TO STUDY SYNAGOG MUSIC

The musical research tour to OBJ
tain new material for synagogal mu-
sic has been undertaken by A. W.
Binder, instructor in synagog and folk
music at the Jewish Institute of Re-
ligion. Mr.. Binder sailed on June
18th on the Berengaria bound for Pal
estine, where he will spend a month
taking notes on Jewish and Arabic folk
songs, as well as the ancient melo-
dies of the Yemenites. He will spend
most of his time in Palestine, in jew
ish farming colonies and Arab viii
lagos.
Before his return to America, Mr..
Binder, who is regarded as an au-
thority on synagOg and Jewish folk
music, will visit Vienna, Berlin and
Leipsig to gather old and new syna-
cog music by European composers
which he will embody in the religious
services of the Free Synagog at
Carnegie Hall, of which he is choir
master.
Mr.. Binder, who is American born
and trained, is the composer of many
authoritative works for the synagog,
and he is the author of the "Chanuka
Songster," "Purim Songster," "Seder
Melodies" and an oration for children
entitled Judas Maccabeus" which
has been performed all over the coun
try. He has also written many songs
on Jewish and secular subjects, and in
addition, has composed many secular
works for orchestra, string quartet
and other chamber music combira-
tions.

New YorE-The American Palestine
Line may have TO put an ad in the
papers, reading as follows:
Wanted "A good name for the sec
ond steamer of the American Palestine
Line, the companion boat Of the Prcsi-
dent Arthur. jewish preferred"
Some people may think that the mat,
ter Of a name for boat is a trivial
matter. A boat by any other name
would float just the same, but Judge
Strahl, president OF the A.P line knows
otherwise.
Judge Strahl recalls the controversy
that ragged over the adoption Of the
name Of the first ship, the President
Arthur.
Many Of the more orthodox insisted
that the name President Arthur was
not fit cognomen to christen a Jewish
ship. The officials Of the American
Palestine Line however felt that they
were under obligations to the Ameri.
can goyernment-the ship formerly was
government property, and so they were
reluctant about changing it, And so
the officials Of the A-P line finally
justified themselves before the ultra
orthodox by pointing out two good He
brew wOrds-from the name Arthur
or, light and "Tahor" meaning, pure,
The A-P line desires to avoid any
of this controversy in the naming OF
the next ship, for whose purchase
negotiations are now in process.
We need this additional boat, Judge
Strahl explained, particularly for the
Mediterranean zone. On an average
now, 5000 Chaluzim a month are com
ing TO Palestine.
AT present these chaluzim are an
dergOing the severest trials in making
this journey Many of them are now
travelling as deck passengers, living
virtually on nothing during the voyage
but hot water, and sleeping on bare
mattresses. They make the journey
now by ship and train in the most
roundabout way.
Our plan is to pick up these Chalu-
zim at two points, Triest and Constanz,
The journey thence TO Haifa by boat
is a direct one, requiring only four
days"
The A-P line this week, was mott.
fed that it had been admitted into the
Mediterranean Conference. This is re.
garded by officials Of the line, ms the
most beneficial thing, from a business
standpoint, that could have happened
to the line. 1t means that the more
than 5000 agents who now sell tickets
to various other lines of the Mediter-
ranean Conference are not permitted
and authorized to sell tickets of the
American Palestine Line.
Admission into the American Con-
| ference simply means, Judge Strahl
said, that we now have over 5000 more
agents selling our tickets than we did
week ago. 1t means that throughout
the length and breadth of the globe,
there are agents, booking for us vOy-
ayers to the Holy Land

Report Of Two Months Work Reveals

(From Our New York Correspondent)
New York.-The detailed reports for
the months Of March and April of the
Palestine Zionist Executive, which ad.
ministers the funds Of the Keren
HayesOd, has just been made public at
the headquarters of the American
Keren IIayesOd, by Morris ROthen-
berg, chairman Of the national board Of
directors. The report deals with the
manifold activities of the Kcren Haye-
sod in Palestine principally in the
spheres Of agricultural colonization,
immigration, labor. and education. A
special commission, it is reported, is
now at work planning new agricultural
settlements to be established by the
Keren Haycsod and added to the net
work Of fOrty-threc such settlements
which the Kercn Haycsod already sup

The commission, it is announced,
consists Of representative Of the Col

the National Fund, representative Of
the Government Health Department, n
town planning architect and a repre-.
sentative Of the farmers who visited
the areas recently bought by the Jew

are now being worked out.
The report gives numerous details Of
the progress made in improving the

trees Of all sorts, by Introducing mod

London-Thc history OF Palestine In
the past five years completely dispels
the legend that the jew is incapable

was the statement of the Earl OF Bal.
four In an address he delivered Monday
evening before a group Of members OF
Parliament In the committee room Of
the House Of Commons on Palestine.
with special reference TO his recent
visit there.
Apart from Zionist ideal!sm and Sir
Herbert SamueIs performance the past
five years are one Of the most astonish-
ing aud satisfactory series of events
on which we as n great empire have
to congratulate ourselves. Palestine
now Is more than paying its own way.
New industries have been established.
great public works and all this did not
cost the British taxpayer one penny.
In urban industry nothing is more i'm
pressive than Tel Aviv.
Nothing Of what now can be seen
in Palestine could have been dreamed
Of were 1t not for ZiOnism and for
the work Of the Zionist enthusiasts.
most Of whom will never set eyes on
Zion. Their sentiment, their money and
their industry made these solid econ
omlc and Industrial triumphs possible.
Palestine has already repaid for the
tritiing cost laid on the British tax
payer at the beginning by its demand
for British goods" Lord Balfour de-
Clared.
ut is useless TO try to fit such
achievement into the ordinary modes
Of political thought There is no par
allel anywhere to the enthusiasm and
sacrifices Of the Jews in Palestine"
Dealing with the Arab Jewish re-
latiCns in Palestine Lord Balfour
asked: WAS ZiOnism anti-Arabic? ?
Has the new system injured the Arabs
in any way? Has the attempt to found
a Jewish national home in Palestine
done any injury to the Arabs? Why
should not both races live together?
Il am convinced that if outsiders.
well intentiOned or i'll, would leave the
jew and the Arab to settle their affairs
under the aegis of impartial British
administration, there will be no diff.
Guilty. In agriculture by which the
Arab lives, what effect can the estab-
lishment of Jewish villages with their
scientific methods have but to stim,
ulate Arabs to raise their own rather
primitive standards?
There can be no better demonstra-
ton of what the real situation is than
the fact that. while the French in
Syria maintain 2j,OOO to 10000 troops,
we maintain in Palestine one cavalry
regiment, which the Jews are anxious
to get rid Of because Of the cost.
"Order is kept, admirably kept, by
native levieS, in which Arab and Jew
serve side by side without distinction.
on terms of absolute equality without
the smallest trouble ever arising" Lord
Balfour concluded

Furtcr development took place, with
the assistance Of loans by the Keren

carry out large building contracts,
some Of the recent ones including the

Besides the activities mentioned the

who came in under the auspices of the
Palestine Zionist Executive. During
April the number Of new arrivals Is
estimated at $500. At the request of
the executive, the government granted
a total of 5000 certificates for the com
