sale of lands to Jews during the past 18
years has amounted to approximately
£10,000,000. Since the settlement of the
Jews in Palestine, numerous new Arab
companies and co-operatives have been
registered. The Arab Agricultural Bank
now has a paid-up capital ,of £95,000, and
in the past few years the capital of this
bank increased from £15,000 to £45,000.
5. The manner in which Arab towns
have benefitted by building activity in the
country is shown by the following figures:
Arab towns increased their building ac-
tivity by 252 per cent from 1924 when
£51,160 were spent on building, as corn-
pared with £128,000 in 1934. In towns
of mixed Jewish and Arab population,
Arabs inevitably benefitted by building
activity, which increased 868 per cent from
1932 when £430,560 were spent, as com-
pared with £3,740,000 in 1934.
6. The vast increase in wages and em-
ployment has been so definitely in favor
of the Arabs that this point must be
stressed. In Iraq and Egypt, the average
daily wage is 4 to 5 piastres a day for
unskilled labor, but in Palestine, the daily
wage is from 10 -to 15 piastres a day.
Skilled Arab laborers earn the same as
Jews—i. e.— 40 to 60 piastres a day. The
Jewish colonies employ a much larger
number of Arabs than they do Jews. In
February of 1935, there were 2,882 Jews
employed in the four leading orange
growing colonies as compared with 8,214
Arabs, and in August of 1935 in the same
four colonies, there were employed 1,484
Jews, as compared with 2,326 Arabs.
7. Similarly large gains,have been made
by the Arabs in education. The percen-
tage of literate people among the Pales-
tinian Moslems is 23. as compared with
20.3 in Egypt and 11.3 in Turkey.
These are just a few facts showing the
vast gains made by Arabs as a result of
Jewish settlement of Palestine. To speak,
therefore, of the Jews as expropriators
of the Moslems is to misrepresent facts
and to misstate truth. In the interest of
truth, we hope that these facts will re-
ceive the light of day as a means of re-
futing the unjust manner in which the
Jewish angle is treated in the present
Palestinian crisis.
Sympathetic editorials of the type that
appeared in the Detroit Free Press on Aug.
31 serve greatly to encourage us and to
assure us that we have not lost all our
friends, that we shall yet have the support
that comes from a true spirit of good will
and from genuine understanding of human
problems.

ACCENT OF GENEROSITY
Maurice R. Shochatt, writer of
that interesting and popular fea-
ture in the Baltimore Jewish
Times, "Monumental Sidelights,"
writes us of an unusual and pleas-
ant incident about the noted play-
wright, Samson Raphaelson. As
you need not be told, Raphaelson
is the same gentleman who is re-
sponsible for "The Jazz Singer,"
a sparkling stage and screen hit
that brought gelt and glick to
George (mama on the telephone)
Jessel and Al (mammy) Jolson.
"The Jazz Singer" was the first
talking motion picture production,
and the 10th anniversary of that
great event, which revolutionized
the film industry, is now being cel-
ebrated by Warner Bros.
To get back to Shochatt's story
told to this column, the Alliance
Players, a Jewish amateur theat-
ricalegroup of Baltimore, decided
in 1935 to climax a season of ac-
tivity with a presentation of the
The Jazz Singer." The Jewish
troupers, however, faced a problem.
A royalty fee had to be coughed
up for the prodliction—but the
treasury was as empty as a beg-
gar's cup on a rainy day. The
thespians decided to communicate
with the Jewish playwright to ob-
tain "a special dispensation from
the copyright owner." The players
wrote to three or four publishers,
the Author's Guild, the play-
wright's secretary. And finally a
letter in which the players asked
permission to stage the play sans
a royalty tax—reached Raphaelson.
The same letter—opened and read
by the author—came back a few
days later . . . Across the script
above the signature of Raphaelson
were scrawled two laconic phrases:
"Good luck to you. Shoot the
works." As a postacript to this true
story we might add that the Al-
liance Player's production of this
play was acclaimed one of the
smoothest ever staged by an ama-
teur group. This item is also of
particular interest at this time in
view of the fact that Al Jolson,
Vera Cordon and others recently
presented The Jazz Singer" on
the radio, and the report that this
picture may he filmed again.

With no relevance to what he had been
saying he suddenly exclaimed: "We (the Na-
tional Union for Social Justice) are a Christian
organization only in that we believe in the prin-
ciple of 'love thy neighbor as thyself.' With
that principle I challenge every Jew in this na-
tion to tell me that he does believe or does not
believe in it.
I thought of what the Jew Jesus might say
to him. Jesus would wipe away the mud into
which he had fallen and weep for him, His ser-
vant, and speak with gentle reproach:
"Is it for My servant to increase falsehood
in a world of lie? Is it for him to multiply
hate? Thou, My servant!
"0, My servant! Didst thou forget what I
taught thee for 2,000 years: The teaching of jus-
tice and loving-kindness, the teaching of good
will, the teaching to put away all manner of spite
and falsehood?
t"Thou, My servant!"
Jesus would have no scourging for the priest
who descended from the Mount, no more than
He had for the erring woman who was brought
to Him for judgment.
The gentle Jew would kiss his cheek: "Go
thou, My poor Charles, and sin no more."
