To my mind the best that can be said about Palestine
is to repeat the words of Dr. Stephen S. Wise that "Pales-
tine is not a Jewish Question—it is the Jewish Answer."
When the big business men have reached the. point
where they feel safe in investing $500,000 in the Rotten-
berg Electrification Project in Palestine, as did Mr. Baron,
of London, or where they contribute a like sum towards
the Hebrew University Fund, as did the late Mr. Rosen-
bloom of Pittsburgh. I believe it is reasonable to consider
these as unmistakable signs that Palestine has longyeached
beyond the embryo stage and is now well on the road to
the permanent and prosperous Eretz Israel for which we
have prayed and suffered theSe many centuries. More
than :30,000 immigrants entered Palestine last year. It is
true that sonic 3,000 were unemployed during the late
1925 and early 1926, but it should be borne in mind that
this number has been greatly reduced though immigration
has continued at nearly the same pace. Even 3.000 is but
a small fraction of the 150,000 Jews now calling Palestine
their home and reports from the most reliable sources
convince me that even this small percentage of unemployed
would have been avoided if more capital had been avail-
able for building purposes either through greater con-
tributions to the United Palestine Appeal or a larger sale
of Palestine investment securities.
The future of Palestine is very bright and full of hope
for our people. All Detroit visitors in Palestine praise the
achievements there in the most glowing terms.
With the exception of the United States, where im-
migration is restricted to almost nothing, Palestine is the
only place in the world where the Jews can take refuge
and feel secure. In my opinion no contribution and no in-
vestment will render so much and such permanent aid and
relief to our people as a contribution to and an investment
in Palestine.
Our campaign for 1927 will be ,for $7,500,000, of
which Detroit's quota will be, at least, $150,000.

Reductions in Long Distance Rates

to Points Outside Michigan
To points outside Michigan that are 150 miles or more distant, Long Distance
rates will be reduced substantially-the greater the distance, the greater the re-
duction. For example, from Detroit to St. Louis the basic station-to-station
rate will be $2.30 instead of $3.00; to Denver, $5.25 instead of $7.40; to San

Francisco. $9.30 instead of $13.45; to New York,$2.40 instead of $3.15.

Rates for distances between 24 and 110 miles will be adjusted, in many cases, to
make the schedule consistent throughout, but in these cases any increase of the
basic s tation-to-station (Anyone) rate will be only five cents.

Reversed Charges on Station-to-Station
(Anyone) Calls

Heretofore the reversal of charges has been available only on person-to-person
(Particular Person) calls. As a further convenience to the public., this privilege
will be extenoed to station-to-station (Anyone) calls where the rate is 25 cents
or more, both to points outside of Michigan and between points within the state.

Longer Reduced Rate Period

Reduced rate hours for station-to-station (Anyone) calls, both to Michigan
points and to outside points, will begin at 760 p. m., instead of 8:30 p. m. as
formerly. Between 7:00 p. m. and 8:31) p. m., the discount will be approximately
25 per cent of the day station-to-station (Anyone) rates; from 8:30 p. m. to -4:30
a. m., the discount will be about-50 per cent of the day rates. These discounts
will apply where the day station-to-station (Anyone) rate is 40 cents or more,
with a minimum reduced rate of 35 cents. Because of the unsatisfactory service
conditions which it brought about, the midnight discount still in effect on calls
to points outside Michigan will he discontinued.

The net result of these rate changes will be a saving to the telephone users of
the United States of approximately $3,000,160 a year. The service changes are
made in the interests of public convenience, to relieve the burden now imposed
by the congestion of business at midnight and to furnish still better long
distance service.

Reduction, and adjustments in long distance rates between point! a it/un
