But the timing was too perfect,

Resolution condemning the re-

Why The Protests Now?
make bold to say that these
protests are actually the voice of
the British Colonial Office. With
denunciation of the White Paper
mounting, its policy, in one way
or another, must be sustained and
justified. Arabian protests against
Jewish immigration into Pales-
tine would appear to be an excel
lent weapon to stem the tide of
opposition. The Arabs issued no
protest in 1917 when the Balfour
Declaration was issued, nor was
protest forthcoming when fifty
/ two nations ratified the Palestine
Mandate which incorporated the
Balfour Declaration. Our State
Department was not deluged with
notes of protest when in 1922
Congress passed a resolution, SIM
liar to the present Wright-Comp-
ton bill, favoring the establish
ment in Palestine of a national
homeland for the Jewish people.
I recall no protest, when in 1924
the United States and Great
Britain entered into a treaty in
which it was agreed that no one
shall be excluded from Palestine
on the ground of race or religion.
Nor do I remember any Arabian
outburst when the State Depart
ment protested to Great Britain
that there had been a violation of
the Anglo-American treaty in the
partition of Palestine, through
cutting off Transjordan.
These protests should be view
ed against the background of the
events of recent years.
Reward For Treachery

Beneath the official protests of
Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Egypt
against Congressional statements
in favor of the settlement of Jews
in Palestine, is easily discernible
the last desperate maneuvering of
the collected forces determined to
crush Palestine as national
homeland for the Jewish people.
The gun-running trials in Pal
estine had failed in their obvious
purpose to discredit the Jewish
Agency. Also the plan for a
Federation of Arab States had
collapsed, as was to be expected.
Embedded in the talk of an
Arab Federation is always found
the hollow exposition that little
Palestine is the stumbling block
in the path of unity.
A belief in the mirage that was
and is a Pan-Arabian Union had
long been assiduously fostered
and nurtured and offered as a

palatable dish to the Arabs by the
British Colonial Office, which had
all the while been aware of the
impossibility Of its realization. 1t
was but another manifestation of
the British Colonial policy of OBJ
securing the issue, under the pre-
tense of sympathy, in order to
continue British control. No en-
couragement for such a union
would have been given by Great
Britain had she for moment be-
lieved that it could come to pass.
Lawrence of Arabia'S words are
not unknown to the erudite Brit
ish Colonial Office. He said:
'The Anticipating peoples are
as diverse as the English-speak-
ing and equally distinct. From
Morocco to Mesopotania is as far,
spiritually, as from San Francisco
to Aberdeen. Further, there is a
world between the bedouin of
Azrak, and the peasant of AM
man, though the journey is only
fifty miles. Only a criminal would
wish to make them all alike.
When people talk of Arab confed-
erations or empires, they talk
Enthusiastically. 1t will be gener-
atoms, I opportunities the vital
tempo of the East is much accel-
Grated before any two Arab
states join voluntarily.

Arab empire at present is Ibn
Saud's. It is a Pigment built on
sand. Nothing static will arise
in the desert, which has seen
hundreds Of such tyrannies as
this, all cemented with blood. It
will pass"
Foreign Censorship of Congress
But the intrigue continues.
The United States bestirs itself
to speak congressionally in favor
of the establishment in Palestine
of a National Homeland for the
Jews. Through diplomatic chan
nels, protests are made by Arab
states against this activity of
Congress. Those who protest
know that it is contrary to good
diplomatic procedure. What non
sense is this, for officers of a
foreign Government to tell the
members of Congress what to say
and what not to say? Since when
can they play censor of the utter
ances of the Congress of the
United States? No official of the
United States Government can

January Is Is New
Date For IA Taxes

Joseph D. Nunan, Jr., Commiss-
Toner of Internal Revenue, today re-
minded Individual income taxpay-
ers that Congress has changed from
December Is, 1914, to January Is,
1945, the final date for filing Declar-
ations of Estimated Income Tax,
either original (as in the case of
farmers), or amended, and paying
of installments of estimated tax for
the calendar year 1914
Among the taxpayers affected by
this change in dates are: farmers
who exercised their right to defer
filing declarations last April Is;
others who have already filed 1914
declarations but desire to change
their estimates by filing amended
declarations; all persons who owe
the final installment of 1914 estimat-
ed tax.
If taxpayer who would other
wise be required to file an original
or amended Declaration of Estimat-
ed Tax by January Is, 1915, files his
annual income tax return for 1914
Con Form 1040) and pays all tax
due by January Is, his return will
serve as both a return and declara-
ton and he need not file the 1914
declaration.
Also, if a taxpayer files his final
1914 return Con Form 1040) and
pays the tax due on it by January
Is, he need not pay the final install
ment which, otherwise would be due
on his estimated tax.
A bill from the Collector for the
final installment of 1914 estimated
tax may be ignored by a taxpayer
who files his annual return Con
Form 1040) and pays the tax on it
by January Is.
These changes will enable tax
payer, if he desires to do so, to
wind up all of his 1914 income tax
obligations by January Is, but it
does not affect the filing of his 1915
declaration which will be due March
Is. Also, taxpayers who do not
! file their final 1914 returns by Jan
uary Is must do so by March Is.

Blind CT Says, Show Me
Where to Shoot and Dies

AITAPE, NEW GUINEA. - Just
before he died Pvt. George Klym of
Gorham, N. D.-blind and comatose
American soldier-pulled on the
sleeve of battalion hospital corps
man and said: Don't move me.
Just show me where to shoot.
With that the world of war slipped
from him and it made no difference
that his eyes had lost the light Of
life. The corpsman covered his
face and went on to the next case.
Not 80 minutes before, Klym,
standing midnight watch in fox
hole outpost, fought off a Japanese
"banzai charge" with an automatic
rifle singlehanded until the rest of
his outfit was aroused by the din
and joined him to repulse the suicide
attack.
In the dark all the Japanese could
see was the blazing muzzle of
Klym's gun and so they fired and
charged at it. He took their fire,
stood his ground and pumped
bullets into the charging enemy.
They shot out both his eyes and
still he stood and fired. He was
still firing when he went down. And
he wanted to fire some more just
before death interviewed at the bat
talon hospital.

Knocked Out but
Keeps on Flying
Hit by Jap Bullet, He Flies
Almost 800 Miles.

COLUMBUS, OHIO.-The strange
story of a navy dive bomber pilot
who-either Through God or by in
stinct" flew his plane almost 300
miles after being knocked uncon-
scious by a Japanese bullet was dis
closed in an official navy memo to
local Curtiss- Wright officials.
The pilot, Lieut.. Comdr. John D.
Bitch of Charleston, S. c., 30-year-
old commander of a Curtiss He'll
diver squadron based on an aircraft
carrier in the Pacific, was attacked
by six Zeroes after his formation
sank or damaged seven vessels of an
enemy convoy. A few minutes later,
the bomber formation broke off the
action and headed back to the car
rier. The formation had covered
about 280 miles of the distance when
Blitch's plane suddenly nosed down
and crashed into the sea.
Bitch, who later was picked up
after drifting more than 40 hours
in a small rubber raft, said he knew
nothing of what had happened from
the time he was hit by the Japanese
bullet until he was revived by wa
ter splashing into his cockpit as the
plane began to sink.

probably both-that brought Johnny
Bitch back from the grave" OBJ

Keeping Spirit
OF Christmas
HENRY VAN DYKE
From "The Spirit of Christmas

It is good thing to observe
Christmas day. The mere marking
of times and seasons, when men
agree to stop work and make merry
together, is wise and wholesome
custom. 1t helps one to feel the SUI
premacy of the common life over the
Individual life. 1t reminds man
to set his own little watch, now and
then, by the great clock of humanity
which runs on sun time.
But there is a better thing than
the observance of Christmas day,
and that is, keeping Christmas.
Are you willing to forget what
you have done for other people, and
to remember what other people have
done for you; to ignore what the
world owes you, and to think what
you owe the world; to put your rights
in the background, and your duties
in the middle distance, and your
chances to do little more than your
duty in the foreground; to see that
your fellowmen are just as real as
you are, and to try to look behind
their faces to their hearts, hungry
for joy; to own that probably the
only good reason for your existence
is not what you are going to get out
of life, but what you are going to
give to life; to close your book OF
complaints against the management
of the universe, and look around you
for a place where you can sow a
few seeds of happiness-are you will
ing to do these things even for a
day? Then you can keep Christmas.
Are you willing to stoop down and
consider the needs and the desires OF
little children; to remember the
weakness and loneliness of people
who are growing old; to stop asking
how much your friends love you,
and ask yourself whether you love
them enough; to bear in mind the
things that other people have to
bear in their hearts; to try to I'M
derstand what those who live in the
same house with you really want,
without waiting for them to tell you;
W u Iii yum 1ctIliP 81 Iliab II VIII
give more light and less smoke, and
to carry it in front so that your
shadow will fall behind you; to make
a grave for your ugly thoughts and
a garden for your kindly feelings,
with the gate open-are you willing
to do these things even for a day?
Then you can keep Christmas.
Are you willing to believe that
love is the strongest thing in the
world-stronger than hate, stronger
than evil, stronger than death-and
that the blessed life which began in
Bethlehem 1900 years ago is the inn
age and brightness of the Eternal
Love? Then you can keep Christ
mas.
And if you keep it for day, why
not always?
But you can never keep it alone.
