State Erects Statue
Of jefferson Davis

FROM the Houston Post-Gigpatch.
na S placing n ing ne statue Of Of Jsisrso
Capitol at washington, the state Of
Mississippi h not only honoring the
memory Of her greatest son, and homer
ing herself, but she b performing q
national service. When the figure of
the Cenfedefaey's ehieftAin is unveiled
next December, that Service will be
einblematic of the Graduating of the
last shred Of the seetionalism that di-
yided the country Into the North and
the South more than so years ago.
Mississippi Is to be congratulated for
having a share N encouraging q spirit
OF national unity.
The North's Judgment Of Davis has
been softening perceptibly in recent
years. AS the passions engendered by
the war and reconstruction days have
subsidized, and as newer generations have
viewed the great conflict of the sixties in
O clearer perspective, the form Of Jeffer-
son Davis has doomed higher and Of
more noble proportions. Justice to
Jefferson Davis was long delayed, but 1t
has been coming, and the placing of
his statue In the Nations Capitol along
With those Of ether great servants OF
the country Will hasten the day when
the great leader In the lost cause will
be accorded his rightfil place in the
history Of The country.
Strangely enough, the first important
act Of reconeiling the. North to Jeffer-
son Davis was begun by President Of
the United States who had in his
younger years harbored very bitter feel
ings toward the President Of the Con-
tederRey,. The Louisville Courier-Jour
nal recalls some interesting history In
connection With the. rapprochement
As the story goes, when Jefferson Davis
was Secretary Of War In the cabinet Of
Franklin Pierce, Q viaduet was begun
which was to bring water to Washing
ton. On the arch on tire structure the
names Of the builders and of the Sec
rotary Of War under whose supervision
1t was constructed were engraved. In
1852 Caleb Smith, Secretary Of the In
terror in Lincoln's cabinet, ordered the
name of Davis eliminated from the
arch, the .yiaduct having passed from
the Superyislon OF the War Department
to the Interior Department. Theodore
Roosevelt, when he became President.
In response b requests from groups Of
Southern women, had Davis name re-
stored.
And says the Courier journal: "This
Is especially interesting because Of the
sharp interchange Of letters between
Davis and Roosevelt In 1885. when
Roosevelt was only 20. The young Har-
ward graduate publicly associated the
names Of Jefferson Davis and Benedict
Arnold, and Davis wrote him to repel
the improved outrage, but with too low
an estimate OF you to expect an hon
orable retraction of your SANDER
Roosevelt replied In the third person,
declaring that he would be indeed sur
priSed to find that his views of the
character Of Mr.. Davis did not differ
radically from that apparently enter
tanned IN relation thereto by Mr.. Davis
himself! And these the matter dropped"

The Crisis in Palestine.

This week has seen the crisis in
Palestine at least temporarily surmount-
ed. The Jewish National Home is saved.
What Is perhaps Of even greater mo-
Ment in Britain itself is that the Labor
government is saved. Explanations by
Prime Minister Macdonald and a
spokesman of the colonial Office put an
entirely new light on the inept Pass
feld memorandum, which so excited
the Zionist world and international
Jewry.
While some Of the governments critics,
especially Mr.. Lloyd George and his
fellow Liberal, Sir Herbert Samuel,
once high commissioner at Jerusalem,
assailed the explanations as lame and
anconcIusive. the issue was not pressed
TO the point of vote in the House of
Commons. At one time there was dam
Ger this would be done. That Is a
throw which Labor would have risked
at It's peril. Conservatives and Liberals
alike were loud and bitter in denuncia-
ton Of the Passfield pronunciamento.

the palm Of its hand, evidently decided
the time IS not yet here for pitching
Labor into the discard. Cabinets have
fallen In London for far less important
reasons than the case which might
have been made out against the Mac
Donaldites over Palestine.

she remains loyal to the pledge to as
sist Jewry In establishing o national
home there. The world Of Israel proba-
bly, win consider that all the anxieties
generated by the Passfield episode were
worth while, because they resulted in a
solemn reaffirmation, with the world
listening In, of British intention to re-
spect the Zion ideal in letter and spirit.
More than two and half mil
lion pounds Of British govern
ment money are now to be made
available for land development In
Palestine. Jew and Arab are to share
equally in the benefits this grant in aid
is expected to produce. The proposed
immigration restrictions which gave
rise to bitter protests are to be liber-
ally enforced, with view to permitting
q fixed number and selective class Of
ZionistS to enter Palestine under favor
able conditions.
Jew and non-Jew who are aware Of
the brilliant and effective leadership
the Zionist cause has had from DR..
Chain weimann will hope that he
may now feel at liberty to rescind his
resignation as president of the World
Zionist Organization. 1t was submitted
as vehement protest against the Pass
field memorandum. For all practical
purposes that laundering statement OF
policy has been disavowed. The status
quo ante is essentially restored. lions
future seems once again unobStructed.

the American public that two thousand

War Against Gangsters.
Attorney General Mitchsll's

Attorney General Mitchell's an
nouncement yesterday Of declaration
Of war by the Federal Government
against the gangsters of big cities, es-
pecislly in Capone-ridden Chicago, is
the best piece Of news that has come
out of the Department Of Justice in
many q day. Reports from Chicago
are likewise encouraging, relating as
they do the work Of citizens, proceeding
on their own hook to I'LL q war chest
of 100000 for fighting gangster ac-
tivities.
The work Of the Federal Government
would necessarily be confined to prose-
cutions for violations of Federal laws.
Common reports of gangster operations
indicate that they have never paid par
ticular attention to the source or to
the nature Of any law. There should
be plenty Of game for Federal agents
from the Department Of Justice, the
secret service and the Bureaus Of Pro-
hibition, Narcotics, Internal Revenue
and immigration, which have been
gradually strengthened over a period of
months in the areas Of war and are
apparently to show the results Of their
preliminary work.
It is doubtful If the Federal Govern
ment could take any steps that would
bring greater public support or result
In more complete restoration Of faith
In the forces Of government than by
embarking upon D vigorous, determined
and successful campaign against gang
stef activities in the big centefs Of pop
ulation. To make the war successful
there must be local cooperation. This
seems to be taking tangible form now.
Outraged citizens, disguised with the
obvious impotence of their constituted
authorities, are beginning to take mat
tiers into their own hands. Such rev.
olutions are not born overnight, but
once underway they sweep all before
them-and never move backward. It is
high time for Nationwide revolution
against gangster and hoodIum rule.
