CONGRESS PASSES PALESTINE
RESOLUTION

At the closing session of Congress,
Saturday, July l, the Hamilton Fish
resolution expressing approval of
Palestine as the Jewish Homeland
was unanimously adopted. AS the
senate had adopted a similar resolu-
ton by Senator Lodge on June 3rd,
the resolution now awaits the Presi-
dents signature. The motion was
passed without debate, those repre-
sentatives who had prepared speeches
being constrained to have them pub
lished in the Congressional Record.
AS this was the final day of the
present session of Congress the ad-
vocates of the Palestine Resolution
had to choose between debateless
vote or the postponement of the en-
tire question for some later date. And
the former course was chosen. In
view of the opposition at the hear
ing of the committee to whom the
resolution had originally been re-
ferred, of several Reform Rabbis,
Arabs and latterly the disapproval by
the Pope, the unanimous vote by
Congress is regarded as a signal vic
tory for the cause of the Jewish
Palestine. AS the League of Nations
on July 18th is scheduled to take up
the ratification of the British Man
date for Palestine, the passage of the
Resolution by Congress is considered
very timely.

GENTLE HARVARD GRADUATE
DEMANDS BOYCOTT OF
HARVARD

Cleveland q. T. A.)-Mr. Alfred
Benesh, a we'll known local lawyer
and vice president of the Cleveland
lodge of the Order B'nai Birth, is in
receipt of letter from James Plat
White of WILLIAMSBURG, Mass, in
which he severely criticizes the atti-
tude taken by Harvard University to-
wards Jewish students. Mr.. White,
who is a Harvard graduate of the
class of 1900, writes:
"Many gentle graduates will stand
behind you in the fight against the
pettifogging slovishness of narrow
minded vulgarians who dare commit
such a caddish act in an institution
of great traditions, I have library
of modern drama, the most complete
in the world, which | had bequeathed
to Harvard University. l will now
cancel the bequest as I have no desire
to give my much-loved collection to
an institution trying to compete with
Henry Ford"
In conclusion, Mr.. White urges a
boycott of all Harvard periodicals.

CHALUZ MOVEMENT GROWS IN
RUSSIA

Kovno q. T. A.)-Jewish pioneers
from Russia who are training for
work in Palestine, arriving in Kovno,
declare that the Chaluz movement in
Russia is growing apace, it being
neither legalized by the government
nor prosecuted by the authorities.
Appreciation for the work of the
Chaluzim is expressed by all parts
of the population who have wit
messed the self-defense organization
created and commanded by Chaluzim.
Robber bands have been destroyed
with their help, it is said, the central
committee of the Chaluzim serving
practically as the central committee
for Jewish self-defense.
Ten thousand young men and
women are organized in 800 groups
or "kewutzoth," tilling the soil as
part of their preparatory training for
life in Palestine.

BRITAIN AFFIRMS ARABIAN
RIGHTS IN PALESTINE
Country Will Not Become Jewish, as
England Is English, Is Decree

England is Engl1Sn, is decree
London, July 1.-The British gov
ernment's statement of policy regard
ing Palestine, issued today in the
form of a white paper, says:
"The British government reaffirms
the declaration of November, 1917,
which is not susceptible to change. A
Jewish national home will be found
ed in Palestine and Jewish people
will be in Palestine as of right and
not on sufferance.
"But His Majesty's government has
no such aim in view as that Pales-
tine should become as Jewish as Eng
land is English"
The statement says the disappear
ance or subordination of the Arab
population, language or culture is not
contemplated. The status Of all citi-
zens, it says, will be Palestinian. The
establishment of full measure of self
government in Palestine will be fost-
cred and legislative council set up.
The special position of the Zionist
executive, it says, does not entitle it
to a share in the government of the
country.
immigration will not exceed the
economic capacity of the country.
Any religious community or consid-
cradle section of the population
claiming that the terms of the Pales-
tine mandate are not being fulfilled
will have the right of appeal to the
League of Nations.
The white paper concludes with the
announcement that the Zionist organ
ization has given formal assurances
that it's activities will be conducted
in conformity with the above policy.

Kovno q. T. AUTHORIZATIONS of

a bill, drafted and introduced in Par
Lament by the government, guaran-

The Jewish Ministry, under this
bill, is to enjoy the same rights as

JEWS ARE STRONG-IS THE
LATEST ANTI-SEMITIC
ACCUSATION

WarsaW-The Jewish sport organ
izations "Maccabee" and "Hakoach"
have of late defeated the best known
Polish sport societies, such as "Cra-
cowia" and "Pharmazia."
The Polish anti-Semites could not
bear this humiliation, and now have
come out with new cry-the Jews
are too strong and may in time con-
quer Poland and enslave the Poles!
It hurt them still more to discover
the good relations that exist between
the Polish and Jewish sport clubs,
They see signs of evil days in this.

model woman, was pre-eminently a
model housewife. "Crawshaws' was

Y The only room in the house which
Sabre did not like was the sitting
room on the ground floor; and it vas
his own room, furnished and decor

S and comfort. But she called it

detested the word den as applied TO
a room a man specially inhabits, 1t
implied to him a masculine untidi-
ness, and he was intensely orderly
and hated untidiness. 1t implied
customs and of what ne
called clearinghouse ideas"-the
idea that q man must have IN un-
tidily comfortable apartment into
which he can retire and envelop
himself in tobacco smoke. and where
he "can have his w things around
him and have his pipes and his pic
lures about him." and where he can
wear IAN old shooting jacket and
slippers''-and he loathed and de-
tested all these phrases and the ideas
they connoted. He had no "old Shoot
ing jacket and he would have given
1t to the gardener If he had: and he
detested wearing slippers and never
| did wear slippers; it a his habit TO
| put on his boots after his bath and

he loathed and detested the vision
| which the word ''den" always con-
jured up to him. This was a vision
of the door of a typical den being
opened by a wife. and of the wife
saying in a mincing voice, This is
George in his den." and of boarding
house females peering over h wife's
shoulder and smiling fatuously at
the denizen who, in an old shooting

ly back at them. To Mark this was
