The committee will study sugges-
tiOns for the Republican platform
for the fall campaign. It's report
will be submitted to the platform
committee named by the Republican
State Convention.
Responsive Platform
Senator Chandler expressed the
hope that the work of the commit
tee will assist the party in molding
a platform that will be responsive
to the sentiments Of the party as a
whole.
'If the convention adopts a plat
form in line with the suggestions
of the committee, it would seem that
the party will have a platform meet
ing with the approval Of the entire
Republican Party, and not one writ
ten by one or two persons the eve1
ming before the convention"
Senator Chandler said that even
if public hearings are necessary on
various issues, he feels that they
should be threshed out thoroughly
and the views of the majority of the
people should be contained in the
platform.
No announcement was made as TO
when the committee will hold its
first meeting.

Britain, with relatively few Jews in
the empire, has found herself in a Pc
culiar position.
The British government has taken no
sides in the Jewish question, but at the
same time there is an army of more than
10000 British soldiers in Palestine trying
to restore order in the conflict between
Jews and Arabs-and far more Arabs than
Jews are being killed
Various suggestions have been made
that British colonies and dominions open
their gates to Jewish refugees.
But Britain herself lets in only Jews
with money or position and the colonies
and dominions do as she does.
Palestine Final Hope.
South American countries with slight
Jewish populations have not provided many
homes for foreign Jews. Several countries
asked for agricultural workers, but there
was complaint from Jews that they
would have to be absorbed into the nation
giving them asylum.
That leaves turbulent Palestine as
final hope.
The Balfour declaration of November 2,
1917, promised the establishment in Pales-
tine of national home for the Jewish
people,
