helpless to remedy it ow-
ing to the inability to obtain funds.
There has been a great deal of talk
in recent years about establishing a
Hebrew university in Jerusalem. Its
plans have been drawn and the corn
err stone has been laid but the money
to build it has not been secured and
it remains in the realm of things yet
to be.

years cotton crop acted as a damper
on the business community which
feared a further restriction of the
Egyptians purchasing capacity. Eff
forts have been made to relieve that
situation. Prominent groups of
Egyptian cotton growers have visit

ners of Manchester that Egypt will
not continue to grow cotton for I'M
remunerative prices.
The Egyptian government has Of
ficially restricted the area of cotton

RONUS FOR EXSERVICE
 MEN

Continual agitation for a bonus of some sort for the men who served in the Unit ed States army and navy dur ing the war is a question which is holding the center of the stage in every state Fl the Union and in Alaska The arguments advanced tol. and against a cash bonus are many. A cash bonus would would require special Legislation? and create the necessity oi bonding, particularly so T. Alaska where it would be ne cessary to get p. permIl!ssssio-s !! ss from Congress. The differ ent American Legion posts scattered throughout tiie Territory are for and against the granting of a bonus ln i the shape of 16O acres ol land. :,
 The following facts ana figures are set forth for the attenuation of all exservice men:
 (a) Between the dates of April 6, 1917 and Nov. IL, 1918, Alaska furnished 2,3Sl men for the army, navy and coast guards according to figures furnished by the sts, tistical branch General Staf U. s. Army.
 (b) To pay a cash bonu: of $500 per month, alloy ing an average period of te months service for each ma would require S357, ,l5O.OO. .
 (c) The Territory's tot; income is approximate S4OO,000.00 per annum, all ( which is consumed in opel ating expenses
 (d) It is observed. there fore, that it would requir approximately the entir revenue for one year to pa. this bonus.
 (e) It would appear ths the only way to raise mone. to give to ex-service me. would be through the issu ance of bonds, and to issu bonds the Territory mus get permission from Con gress which, upon nvestiga ton by your department of ficers seems to be practical ly impossible.
 (f) The Alaska Legisla ture can, however, ask Con gress to grant to the Terri. tory of Alaska, 160 acres O! land or schipt therefore fol each of her ex-service men This land, (any 160 acres the man may select) to be giver to him in turn by the Terri. tory. This request can be presented, it is believed with far more assurance of its be- ing granted.
 (g) Do not confuse with the homestead. This grant is to be absolutely free from all residence requirements.
 (h) In conclusion the man must not overlook the fact that it would indeed be poor judgement on his part if he. did not select a piece of land that he would be able to dispose of for more than $150.00 immediately upon getting his deed Many of
