Promised Arabs Independence

Promised Arabs Independence
 In 1915, anxious to have the Arabs revolt against Turkish rule and harry the Turkish army, Britt ish agents made certain promises regarding the freedom of the Arab people. It has since been said that the lands meant were Syria, Meso- potamia and Transjordania but not Palestine. The Arabs assert that Palestine was included in the prom iSe. ,fs
 In November, 1917, the British government issued the famous Bal four declaration, with the full ap- proyal of the American. govern ment. Its aim was to secure for the Allies the powerful Influence of the Jews throughout the world. La ter the French and Italian govern ments gave the declaration their approval. It said the British goy- ernment viewed with favor the es- tablishment in Palestine of a "Na- tional Home for the Jewish Peo- pie" but it went on to say that nothing should be done to preju- dice the civil and religious rights of non-Jewish communities. Later the mandate, in almost identical language, promised the same thing with the same reservations as to non-J Jewish clements. With light heart the British. took on the job, thinking to do three things:
 1--Provide national home for the Jews.
 2--Safeguard rights of the Arabs, who had lived there for centuries.
 3--Secure for the joint conmun- ity some measure of self-govern- ment. s
 Almost from the first, difficult ties arose. Prior to the war, Arab Christians, Arab sMoslems and Pa lestinian Jews lived in more or less peaceful relations. Now fear, eco- homie jealousieS, political animosi- ties began to spring up. The Jew ish Agency, set up largely by zion- ist organizations, consulted with the British officials and arranged for the number of Jewish ernigrants to be allowed into Palestine each year. Jews all over the world, rich and poor alike, gave according to their means to help the settlers who se- cured land, drained marshes, irri- gated wildernesses, planted orange and other citrus fruit trees and be- gan to make acres blossom as they had not done since the days of the Bible. Tel Aviv, an all-Jewish city the only populous one in the world--became the largest in the Holy Land with over 130,000 peo- pie. Forward looking Jews began to vision time when they would be in the majority in Palestine.
 The Arabs took alarm. They be- gan to fear that they would ultim- ately be in the minority. They claimed the zionists bought land and thus drove the poorer Arabs off the soil and that the net result was that the Arabs were worse off than they were years before. To this the Jews made reply that they only owned 8 comparatively small percentage Of the cultivatable land of Palestine: that they had brought into service land which Arabs had shamefully neglected for centuries: that the irrigation schemes they fi- nanced helped Jew and Arab alike; that their example of more scienti- fic agriculture had been initiated by the Arabs.
 HIUsIems Increase Keeps Pace
 Far from Palestine being made worse place for the Arabs, they pointed to the fact that the fig ures showed Arahs were actually

called off their strike and then England did what it had done a number of times before-it named another Royal Commission to in- vestigate the Palestine problem. The Jews asked for the right to have increased migration of their people. The Arabs practically ask ed that Palestine be given its inde- pendence as Irak was. The con- mission has not yet drafted its re- port. Then Parliament will debate 1t. There for the moment rests the fate of the tiny land which is just a bit bigger than Vermont, but which aside from it's immortal sto- ry in the Bible, must be unique on earth, because 1t has been said of 1t:
 Within the limits of province, it offers the varieties of soil and climate of continent. It is a country of mountains and plains, of desert and pleasant valleys, of lake and sea-board, of barren hills, des- olation. and of broad stretches of deep, fruitful soil"
