C. 11.)—The unex- pected and extraordinary victory scor- ed by the Minority Nationalities' tick- et in the elections to the Polish Diet has caused a movement among the de- feated parties to bring about the early dissolution of the new Sejm. There is a tendency to introduce a new election ordinance preventing the Seim from functioning. As this is dependent upon the concurrence of the Senate, it is extremely likely this plan will miscarry. Interest in the senatorial election on Sunday was by far less than that shown in the election of Deputies Sun- day a week before. The Jewish elec- tors who had turned out in such great numbers on November 5, were not nearly so keen over the senatorial elec- tions. The result is that only one Jew- ish Senator was elected, the contes- tants for this place being engineer Koerner, a town councilman, and Dr. Josiah Then. The latter will probably be declared elected. Many of the smaller Polish parties, with the lesson of the Sejni elections in mind, withdrew their candidates for senate and rushed with the more powerful parties. The smaller min- ority groups also withdrew their can- didates in favor of the Minority Na- tionalities Ticket. Dissatisfaction over the result of the Sejni elections is becoming articu- late in diversified circles. The Bund- ists of Warsaw are demanding a new election in the Warsaw district, where a majority of those elected were the candidiates on•the minorities ticket. the immigrant camps, as well as the Problems National. workmen's camps all over the •oun- Within the limits of these conditions the colonies.

The work of education goes to the heart of the Jewish purpose. Palestine can never become the Jewish homeland unless we have there a gen- eration that is educated in the national spirit, and is able to speak the nation- al language, Hebrew. The rising gen- eration is the nucleus of the new pop- ulation of Palestine, and it is one of the first requirements that we give them the right kind of education. The money spent on this purpose will, of course, bring no returns in the com- mercial sense of the word, but it will bring the highest returns in the na- tional sense. Educational System.
