with one vital exception. Pales-
tine was not included among the
new Independent Arab states
created after the World war.
Arabs angrily complained that the
original British promise had in
cIuded the Holy Land. Britain in
sisted it included al 1.-The Arab
countries except Palestine. That
dispute never has been settled.
| Fer 20 years it has ranked and
today is one Of the basic causes
of the present region Of blood
shed in the Holy Land.
/ The second pledge was made to
the Jews in 1917 to enlist the
svmpathies Of world Jewry for
/ the allied cause. 1t was given in
/ the famous "Balfour declaration"
in which the Jews promised .
national home in Palestine.
POPULATION RISES
RAPIDLY
For nearly 1000 years the Jews,
driven by Imperial Rome from
/ their historic homeland and PaleS-
tine. had lived in scattered colo
nies in nearly every country oil
the world. For centuries they had
been harried by relentless perse-
cution out of which had grown
/ the Zionist movement at the end
of the last century. The Zionist
dreamed of the creation of q new
| all-Jewish state in the Holy Land.
That dream seemed to have been
made a reality through the Bal
four declaration. The Jewish pop
dlation of Palestine in 1918 was
| only $1,000. Today it is more
/ than 100000.
After 20 years attempting to
reconcile the two pledges TO
Arabs and Jews the British gov
/ ernment admits this policy has
collapsed. One million Arabs and
100000 Jews live together today
in deepening hatred in country
no larger than the state Of Mary
land. The Arabs have inhabited
that country for 13 centuries. To-
dav they see themselves gradually
being driven back to disposed po-
Htically and still more econom-
| ically by the new Jewish colon
lists. They fear if Jewish mml-
GRAFTON continues at its present
rate for another 20 years the
Arabs may become 4 minority IN
their own country.
THORNY PROBLEM FOR
BRITAIN
The Jews, on the other hand,
see their hopes of a Jewish state
( in danger of crashing in face OF
Arab hostility, They fear instead
| of creating a Jewish home III
Palestine they merely will become
minority again in another for
eign land.
Today Great Britain faces the
thorny problem of reconcu'hgE
these two viewpoints. Further, 1t
has it's own vital imperial inter
ests in maintaining a foothold IN
the Holy Land for the protectlon
of the Suez Canal, the oil pipe
line from IraQ to the Medlterran-
can. and its air and set routes TO
India and Australia.
The British government admiCS
the policy of the past 20 years
has failed. It has scrapped also
the idea of partitioning Palestine
into three parts-an independent
Arab state, an independent Jew
ish state and small area remain
{ inp under British mandate. AT

The cabinet also decided that
henceforth no more foreign Jews
may establish permanent residence
in the territory mentioned. No men,
tion was made of Ethiopia.
All italian citizenshipS granted
to foreign Jews after Jan. l, 1919
were revoked.
The decree said the Fascist gov
ernment considers a person to be
Jewish if both parents were of the
Jewish race, even if he processes a
religion other than Jewish.
While various minor repreSSive
measures have been taken against
Jews in Italy. the present decree is
the most drastic step yet taken un-
der the governments new doctrine
of 'racialism".
Estimates of the number of 50.-
100000 There are probably 5000
foreign Jews living in Italy as stu

Such a strike would paralyze 142
class l railroads, virtually all of
the major lines in the nations rail-
road network. However, before the
dispute reaches a showdown, there
will be months of additional inves-
LEGATIONS and negotiations and it
is unlikely that the controversy will
reach the stage of an actual strike.
Orders for the vote were issued
last night in conferences of 1000
general chairmen, representing 18
brotherhoods in the railway labor
executives association, and repre-
sentatives of the brotherhood of

independently in the controversy.
