The Nations greatest mari
time strike was in full force on
all coasts today, tying the great
ports in knots and immobilizing,
according to the two striking
AFL unions, 1884 ships of vary
ing sizes.
Members of the Seafarers Inter-
national Union and affiliated Sailors
Union of the Pacific threw an early
morning picket line around New
York's waterfront, prelude to simi-
lar action at other ports, making the
ship stoppage total.
1t was indicated that nearly a
half million maSitime workers would
be idle since CIO unions and other
AFL groups have promised to OBJ
serve the sailors picket lines. An
estimated 10000 AFL members are
directly involved in the dispute.
Protest Wage Ruling.
The Government was strictly on
the spot in the dispute and some ac-
tion to attempt to end the strike,
was expected here today. The sailors
walked of ships at Atlantic, Gulf
and Pacific ports yeserday in pro-
test of Wage Stabiliza ton Board
ruling reducing newly won wage in
creases of $3.50 to s27. so monthly
to the S1750 raise received last June
by the Clio sailors. the National

Just what the Government would
do was not clear. The Sterilization
Board refused to approve the wage
agreement worked out by shir

grounds that it was over the limit

PaleStine'S Future

Prince. he shall confirm the covenant with
many for one week; and in the midst of
the week he shall cause the sacrifice and
the oblation to cease"
And history inform us that the Messiah
did appear at the end of 433 years; and
that three and a half years thereafter he
put a stop to the sacrifice, decreeing that
the temple was to go forever. And Israel
has been nearly nineteen hundred years
without temple or priesthood. When the
leaders of that generation resolved to con,
tinue the sacrifices, Titus had to come all
the way from Rome to fulfil the prophecy.
Mind you, in destroying Jerusalem, Titus
gave orders not to touch the temple; but
a minor soldier innocently put the torch to
"The noblest edifice under the SUM- and
it consumed the temple and licked the dust
round about it's foundation. And so Gods
order was carried out literally. is to re-
turn to Palestine! but neither to restore
the State nor the temple.
AS to the kind of government most sui
table for Palestine, it should be of the spi-
trit of Democracy as it is in England and
the United States. Howbeit, let us remem,

tered under every star, with their blood
being mingled with the bloods of all races,
thus impairing their claim of descent from
Abraham-what nave they to do with the
land of promise? Their prospective adop'
ton of Christianity is the only ground for
Christian sympathy st. Paul says: "Hath
God cast away his peopleY God forbid j..
All Israel shall be saved" Rome IL :1-25'
&c. This fact denied all other claims will
go with it, for Palestine happens to have
inhabitants of it's own.
Messiah Already Here
If they expect a new Messiah from a.
mong them, Daniel puts an end to their
expectation 60 :24-27) They nave been for
about 1880 years without priesthood, tenn
pie, or sacrifices, and without state, gov
eminent, flag, or country. 1t is time they
become an integral part of united huma'
nifty.
Mutual Understanding Needed
To admit the Jews without the consent
of the natives would be a big blunder, nay,
even exposure to determination by attri>
ton. (Gen. 1912 and FL :21, and Neh. C.:
1-9). Mutual understanding between them
and the natives is apparently the only So
luton, both being of good semitic stock
with abrahamic lineage that has given to
history it's indispensable chapters. The
Jews have been the vehicle of divine re.
ligion and highest ethics. The Arabs were
the chief momoters of arts and sciences
throughout the Dark Ages presaging the
Renaissance and the Reformation. AS first
cousins they should be able to live in peace
in the land of the Prince of Peace. The
British are right in ~surrendering their man
date to a government of trusteeship, kee-
ping politics out, and helping providence
to solve this vexed problem; for God alone
is able to do it. His will be done!

From The Protestant Voice

from ne TTOteStdnt voice
The question of Palestine seems to be UNI
solvable simply because our statesmen do
not seem to care what God says about it,
All we read is generally: Balfour and his
promise-the English government the
white paper-the league of nations-the
Arabs and the Zionists-the u. S.. A., etc.;
as though God had nothing to do with it,
word of the final decision. Hence, what
follows-straight from his shoulder.
The problem on the Jewish side is, for
the most part, biblical; THEREFORE it should
be biblically treated. l am neihter with the
Jews nor with the moslems, but with the
truth. AS a Christian, I sympathize with
the Jews; but as a Syrian, l sympathize
with the Arabs. However, l am opposed to
the Zionists.
Jesus to return
The Jews are predestined to return to
the Land of Promise. Approve or disap-
prove, it is necessity from which there is
no escape. 1t appears that, in Gods pro-
violence, the first world wal was a prelude
to Balfour's declaration which was confir'
med and accelerated by the second world
war. But the Jews have not returned to
Palestine in order to organize a Jewish
state or build again the temple of Solomon
and restore the sacrificial law
To those who ask, why not organize a
Jewish state, l would say: Because the Zlo-
nists are resolved to restore the kindgom
of Israel with a son of David on the throne,
to occupy it, as prophecy says, for ever, re-
ferring undoubtedly to 2 Sam. 7:16 "and
thine house and thy kingdom..thy throne
shall be established forever"
Prophecy Fulfilled
But God has fulfilled this prophecy al
ready-in His way. Go back to Gen. 49 10,
where Israel himself prophesies on his
death bed saying "The sceptre shall not
depart from Judah. until Shiloh Cor, he
whose it is-Messiah) come; and unto hin
shall the obedience of the peoples be-"
A Zionist told me: "We know of no des'
cendent of David in our days" And said,
if David is gone, his throne remains, with
an invisible "Son of David" in it, In full
Ifiment of Daniels prophecy (2;44 and z:
10, 14)) "In God of heaven set up a king
dom which shall never be destroyed.'I saw
...one like the son of man. and there was
given him..a kingdom, that all people,.
should serve him: his dominion which
shall not pass away"
In other words, no Jewish state can pos
sibly be established sibly be established in
modern Palestine. "Thus saith the Lord;"
and that's decisive.
Cites Bible

of the restoration of the Temple. Dan. 9:

Or. Yardem Speaks on Palestine
Before Church Council
By Ruth Dean

An analysis of the Palestine prob
lem was presented yesterday, by DR..
Rachelle S. Yarden, executive sec
retary of the World Committee for
Palestine, before the Woman's
Council of National City Christian
Church.
Unless the Jewish people have
homeland to which they can look
for protection from persecution as
minorities, the world will not change
its present pattern nor know lasting
peace" DR.. Yarden declared.
The speaker quoted from a re-
cent statement made by DR.. Rau-
guste Turenne, president of the
Uruguayan Pro-Palestine Commit
tee, who stated he would like to
see a Jewish state for purely selfish
reasons, using as the basis for his
argument the supposition that If as
highly a cultured country as
Germany could Use minority perse-
cutions to incite its people to war,
the same thing could happen to
Uruguay or any other civilized
country.
Were the Jews to have a home
land, DR.. Yarden further quoted DR..
Turenne as saying, Jewish minori-
ties in foreign countries would have
diplomatic protection and in the
event of persecution, could be re-
moved to the homeland.
Using another argument to sup
port her view of the problem, the
speaker asserted that the Jewish
people have greater response
bility than that which has faced
any other nation in keeping alive
it's national identity through the

1000 years during which it has had
no homeland to house its customs,
tradition and culture. That is why,
she explained, the Jews are reluc-
tant to assimilate into native popu-
lations. Once homeland is
established with a large representa-
tive population, she added, the
weight of responsibility will be re-
moved and Jewish minorities in
other countries will feel freer to
mix with those countries popula-
tions.
In answer to the question of one
council member who asked If this
would not bring about divided 10y
alties, DR.. Yarden answered that
the Jewish people in this country
would be no more divided in their
loyalty than other American mi
norities to their mother countries.
IF an individual has deep-seated
loyalty to that within himself, he
can be loyal to other causes too,
Dr.. Yarden added.
In reply to another members
question, asking the reason for the
present unrest in Palestine, the
speaker stated that Palestine "foi
years the battle-swept bone of con.
tention between empires" was "the
victim of power politics" The Arabs
and Jews are in harmony with each
other, she explained, adding that
Palestine is the only country where
the Arabs have doubled their popu-
lation in the last Is years, due te
the Jewish efforts to reclaim ano
modernize the formerly poverty
stricken and disease-infested land

chairman, introduced the speaker.
