tasked to send as special parliamen-

usalem to survey and report on
the questions involved in the con-
troversy between the Jews and
Moslems in Palestine over the
IVestern M'all of the Temple, com-
monly known as the Wailing Wall.
A recommendation to this elect
was adopted at an all-Palestine
Jewish conference held here under
the chairmanship of Dr. Joseph
Klausner, author of "Jesus of
Nazareth" professor at the Hebrew
University in Jerusalem.
Group and party differences of
the various sections of the Jewish
population in Palestine were for-
gotten and various committees.
formed by ,lows for the protection
of their right of access ty the
Wailing Wall were represented at
the conference. Even the ultra-
Orthodox group of Jerusalem
which is at loggerheads with the
secular Zionists, joined in this ac-
tion.
An executive conunittee was
chosen and charged with the task
of issuing appells to the nations
of the world and to Jewry
throughout the world, setting forth
the danger threatening the right
of the Jews to worship before the
remnant of the Temple, a privi-
lege undisputed since the time of
the Roman emperors. A fund to
finance this action will be raised.
The committee is also to take un-
der advisement a proposal to send
a special delegation of Roe-tire
Jews to London.
The Moslem Aims.
The building operations now car-
ried on by the Moslems On and
around the Western Wall of the
Temple, for which they now have
the official permission of the Pal-
estine government, have no other
purpose but to strengthen the
darns of the Moslems to the Wall.
This statement was made by the
Grand Mufti who is also the pres-
ident of the Moslem Supreme Coun-
ell in Palestine, the body respon-
sible for much of the bitter feel-
ings aroused among Moslems and
Jews in the Wailing Wall contro-
versy. Interviewed by the torres-
pondent of the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency, the Grand Mufti asst•rted
that "the Jews have only one right
at the Wailing Wall and that is to
come there for prayer. The en-
tir• area, however, belongs to the

"You ask me to let you know my
opinion regarding the prospects of
development of the National Home
in the coming 10-15 years.
"After the Jewish manner I shall
answer with a question: What are
the prospects of the Jews in the
Diaspora in general and of the
,lows in America in particular for
the development of the National
Home in the coming years? I con
only state that we wish and re-
quire, and it is for you, the Jews
of the Diaspora, Ill give the an-
swer, what can be realized, and
what not.
"We, the Jews who live here,
have long, comm to the clear under-
standing that Erez Israel will be
built only by the Jewish people it-
self. We must not indulge in
vain hopes that the inundatory
government will build all the Nm-
try far us. At the most we can
expect that the government will
lighten our work-- and no more.
It is clear that in the coming I5
years it will be possible to do
great and mighty things in the up-
building of the land -if Jewry of
the whole world will stretch out
its hand and help in our great
task. But our work will be
skimpy and mean if world Jewry
neglects this great opportunity—
heaven forbid! and adopts
towards our work an attitude of
indifference and inactivity.
"What do we need? This I can
sum up in three phrases: National
land, Jewish labor, and Hebrew
culture.
"If in the course of the next 15
years we do not redeem the larger
part of the soil of Palestine, then
our whole building has no basis.
One does not build in the air. And
who knows if after the lapse of a
number of years it will he possible
at all to acquire land in Palestine,
even with great means? The basis
of every state in the world is land.
The owner of the land is also the
owner of the state.
"Similarly with Jewish labor. If
the Jews in the country will be
only capitalists and intellectuals,
men of comm•rce and industry,
middlemen and merchants, but the
common labor be done by non-
Jews, then we shall be creating in
Er•tz Israel not a .lowish state but
a new center of the Galuth. and
one poorer and smaller than ir. all
the other countries of the Dias-
pora.
"The third thing that our build-
ing, needs is Jewish culture. If we
create in Erez Israel a large Jew-
ish settlement, and the masses talk
the various languages of the coun-
tries of their origin and live the
same forms of life that they accus-
tomed tht•mselves to during the
days of their sojourn in those
countries, then this Galuth of Asia
will be in little wise different from
that of Europe or America; we
