ORIGINAL cRUsoE ISLAND
Several Hundred Tourists Recently
Visited The Historic Spot

visited The Htstoric spot
Valparaiso. Chile, February 10
Correspondence Of The Associated
PressI-The rescue from an island in
kirk, the British mariner, around
whom Daniel Defoe is said TO have
woven the tale OF Robinson Crusoe,
was wildly pictured to several hun
dred tourists, including prominent
British and American residents OF
Valparaiso, on their arrival recently
at Juan Fernandez--the original Cru
soc island-25o miles off the Chilean
coast.
Two natives of Juan Fernandez,
one representing Crusoe and the 9TH
err his man Friday, clothed in the
traditional goat skins and wearing
long boards, pushed OF from shore on
a raft after they had sighted the res
their only passengers and, as in De-
foes story, the raft, was laden with
ash, fruits and other island products.
Boarding the vessel the ''marooned"
pair were received with all honors by
the captain to whom "Crusoe" pre-
scented his offerings. The passengers
then took up collection for poor
children on the island.
Tourists spent three days at the
Juan Fernandez island group visiting
the wild country Of high mountain
peaks and luxuriant vegetation. They
saw the monument erected by Brit
ish seamen to the memory OF Selhrk,
the original Robinson Crusoe, and
visited the lookout from which he is
said to have sighted, nearly two CEN
turtles ago, the vessel that finally
rescued him after four long years OF
solitude. y.

NEW HOPE IN PALESTINE
Arabian People Fighting Plan To
Make Holy Land Home For Jews


Make Holy Land Home For Jews
Jerusalem. February 14.-[Corres-
pondence of The Associated Press]-
New hope has been aroused in the
hearts of the Arabian people in Pal
estine by the publication here Of a
statement made by the London Morn
ing Post that the British government
intended TO give a new Interpretation
TO the Balfour promise to make
Palestine a Jewish homeland.
That declaration has been thorn
in the flesh of natives of Palestine
who are fighting tooth and nail the
idea of a Jewish Home" in the Holy
Land. Their delegates have roamed
Europe in an endeayor to influence
public opinion in favor of Palestine
Tor the Palestinians.
1t is rumored here that a larger
measure of self governs-ent will be
accorded the Arabs, that they will
be allowed permanent majority in all
departments of the government, and
that fat government jobs so far &C.
cupied by Englishmen will be opened
to them.
Toward all such concessions the
attitude of the Arabs seems to be
Good as far as it goes but We
want more. We want to see the
Jews out of Palestine"
That dissatisfaction with the pres
ent political situation is widespread
is evident. Both Zionists and Arabs
are complaining bitterly in their
respective press that what they call
the double faced policy" adopted by
the administration has put the great
est obstacles in the way of the coun-
try's development
HaertS, Zionist daily, is openly
demanding the recall Of Mr.. Storrs,
governor of the Jerusalem District
for his Pro Arabism, while Falastin,
an Arab daily, declares that the Brit
ish governments PRO Zionism pol
icy'' is allowing 100000 people to be
sacrificed on the altar Of Jewish
capitalism."
