ZIONIST HOPES HIT ‘BY ARAB DEMANDS Control of Palestine by Jews Asserted to Be Many Years in Future. BRITISH TASK DIFFICULT Must Stand Between Hostile Ele- ments and Pacify Intense Religious Rivalries. BROWN. Star and Chicago Daily Now Palestine, June 1 When Field Marshal "Allenby drove the Turks out of Palestine he decided that the Moslem custodian of the holy sepulcher should be replaced by a Christian, This deeision was known immediately to all religious communi- ties in Jerusalem, and the fights and intrigues that ensued so disgusted Gen. Allenby that he decided to leave the custody of the holy place to the old Arab guardians. About the same thing has happened | to the Palestine state. The conflicting desires of the Arabs and Jews o run the country compelled Great Britain, as the mandatory, to take over the administration Although there are many Arab and Jewish ofic in va- rious government departments, the main_positions are filled by Britons sent from the colonial offic in Lon- don. The high commissioner repre sents the King of Great Britain ex- actly as does the viceroy in India He is all-powerful within the state of Palestine. Its laws are made by the high commissioner's proclamations. British Taxk Difficult. It is true that an attempt wa by the high commissioner to have the various races elect a parliamgnt, but the Arabs, who form an overwhelm- ing majority of the population (550,- 000 out of 750, inhabitants), re- fused to vote r reason was thit the parliament ivities would be subject_to the high commissioner's veto. Moreover, th Arabs were to have twelve representatives, while the rest of twenty-five we: to be Jews and Christians and officials ap- Pointed by the commissione A few weeks in Palestine make one realize that the British have no other way out, if they want to avoid an- archy and chaos in this country. All| their efforts to reconcile the Arabs and the Jews have failed. The rea- | sons for this failure are m. bul‘ two seem most important. They are, | first, the irresponsible promises made to the Arabs by British generals dur- ing the war in order to gain their co- operation against the Turks, and, second, the exorbitant demands of th Zionists in nd America, who | took the laration about | providi Jews ith a home in a promise to restore the € in a country where the | a mere minority | Arabs’ Help Sought.

The Arab language begen to be banishod from | the law courts and the governors who, until the war, on nomina represented the sultan and were isfled when they could obtain “with- out bloodshed the taxes required b Constantinople, tarted a mare ef fective control over the Arabs. The British approachéd the most in- fluential Arab chief, the Emir Hus- sein of Mecen. Although the -actual promises made were never published, it is undoubted true that the British did offer Hussein the crown of the kingdom of Arabla, which was to have comprised Svria, Mesopotamia and the Hedjaz. It is prabable also that the British made vague promises in regard to Palestine all these promises were BY CONSTANTINE Correspondence of T s made Balfour d. | 1ze | overwhelming made by British agents having suffi- cient powers from their home gov- ernment to induce Hussein to believe in them, but they did not have any actual authority from the British parliament. Factor in Campalgn. Hussein, after the usual bargain- ing, joined the allies and was pro- claimed King of the Hedjaz, the only part of Arabia not under the control of the Turco-German forces. Arab tribes bothered the Turks consider- ably and were of no insignificant as- ance to the allies in their cam- paign in the east. In the meanfime, however. the British had to give in to the French claim to control Syria, where the French -had sentimental attachments since the time of the crusaders. Later, in 1917, Balfour made in the British parliament his famous declaration promising a home to the Jews h of the allies’ victory. This decrar has been interpreted by the militant Zionist as a pledge of the allles to re- sh a Jewish state in Palestine. Arabs, who hitherto had lived with the Palestine Jews in perfect harmony, began to look upon the Jewish immigrants as their enemies. They feared that, under the protec- tion of British bayonets, they would be deprived of their lands and eventual- Iy would be sent away from the country that has been their home for so ma s. Arabs Charge Bad Faith. These f emed quite legiti- mate since Zionists all over the world were advocating such a policy. Some of the Arab leaders, wakened to the danger, began to denounce the Brit- ish as traders who did not keep a pledge to make an Arab state that would reunite all the various sec- tions of Arabia under the scepter of Hussein. Several massacures of Jews fol- lowed and the British intervened, killing quite a number of Arabs. But in the meantime they began to real- that the ility of establishing wish state in Pales- tine long there was such an Arab population. At ion of British officials the more reasonable Jews, formerly ar- dent partisans of Zionism, gave up the idea of a Jewish state and de- clared themselves tisfied with merely a home for the Jews. hose who still speak of a Jew- ish state are idealists who do not realize the actual situation in this untry,” one prominent Jew told me. or the time being and for many years to come there can be no ques- tion of restoring the old Hebrew state. All we can hope for is to be able to supply sufficient land in Palestine to a certain number of Jews. to allow them to settle down and make a decent living. Of course, for the purpose of gathering money from various Jewish communities in Europe and America we had to back the time. Tt failed. however. completely.
