position of influence Jews have in America and the re-
spect accorded them and this, too, without impairing
the vital spirit and content of Judaism.
The college at Cincinnati has trained and inspired
the men who are in the pulpits of the modern temples.
These men have contributed no inconsiderable share
to those phases of American life which make for im-
proving the quality of mankind, while at the same time
they have deepened and quickened the spirit of their
own congregants, making them more certain of their
Judaism and more dignified in their expression of it.

Palestine.

Abraham Cohan, editor of the So-
cialist Forward, now visiting Pales-
tine, cables to his paper daily his im-
pressions of the Holy Land. In his
cable of Oct. 14 he tells of the opin-
ions and attitudes of the High Corn-
missioner of Palestine, Lord Plumer,
and Governor Storrs, whom he met at
Tel Aviv.
The high commissioner told the so-
cialist editor that he was very favor-
ably impressed, upon visiting the var-
ious factories of Tel Aviv, by the
cleanliness and sanitary conditions
under which the workmen there did
their work, as also by the enterprise
of the people of Tel Aviv. "This and
other things were a source of hope
that the country would be built up.
That is all that is wanted," he said
significantly, "let the country prosper
and develop and every element will
be pleased," said the high commis-
sioner.
Mr. Cahan also believes that Gov-
ernor Stores has no anti-Semitic in-
clinations, as some feared. "In an-
swering my questions, Governor
Storrs made some remarks which
tended to confirm my opinion as to
his attitude toward the Jews. I don't
think there is anything in the rumors
that he is anti-Semitically inclined. In
his talk with me he showed that he
was aware of these rumors and re-
sented them keenly. lie said some-
thing about some of the people at-
tacking their best friends, as if they
were their enemies. He also spoke
of the importance of developing the
country, of making it flourish, of
creating employment for everybody,
and there was a word in his answer
which seemed to imply that a gov-
ernor in Palestine cannot afford to
be one-sided and must be fair to all
the people living in the country; that
he is trying to do his duty to every-
body, and that this is misrepresent-
ed."
The Day calls the report of the
Palestine government to the Man-
date Commission "a report of praise."
Referring to the words in the report
which pay tribute to the great use-
fulness of the Jews in the industrial
and agricultural upbuilding of the
Holy Land, the Day says: "The Jews
will be more pleased by these words
than they were last year by the re-
port of this same Mandate Commis-
sion, which then stamped the Jewish
immigrants as undesirable in Pales-
tine and not adapted to the conditions
of that country. However, no one
will be overenthused over these
words, for they are immediately fol-
lowed by others, which tell us that all
the Palestine Government intends to
do to make Palestine a Jewish na-
tional home is but 'to improve local
conditions in Palestine with a view
to securing equal rights and oppor-
tunities to all classes and parts of the
population, as well as to encourage
their enterprises.' "
