British Control Essential.
Until then the hope of the Jews to

The British know it and do not mean

about self-determination and an Arab
state, but they do all they can to win
& their side the native population.
EI,he British grip on Palestine is
strong and ruling this country is cas-
ier on account of the dissensions
among the various sections of the
heterogeneous population.
Palestine in an Arab confede ration
or as an independent state would
cease to be in British hands. For

DREAM OF KINGDOM
Jews From Western Coun.

to Palestine Conditions.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.


Special Correspondence of The star and Chicago

JERUSALEM, Palestine, June i
On visiting some of the new colonies
IN Palestine one cannot help admir-
ing the Jews who have settled here
since 1919. Many Of them came from
Poland and Rumania, where thew
were engaged in business. and never
had an ak or a shovel in their hands
ihey were brought into this desolate
country and given patches of land
iney had TO build shacks to live in
oarns for their prospective crops and
wells to water their land. Most of
them had never done any manual la
DOR ana naturally found the work dis
tastetul. They had other dreams
@oout the promised land" The fig
ana olive trees described in the Zion
list pamphlets existed a few thousand
years ago, but many wars and sue
cesslve invasions by twenty or more
races had destroyed them.
The ground is here" the imni-
grants were told; "it is up to Won to
rebuild all the former prosperity.'
Many became discouraged and left
when they had enough money to nav
their passage back TO the countries
from which they came. Twenty thou
SAND or more were penniless and had
10 make the best of bad job. And
one must give them full credit for
having done it well. All over the
JeWlsh homeland one sees cultivated
territory. Instead of the Arab wood
en- plow drawn by an ass and a woman
scratching the soil superfcially, one
sees good American modern plows
drawn by well groomed mules
Arabs Dislike Innovations.
The innovations introduced py the
Jews are not pleasing to the Arabs
They cannot understand that, instead
OF having the womenfolk stamp on a
pile OF wheat, one should use thresh-
ing machines to get out the grain.
StlIl less can they understand why
window screens and powders should
be used to prevent millions of insects
from entering the houses and annoy
ing and injecting the people.
The dream of the zionists of recon-
structing the Jewish kingdom is rap
idly fading, but il is making room
Tor the more practical idea of giv-
ing to a certain class of Jews from
eastern Europe chance in a country
where they can live free from preju-
dice on account of their race and
religion.
The last few years have proved
that Jews from western countries
where they enjoy the same rights
and privileges as do other nationals
will not adapt themselves to Palestine
conditions. There is no room here for
traders and peddlers, but only for
years to come our Jewish population
will increase and grow stronger" one
of the Zionist leaders said to me-
