JEWISH QUESTION in PALESTINE
is RAPIDLY SETTLING ITSELF
Solution of Problem Seen Soon as Immigrants Take
to Soil-Intense Feeling ON Part of Arabs
Is Quieting and Peace Is Maintained.

/ itself has officially repudiated any
idea Of infringing any Arab rights.
Arab suspicious and alarms are
being exercised but slowly. The grad
ual Improvement in the health of the
pc pie, the building of roads. the open
ing of new economic opportunities. are
! nevertheless having their effect. Three
years ago widespread attacks upon
Jews and Arabs were feared. At that
time Syria was comparatively peace
full. But now, in spite of the war
across the frontier, nobody expects
trouble between Arabs and Jews in
Palestine.
There were about 55 900 Jews in this
country when the Turks were elected.
This number has now more than dou-
bled. The last official figures, in
March this year, give 100000 as the
Jewish population, and about $500
per month are coming in. Sir Herbert
Samuel, late high commissioner. thus
analyses the character of the present
Jewish inhabitants:
Variety of Types.
The Jews of Palestine belong to
variety of types. They vary to the
degree of their religious orthodoxy, in
the characteristics they bring from the
countries of their provenance, in their
questions.
There are rabbis and laymen to
whom the ancient religion is alone of
Importance, and in whose lives the
study of the law and ritual require
ments are the chief concern. They ac-
cept the support provided by the pious
in other lands. or. Indifferent to COM
forts, live as best they can from such
precarious resources as they may
workers, essentially modern, who have
rejected the letter, though thy often
retain the spirit of the religion; in
tellectual, they are nevertheless keen
to engage In manual work in the up
building of the country. They may be
inspired by the past, but they live ac-
lively in the present, and are moving
consciously toward a planned future.
Between these types there is every
gradation and combination of creed
and outlook.
There are in Palestine Oriental
Jews from Bokhara and Persia and
IraQ, and there are university men
and women from New York and Chi
caGo There are Jews from the
Yemen, Of small stature and with
gentle, refined features. good crafts
men in silver and ivory. or good
laborers on the farms: and there are
agricultural experts from the colleges
of France. engineers from Germany,
bankers from Holland. manufacturers
and merchants from Poland and Rus
sia. There are students and writers.
doctors and lawyers. architects and
musicians, organizers and social work
ers. from Eastern Europe and West
ern. from Asia and America. Among
all these, some are conservative in
temperament: some are eager above
all for social progress. Those who
are interested in politics have organ
lied themselves into half a dozen dis
tinct parties or sections; others are
Indifferent
Communists Are Few.
Taking a general view, il may be
said that at least one-half of the pres

Burning SEAL SHIP
| REVEALED HERO|SM
Engineers Deed and Rescue
of Survivors Furnish An
other Sea Epic.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ST. JOHNS, Newfoundland, April
l0.-The Newfoundland seal hunt has
claimed new toll in life and gear
The sealing steamer Eagle brought
to this port today the body of James
Brewin, a stoker on the steamer Seal,
and details of that vessels loss
through explosion and fire among
the ice foes off Bay de Verde. Four
injured men were among the 70 sur
vivors of the Seals crew landed here.
A tale of heorism also was told to
the hundreds who gathered at the
docks to hear of the latest disaster
to the dwindling seal fleet. AS Ed
ward Perez, chief engineer of the
Seal, was carried ashore from the
Eagle, suffering from serious burns.
men told how he risked his life to
carry BreWin from the blazing engine
room of the doomed ship after the
stoker had suffered fatal injury in an
explosion of gasoline.
Lamp Caused Blast.
The Seal, making her second trip
to the ice fields since the sealing
season opened March 5, was questing
among the foes eight miles off Bay
de Verde yesterday, the survivors
told. Brewin, about to fill an oil
lamp in the engine room, picked the
wrong can and poured out gasoline
instead of kerosene. There was an
explosion and fire spread rapidly
from the engine room to the rest of
the ship. When it reached the mag
aZine where the rifles and ammuni-
ton used by the seal hunters We're
stored, a. second and greater explosion
occurred. A great hole was blown
in the side of the steamer, and the
crew took to the ice.
Perez was burned when he seized
Brewin after the first explosion and
dragged the unconscious man to the

deck. Three other men suffered
combat the flames. The stoker was
carried off the vessel by the crew, but
died four hours later of burns ami
shock.
Spent Night on Ice.
The survivors faced without dread
the prospect of a night on the ice
foes. Their boats were well stocked
with food and water and they had
salvaged sails for use as tents.
Shelters were improvised on the ice
and the injured men were given the
best treatment available. The eH
plosion had ruined the Seals wire
less equipment, but news of the
accident was spread in another way.
On the shore in the little fishing
village of Crates Cove. men saw the

was carried by dog team to Rail
Head at Crates and forwarded by
telegraph to st. Johns.
From this place wireless instruc-
tions were sent. to- the Eagle. which

watchers on shore had seen the Seal
burn to the waters edge, heel ever
and sink.
The loss os the Seal brings the
number of vessels in active sealing
operations down to eight. the rem
nant of a once numerous fleet. Year
by year vessels have been burned in
the ice or lost in the fierce storms
of the Northern waters.

llglous are also a minority, and the
mass lie between: that the ma jority
are politically inclined and progress
sive in their views; that communists
are few, and those who may be re-
garded as revolutionary or Dol
shevist' are group negligible in
numbers, and that ee-fourths Of
this population live. at present. in the
towns and one-fourth in the agricul-
tural colonies
The Jewish problem seems to center
! AROUND the question of whether the
immigrants can be persuaded TO work
on the land. Most of them. like most
Jews everywhere, were town dwellers
before they came here 1t is too soon
to dogmatiZe on this question. The
present Indications are not too encour-
aging. but both the government and
Zionist organizations abroad are doing
their best. Out of the 5000 square
miles of cultivable laand in Palestine
Jews owned III square miles before
the war aand only own 319 square
miles now. Sir Herbert Samuel, who
is an optimist, believes that the prob
lem can be solved. He admits at the
same time that a Jewish national
home in Palestine" can never be a
reality unless Jews will take up agri-
culture on a large scale.
Arabs in No Peril.
There is here no question of dis
posse Ssing the Arabs. Not only is the
country sparsely populated, but what
Arab agriculture exists is of the most
primitive type, and the available land
for cultivation Is capable of support
ing several hundred thousand Jews
without unduly crowding the natives.
Sir Herbert Samuel admits that there
has yet been no great zeal shown by
Jewish immigrants to till the SOIL but
says:
''Among the 100000 of Jews in
Eastern Europe there are numbers
of young men and women whose most
eager desire is to get to Palestine:

their ambition. once in Palestine, is to
become producers on the soil. They
are well aware OF the history of the
Jewish people. of their present posi-
ton in the world. of the difficulties
and dangers that surround them.
They do not wish to live in ghettos
or TO devote their lives to petty trade.
Palestine makes to them a most pow
erful appeal; they wish particularly
to contribute to the productiveness of
Palestine, and above all to help to
re-create in Palestine & people of Jew
ish agriculturists.'
