BY HERBERT SAMUEL
JERUSALEM. — (J. T. A.) — Re-
plying to a memorandum submitted
by the Christian and Moslem mem-
bers of the Haifa Chamber of Com-
merce demanding that Hebrew shall
not be recognized as an official lan-
guage, pending the ratification of the
Mandate for Palestine, Sir Herbert
Samuel, High Commissioner for Pal-
estine, stated that the League of Na-
tions had asked Great Britain, as the
mandatory for Palestine, to proceed
along the provisions laid down in the
mandate, and that in accordance with
those provisions Hebrew is an official
language, side by side with Arabic
and English.

The annual collection for the Jew-
ish National Fund on the occasion of
Flag Day, held last Sunday, proved
a tremendous success. Close to $600
was collected by the leas than 100
volunteers.
More than half of the sum was
gotten by volunteers from the Zeirei
Zion organization. The Young Ju-
daea volunteers collected more than
$200 of the sum and the balance was
callected by the members of the In-

Rachel Subar was the highest in-
dividual collector. She is a member
of the Zeirei Zion.
Plans are now being completed for
the formation of a strong committee
