Vatican policy towards Palestine is
decidedly uncertain. due to the con-
flicting reports from various quar-
ters. One report published promi-
nently in a Catholic press is that the
Pope contemplates issuing an encyc-
lical exhorting of Christendom to op-
pose the Zionist claims. This report
appears to be contradicted by an-
other one, obviously inspired by the
Vatican, attaching great significance
to Sir Herbert Samuel's recent audi-
ence with the Pope. From still an-
other source, it is learned that while
the Vatican objects to the second
part of the mandate, relating to the
rights and claims for the holy places,
he agrees to the first part being rati-
fied immediately, leaving the ques-
tion of the Holy places a subject for
further discussion.
Sir Herbert Samuel, it is under-

Nechomeh had one or two had weeks,

flour left, so Nechomeh could not hake

which is just ready to eat by dinner-

onions. and turnips. There was no
need to heat the oven, for they had
nothing to hake or cook. But all the
same, Nechomeh gathered wood, and
made preparations, and lit the fire in
the stove. "Who will know,' she said
proudly, "when they see the smoke
streaming from the chimney, that we
aren't baking the finest Challahs in
town?"
For the three weeks following, Ne-

who was a great gossip and busy-body

she saw her. She made excuses to

she could, so that she might find out

pledges are reported to have been
made by American Jews for the re-

unpaid. The assumption is that every
Jew who has made a pledge to l'ales-

realize that at the present moment,
following the victories for the Jew-
ish cause in the United States Con-
gress and in the British Commons,
the entire world is watching his peo-
ple to see if they will prove as great
as is the hour. And the hour is one
of redemption. Zangwill some time
