BUSINESS PROGRESS
GOOD IN PALESTINE
DESPITE QUARRELS
tBy Associated Pressl


JERUSALEM, July 1.-THE indus
trial development of Palestine under
the Jews is moving forward in leaps
and bounds, and this In spite of the
many trade quarrels that have sprung
up OF late between employer and en-
ploye.
During the past year no less than
4,o0O licenses were issued for new
trades and industries in Palestine.
The extent of this development can be
judged from the fact that prior to
1921 only $500 licenses were register
ed by the government. This means
that nearly two-thirds Of the enterpris-
es in Palestine were started within
the last year.
The capital invested in each of
these new ventures ranges from $780,
600 to $4,000, but with such notable
exceptions as the Silicate company,
of Jaffa, with a capital of $500, 900,
and the Standard Oil company, now
exploiting the Dead Sea Basin.
Buy Large Tract
A tract of 800 acres of land has
been bought by British Jewish inter
ests and will be devoted to home and
factory building, while American in.
terests are starting a building and
loan association and savings bank. A
casino, two bathing establishments
and electric lights are among the at
fractions of an American" seaside
resort which has sprung up on the
sands stretching to the North of
Jaffa.
In reality this is a Jewish township
and its local name is Tel Aviv, but
10 a visitor it appears a go-ahead
American town with a spirit that over
comes all obstacles. 1t has more than
l.. 600 inhabitants and an immense
brick factory working night and day

A number of the scenes in Gods
Crucible," the screen adaptation of
Ralph Connor's famous novel which
is drawing the crowds to the Murray
theatre this week, were "shot," as
the saying goes, in one of the largest
and most exclusive hotels in Winni-
peg, where most of the action trans
pires.
Director Henry Alexander MacRae,
when he read the script and learned
its requirements, set about to obtain
the use of this hotel. This done, he
the company, the camera men, the
electricians and the mechanics piled
in and got to work at once.
Guests of the hotel fairly flocked
about, watching their every move, and
as a result several members of the
very smartest set of Winnipeg may
be seen working as 'extras" in this
truly remarkable production.

urged by Senator Pomerene, demo-
