Zionists Plan a $50
Mile Canal Through
Palestine to Aid Suez

Jerusalem, Jan. 24-(By MaiD THE
Zionist organization has resurrected
the old plan of constructing a 250-
mile canal through Palestine as a
supplement to the Suez Canal. This
project was first brought out IS
years ago by the late Duke Of Suth-
erfand but was buried unceremoni-
| ously by Sultan Abdul Hamid be-
cause of his opposition to progress.
Traffic through the Sucz Canal has
become so congested these days that
it is claimed an alternate canal route
is required. Zionist leaders have be-
come convinced that the ever ex-
panding trade relations between Con-
tinental Europe and the Far East
|, have reached such dimensions that a
canal In Palestine would I'LL an urgent
need and reap untold commercial
benefits for Palestine.
AS planned by F. a. Maier Of Hol-
land. it's ardent supporter. the canal
would be divided into two sections,
one of which would extend from Hal
ia on the Mediterranean to Afuleh. on
the Lake of Liberals, or Sea Of Gal
lice.
Then there would be an intervening
part to be formed by a proposed Jor-
dan lake to extend from the Lake of
Tiberias toward the Dead Sea. This
would be filled with Mediterranean
sea water. Having crossed the Dead
Sea the canal would begin again at
Arabah at the foot Of that sea and
extend to Akabah at the head Of the
Gulf of Akahah, giving access to the
Red Sea.
While the building of such a canal
would necessitate the subme,l ence
of a considerable tract of fertile land
as well as a few towns and villages.
talong the Jordan, it's champions
claim that tho advantages would far
outbalance the loss.
1t is Claimed that the proposed Jor-
dan lake would increase the humidity
of all Palestine which now suffers
from excessive heat and dryness. thus
improving the climate as we'll as the
vegetation. Also. it is asserted, the
Jordan valley and the desert lying to
the east with the prairies south of
Houran. owing to the increase arr /
of water. would become great centers
for colonization and development.
Together with these climatic bene-
fits must be reckoned the commercial
possibilities in the scheme. Hnifa
might become a second Port Said.
touching place to ships of all i.ations.
Raw materials from Europe and
America so much needed for the
building up Of industrial enterprises
in Palestine and which now are being
held back due To scarcity OF calling
ships, would begin to flow more free

Thus it is claimed there would he

tine great industrial opportunities.

acted to place the school in dis
favor with the Knights Of the
Knightie. Condemnation Of the
university as a pros Catholic insti-
tuition employing mostly Catholic
instructors and attended largely
by Catholic students has been
consistently voiced by the klans-
men ever since.
The fact that less than 5 per
cent OF the instructors and fewer
than 7 per cent Of the students at
che university are Catholics is
carefully concealed by the pillow
cased propagandists, who continue
to berate the university for the al
legged pro-Catholicism OF the stu
dents it turns out and the purport-
ed Catholic sympathies of its ad-
ministrative officers. Carefully
analyzed, their opposition to the
university appears to be based on
the fact that 1t has refused to be

share of those fighting the khan
throughout the state are former
university students.

Whatever may be its reasons in
attacking the university, the hlan
has succeeded in so prejudicing
public opinion in Eugene that for
the first time in history there is a
recognized anti-university senti-
ment of considerable proportions
existing in Eugene.
Other evidences Of the discord-
ant note sounded by the Kluxere
in Eugene are the disruption OF
the chamber of commerce by sus-
picion and distrust engendered by
the khan, and the wrecking of the
Elks lodge there as social organ
ization. The Kluxing Of the Elks
