Rabbi Isaac Landman, of Temple
Israel, Far Rockaway, who, represent-
ing the Central Conference of Ameri-
can Rabbis, spent many months with
the regular army and the National
Guard on the border and in Mexico,
has arranged the curriculum of the
course, which is to cover in all fifty-
live hours, forty-eight for original
work and nine for review, in the two
weeks at the Central Institute. There

developed in the modern sense, and
not densely populated. Much, there-
fore, will depend upon the kind of
government that replaces the tyranny
of the Turk. The commission that
has charge of the work of restora-
tion will be confronted by two prob-
lems: First, how to get hold of the
land; and, second, how to find the
revenue to pay the enormous cost of
the reconstruction. Though
the
land be of very little value in its
present state, it is all owned by some-
body: and the mere announcement of
an intention to restore the country
will send prices skyward. It would
not comport with the Jewish sense of
justice to enrich these landowners by
defraying the cost with contributions
from wasn't.. And even if they were
willing to waive this point they would

poverty has accompanied progress.
But this obstacle is by no means in-
surmountable. The Je• has only to
appeal to the Mosaic law and his own
conscience for approval of his pur-
pose to restore the land of Palestine
to its people. By applying the proven
principles of political economy and
taxing land values the repatriated
people will have access to the land;
and they will have at the same time
ample mottle to meet the cost of
government. The into and women
who will have charge of this work
will, it is to be hoped, avoid the mis-
takes that have been made in this and
other countries, where governments
and private enterprises have made im-
provements for the public, only to
find that the owners of the land have
reaped the benefit. while a large part
of the cost has been laid upon pro-
ducers who have already been vic-
timized by land speculators. There
is no longer any doubt on the part of
informed people that government ser-
vice, whether in maintaining order or
in constructing physical improve-
ments, enhances land values and not
labor values. When, for instance, the
commission that supervises the re-
building of Palestine has constructed
railroads, opened schools, established
justice, and brought order out of
chaos, it will be found that live stock,
grains, fruits, and the various prod-
ucts of human labor will be worth no
