Palestine a8 a na- tenal home for the Jewish people, and use thelr best endeavors to facilitate the uchievemenx of this object.” When, however, the matter came up. before the _— e Conference for adjudication Syrians and Arabs set up an ‘insistent claim for possession of the original homeland of the Jewish people. Great. Bri- be i championship of the Jewish se they warmly rapenines and as a x hast resort pleaded the right of self-determination. rhe however, should become a guaranteed state. In other words, that it should become the homeland of the Jewish people. The recent statement of Lord Curzon is, therefore, important, showing as. it does that the British Government is insistent on the terms of the Peace Conference being carried to a suc- cessful issue. The territory embraced by this Jewish homeland is 140 miles long and from 70 to 100-miles in width and is practically an isolated oasis, but relatively smal, as Palestine is characterized by a wide range of climate, being sub-tropical at the lower Jordan and sub-alpine at the upper part of the famous river. [ts principal interest, of course, lies In its religious associations, an interest which is alike shared in by Chris- tians and Mohammedans as well as by Jews. The-exports of the country are about $3, = 000 and fhe im- ports $4,060,00 gorestanechy three thousand years have elapsed ce the Jews, by yid’s capture of Jerusalem, came into full possession of Pales- tine, while about 1,850 years have passed since, with the destruction of the capital by the Romans, the Jew- ish nation ceased to exist as a poli- ical entity. According to a statement made; dublte “during dire—frat—year—vf-the war, the Jew is prepared, to colonize the land, to develop it, Bnd to make life there healthy and prosperous on a scale which no other nation is ltke- ly to attempt.” It does not follow, however, that for at least a tong time to come, Palestine will become, in the true sense of the term, politically inde- pendent. In fact, there are few, if any, Jews advocating it. Palestine, in all its history, has seldom been able to stand alone, and now, with its need of large capital expendi- tures, to say nothing of the divergent races which occupy it, its need of an over-ruling power, such as that cf Great Britain, is an absolute neces- sity. Eighty-six years ago Palestine was ceded to Egypt by the Turkish Government, but seven years later the British Government compelled its restoration to the Sublime Porte. Had this intervention not taken place it is possible that Great Britain's cam- paign in Palestine during the recent war would not have been a necessity. Neither might that in Mesopotamia. A recent estimate places the num- ber of Jews in the world at 14,500,- 000. _In Canada there were at the ast census 74,564, compared~ with 16,401 ten years before. e Wireless Works Best by Night, As a result of certain observations made during the solar eclipse of May 29 last, further evidence is forth- coming with regard to the pheno- mena of day and night wireless sig- nalling.
