Backlog Studies

One of Americas most charming
writer's. Charles Dudley Warner, once
wrote book called by the above
title. 1t represented family as sit
ting around the warm hearth on cool
fall nights, talking about interesting
things, the spirit of conversation pro-
NOTED by the CHEEKY embers and dane
ing flames.
In these days of gas logs and furn-
aces, the fire on the hearth has died
out in many homes. Often there IL
no hearth Where that lack exists. a
certain vital element that made old
time life pleasant has dropped out
The open fire seems to promote friend
ship and stimulate conversation.
Many families still gather around
the smouldering backlog. and find 1t as
CHEEKY as ever. There Is something
restful and calming about 1t. People
who put up dewllings should think
long and earnestly before they omit
provision for the good old backlog

CHILE AND BOLIVIA UN.
SUITABLE FOR JEWISH
IMMIGRATION

Buenos Aires q. T. A.)-The
Commission representing the
Jewish relief agencies here,
which had been sent to investi-
gate the immigration possibilities
of Chile and Bolivia has brought
back a report that neither of
these countries are adaptable for
a large Jewish immigration.
Wherever Jewish communities
exist, the Committee has found a
willingness to help homeless
Jews, the report states, adding
that nucleus of Jewish relief
committees has been formed in
number of places. But the eco
nomic conditions of Chile are
such as to prevent the settlement
of large numbers of immigrants,
only highly qualified workmen
being in a position to earn their
livelihood. AS to Bolivia, the
Committee found that that coun-
try is entirely unsuitable for Jew
ish immigrants.

London q. T. 1.-The ru-
mors current in London yester-
day regarding the early retire
ment of Sir Herbert Samuel as
High Commissioners for Pales-
tine to be replaced by Lord Mil

in Colonial office circles to which
the Jewish Telegraphic Agency
applied for confirmation.
The reports originated in the
Pail Mall Gazette and Globe,
where it was said that "Sir Her.
bert Samuels stay in the Near
East is unlikely to be prolonged"
and in the conflict known to be
existing between the High Com
missioner and Winston Spencer
Churchill, secretary for the Colo
MES, over the dispatch of 700 ex-

the Palestine Gendarmerie. Sir
Herbert Samuel is believed to OBJ

ARAB PRESS. COMMENCES
POGROM PROPAGANDA

Jerusalem { ]. c. B.)-The ex-
pected propaganda melting the
Arab population to make use of
the approaching Easter holidays
in Palestine has begun. Leading
in this propaganda with an un-
precedented frankness and bold
ness is the Jaffa "Phillistin."
The two notable exceptions are
the Al Naffir of Haifa and the Al
Achbar of Jafa, both of which
caution moderateness in dealing
with the Jews. The others are
uniformly hostile and taking ad-
vantage of the suspension of the
censorship, are calling upon the
Arab population to stage final
demonstration against the Zion
list policy of the British Govern
ment reaffirmed recently in the
statements of Colonel Winston
Churchill.

The theory underlying the proposal
for Federal Coal Commission is bas-

predominant. Two other proposals
are being discussed. One of these
