School, was reported at sea level and
from a balloon. A somewhat modi.
fed form of apparatus was used, in
which the records were made on a
Photographic film instead of by the
eye, as in Miller's apparatus.
AS it is necessary to turn the ap.
paratus while the experiment is in
progress so that it successfully points
in different directions, this was accom-.
plished by providing the balloon with
two small, electrically operated pro-
pellers, turning the entire balloon
about two or three times a minute.
The illumination Of the apparatus.
which must be furnished by light of
a single color. was obtained from the
blue radiation of a mercury vapor
lamp.
From rnea surementS of the photo.
graphic records it was found that
there was an apparent ether drift OF
about 41s miles a. second. However.
as the thermostat controls of the APP
paratus. intended to keep 1t at con.
slant temperature, were designed to
work with the thermometer below
freezing, and since Unexpectedly
higher temperatures were found the
night Of the ascent, the results may
be in error by an amount as great DIS
the value found. However, 1t was
stated, they show that the value of
the ether drift does not increase the

The peaceful rebuilding of a. Jew
ish homeland in Palestine represents
a unique attempt to solve a great
problem by the method of peace and
industry. rather than by force of
arms. Approved by every signatory
to the League of Nations and by tine
United States, it has today the status
of international law. The clauses of
the agreement, framed after long de-
liberation. concede to the Jews the
right to build a national home in Pal
estine and guarantee. to the Arab peo-
pie full protection of their civic, po-
litical and religious rights.
Three Arab states have been rec
ogniZed: The Hedjaz, Transjorda
and Mesopotamia. Palestine does not
represent one-twentieth of the area
recognized as Arab. And even in
Palestine, the land which has been
made eternally Jewish by the people
which produced the Bible, the Arabs
are treated with the tenderest regard
to their rights, and even to their sus-
capabilities. And it is remarkable
enough that, while critics concentrate
their attention on Palestine and hold
dangerous feature in the Near East
ern situation, the country itself is,
perhaps, the only peaceful and pro-
gressive spot in the entire region.
There is no Zionism In Syria, there
is no Zionism in Egypt-yet these
countries have bristled with bayonets
for the last four or five years. In
Palestine, during the same period.
the British garrison has been gradu-
ally reduced until today the sole force
maintained there consists of ESQ Brit

DR.. Miller's experiments were said
to indicate a drift of the ether which
is supposed to pervade all space and
in which light travels. This drift was
presumably due to the motion of the
earth In it's orbit through the ether,
and that the experiments indicated
that while an almost negligible result
had been obtained when they were

high top of Mount Wilson there was
an appreciable drift. This veriation

the Einstein theory.

The criticism of the policy of pro-

a considerable extent this need gave

officially. with the present effect or
influence of the tariff on certain i'm
portant agricultural products. The
institute also has in preparation for
the press at present other importa mt
books submitting facts which | feel
sure will assist in developing sound
public opinion on this very controver-
sial question.
We should certainly be extremely
cautious in attempting any further
legislation bearing upon the tariff.
subsidies, the immigration laws and
other regulations Of our commercial
relations at home and abroad until
we have more reliable facts upon
which to develop a sound national
policy.
Question of Imports.
Not the least important phase of
the problem is how to adjust our for.
eign relations so as to enable us to
import sufficient commodities and
services to satisfy our needs and de-
sires and liquidate the debts due us
as creditor nation. This, of course
involves our exporting commodities
services and gold, or credits. in
amounts equal to our imports.
AS our tariff is professedly made
only to eQualiZe our cost of produc.
ton with the production cost of low
wage countries, it follows logically
that as a higher wage develops in
other countries our tariff barrier will
automatically disappear.
In conclusion, I can only repeat that
is it my earnest conviction that the
changed relation between capital and
labor in this country represents an ad-
vance in civilization which Is destined
to have its influence upon the balance
Of the world, and that it should be con.
sidered as the keystone to the regula-
ton Of our commercial relations both
at home and abroad.

aries and proselytiZers. Our program
is one of work. In seven years we
have brought 100000 Jews into the
country. We have founded so new
agricultural colonies; we have built
new cities, opened scores of new in.
dustries and introduced the methods
Of the progressive West into a land
languishing in ignorance and neglect.
The more we have succeeded, the
friendlier have become our relations
with the Arabs. Six years ago, when
our work was INFESTED and our mo-
tives and our methods unknown, Arab
fear reached it's highest point. That
fear was exploited by politicians, most
of them non-Palestiniaf, with the in.
terest of neither the Jews nor the
Arabs at heart. Since then not a
single riot has taken place.
The critics OF the Zionist movement
are challenged to produce from the
records of the high commissioner of
Palestine, or from those Of the Man
dates Commission of the League of
Nations, a single instance of oppres-
sion or injustice. Not one Arab has
had to leave Palestine because Of
Jewish immigration. With modern

ton. The Jews have paid to a will
ing seller for every inch of land which
they cultivate. Their enterprises
have brought to the Arabs direct
profits in the way of income, and
indirect profits in the way of object
lessons. And all evidence points to
an increase of cooperation between
the two peoples.
The peaceful rebuilding of Pales.
tine has implications which stretch
out far beyond Palestine. Granted
the success of the experiment, there
can be created In the Near East new
relationship between the Christian,
the Moslem and the Jewish worlds.
Individual institutions devoted to
world peace should watch the expert
