countries. of which il is sure to become
i center Of education.
Il venture to hope. also that the
spirit of the East may receive from
this university a new life and the an
cicnt beauty Of the Fast mny hc able,
while absorbing what is hest Of modern
western civilization. to retain its own
individuality aud grace aud variety in
an age which threatens to abolish all
local color and bring all humanity to

THE administration of Palestine has
no other object than to promote the
welfare of the country rs n whole, and
views with complete impartiality the
competing claims of Jaffa and IIaifa
for the location of the port. | am
cutie convinced that il is essential, in
liw interests of the development Of Pal.
cstine. that an adequate harbor, on
modern lines, should be constructed.
THE claims of Jaffa are based upon
the fact that its trade at present is
considerably larger than that of Haifa,
nnd that the district is developing with
great rapidity. llaifa however, has
the natural advantage of n partially
protected bay. Although ii has been
said that faith can remove mountains,
not even the faith of the representa-.
tivcs of Jana in the future of their
own town. can produce a Mount Carmel
to protect their roadstcad.
"It should be remembered" the High
Commissioner stated. that Haifa has
large hintcrland in Syria and Trans
Jordania and in lraq, as well. II tho
