on earth, and does one find good
will towards men?
Instead, one reads something like
this in the daily paper-"Japan in

Perhaps if the real spirit of
peace were entered into, these
headlines would not read as they
do.
What greater birthday gift could
the world bestow upon the Christ
Child than that of friendship to-
ward nations, toward neighbors,
and toward relatives?
Selfishness prevailed on that me-
morable day, nineteen hundred and
thirty-eight years ago. Would not
Christmas have greater mean
ing if everyone gave, not of ma
terial gifts, but of spiritual good
will?
From the war-infested areas of
other nations we hear not of
Christmas, nor of peace, nor of
good will toward men, but instead
we hear such phrases as There is
no God" or worldly power is

Department shall be organized
for the protection of the per-
sons, properties, and liberties
of Seattle citizens, irrespec-
tive of race or social status.
The basic question is larger
than whether vice flourished.
1t is whether the Police De-
partment should be dominated
by a clique which disregards
open violations of the law, and
which uses its position and
power in political sense;
that is it determines what
classes of citizens shall enjoy
what rights. 1t injects itself
into races for political office,
attempting to secure officials
who can be relied upon not to
upset the apple cart. Its in
fluence is felt in every part of
our city life.
Mayor Langlie cannot affort
any further delay. Reorganization
of the Department must proceed
Immediately. 1t can only be start
ed under Mr.. Langlie's charter a.
mendment by the filing of charges
against Chief Sears.
II have publicly invited Mr.
Langlie to initiate action before
the Council, and I pledge every
cooperation for this necessary
work."

Jewish immigration, together with
that Of land sales to the Jews, is the
core Of the problem.
The Zionists want national Jew
ish state. They fight any program
which would bar the way to growth
Of a Jewish majority in at least part
Of Palestine.
Want Permanent Majority.
Arabs with whom l have discussed
the county system are convinced their
people would accept it. including local
autonomy for the jewish majority
and Arab majority counties if and
only if they were assured of suit
able permanent Arab majority in
Palestine as whole and in the CEN
trail government body of delegates un-
der British guidance" They would
also, as now. demand regulations pre-
venting continued whiting down Of
Arab land holdings through Jewish
purchases.
They would. they declared, be ex-
tremely vigilant on the score OF sim
migration, despite any verbal or writ
ten assurances, and would suspect
that "deferring" of the question would
be followed sooner or later by new
drive for Jewish majority.
Sooner or later, in short, the British
must squarely face the key question
Are they or are they not going to
force Jewish state on the Arabs in
either part or all of Palestine? Many
believe that the sooner they face it
the better for all concerned.
Question of Holy Places. %.
Another central question would re-
main under a county system: That of
Christian, Jewish and Arab holy
places. Presumably the British would
propose special control on their part,
as an international trustee, over GER
tain at least of these holy places, in
cluding Jerusalem. Bethlehem and
Nazareth as particularly sacred to
Christianity. Under partition as pro-
posed by the 1887 royal commission
all these points and certain others of
strategic Importance, notably Haifa, or
with Arab and Jewish interests espe-
cially mixed, would be kept under di-
rect British mandatory control; Jerus-
alem and Bethlehem would be in the
British-mandated corridor from Jerus-
alem to the sea-

would have large degree of local

choosing. Representatives would be

practicable future Great Britain, with
the necessary military power. would

circumstances can expect the Arabs
and Jews to govern themselves in

Must Be Imposed.
"Nor would this solution be reached
by Arab and Jewish agreement. 1t
would have to be imposed. But be-
lleve that Great Britain could impose
it with less difficulty than any other
plan. British troops, when reinforced,
and the police, I am convinced, can
re-establish order This would be
temporary unless the period of en-
forced peace were used for introduc-
ton OF a system which. whatever it's
original reception, would stand the
best chance Of winning reasonable
consent 1t should be tried as quickly
as possible"
What provision would be made re-
garding Jewish immigration and the
proportion of Jewish to Arab popula-
tion?" asked.
MY belief is that the question Of
proportions should be left open for
the present" the champion of the
county system replied. For the pres
ent Jews should be admitted to the
Jewish counties only-and only when
and if those counties were in a posi-
tion economically to absorb them"
As a matter of fact the question Of
