many consider to be about the
most important Of the many
questions which complicate the Tacna-

Of relief and pass the responsibility
for settling their troubles on to the
shoulders Of the eventual arbitrator.
In 80 doing they not only relieve
themselves Of their own burden but
bring to an issue the interesting
question. How about Bolivia?
Bolivia, with her pleas for sea-
port of her own, was shut out in the
cold in no uncertain terms when sne

conference that she was not signer
of the Ancon treaty and therefore had

her cause, biding her time until the
question comes up for final solution

time is near.
BOlivia's Hope in Arbitration.
Bolivia does not consider her cause
lost through the refusal of Chile and
Peru to give her a hearing. From
the beginning she has put her faith
in arbitration of the Tacna-Arica dis
pute by the United States. This
writer is informed, on good authority.
that Bolivia still considers herself
party to the adjustment of the owner
ship Of Tacna-Arica, and as yet the
United States has not declared It's
policy On this subject one way or the
other. So the issue is yet to be dis
posed of.
In the formula for arbitration as
understood to have been outlined by
Secretary Hughes and agreed to in
principle by Chile and Peru there Is
no mention of Bolivia. but friends
of Bolivia and her cause see in the
formula a hope that Bolivia will be

Opposftfon to Plebisclte.
There are many who hold that
plebiscite in the territories of Tacna

maintained garrisons in the area for
many years and the few industrial
activities carried on in this section
have been mainly Chilean. One OF
tho reasons Peru has held out against
a p,ebiscite under present conditions
is that Chile, completely dominates
the area and a plebiscite would. she

|BRITAIN'S ZIONIST POLICY
NOW LIKELY TOPREVAII,
Equal Opportunity for All Creeds Be-
ieved Made Certain By Action
of Parliament.

TO M: Nuremberg, Russian Jew, to
develop electricity through the water
resources of Palestine. The fact that
ne Is Jew was seized upon with
great Indignation. The fact that he
was a Russian Jew was shocking.
There came furious attack in the
house of lords. Efforts were made
to overthrow the concession. but
Balfour's defense prevailed, although
every vulgar prejudice was exploited.
The fight was transferred to the
house Of commons, and there the
anti-Zionists met their Waterloo.
Proposal scrutinixed.
Replying to the attack, Winston
Churchill showed that the colonial
Office had closely scrutinized the pro-
posal. Under it the Palestine gov
ernment controlled prices and limited
profits. Rutenberg himself is a man
of genius and high character. No one
denies the necessity for the develop
ment of the water power of Palestine.
No one thinks the Arabs are capable
of such development. They reap the
advantage with the rest from the
enterprise. 1t was suggested that a
Jew should not have been favored
with the concession and that the
business should belong to England.
Such a selfish suggestion destroyed
the bona fides of the case and the
temper of parliament showed little
sympathy with the anti-Semite spirit.
This is remarkable in house SO re-
dictionary as the present. The divi-
sion was almost sensational in its
emphasis, only 35 supporting the at
tack with 292 favoring the govern
ment- The result was the most
crushing of defeats for the anti
Zionist movement.
There is no doubt mistakes have
been made under the mandate, but il
is clear that the Arabs have no real
grievance unless equality of treat
ment be grievance. On the con-
trary. they stand to benefit from the
development of the country and the
social order introduced. So far as
the Jews are concerned their claim
to national rights in Palestine is in
new regime on the whole has been
entirely gratifying. and the view
strongly is heard in England that a
national home for the Jews will tend
ultimately to lessen the grounds for
hostility now widespread. Palestine
itself cannot fail to prosper under an
administration which for the first
time provides security of life and
equal laws under a capable, enter
prising government. Any attempt to
upset the system would be a crime
not only against the Jews, but
against Palestine and the best inter-
ests of the whole world.

LONDON, July S.-Great Britain's
policy Of equal opportunity for all
creeds in Palestine will prevail. The
crushing the opposition to the Ruten-
berg concessions dismisses the likeli-
hood that there will be any serious
departure from the present plans.
The formidable attack in the lords
and the commons upon Zionism has
ended in fiasco.
During the war Balfour committed
Jewish return to Palestine would be
its policy when hostilities ended. In
accordance with that promise Eng
land. in assuming the Palestine man
date. adopted a scheme to promote
that end. The object was not to esr
tablish a Jewish state. That was
impossible in view of the predomi-
nance of the Arab population and
also because of the fact that Pales-
tine contains the holy place of three
competing religions. Christian, Jew
ish and Mohammedan. In the cir
cumstances the mandatory power
was aimed. not at giving Jews pref
erence, but in establishing a just,
impartial state where Jews. equally
with Arabs and Christians. would
find secure home.
The first governor was a distin-
guished Jewish statesman. Herbert
Samuels. man of the highest char
acter and ability, who flied the Office
with conspicuous wisdom and justice.
Undercurrent of Opposition.
There has been a strong undercur-
rent of opposition in England. of
anti-Semitism abroad and of anti
British influence among certain Cath
olic powers. 1t was alleged that dur
ing the war the allies promised the
Arabs self-government. This was
only conditional on their support of
the allies and the Palestine Arabs did
not support their cause. On the other
hand, the undertaking to the Jews
was absolutely specific. The fulfill
ment has not injured the Arabs. 1t
has given them equal rights with
Jews and Christians. 1t has been al
legged, however, that the Samuels ad-
ministration favored the Jews. in
regard to concessions and land poll
cies. There is no evidence that this
criticism is justified
