Editor's Note: The author is well known as the incumbent of the
Chair of International Relations at the Hebrew University
of Jerusalem. For a number of years he was Attorney General
of the Palestine Government. Since the outbreak of the war his
services have been retained by the British Government in its
Ministry of Economic Welfare.

It was a year since I had been
in Eretz Israel. I could only be
here two weeks, but in that time
I could note striking changes
and development. One of the
wonderful things about Pales-
tine is that, whether in peace or
in war in times of unrest or of
tranquillity, things are always
moving. The most significant
change since last year was the
fredom of movement. Then one
needed a permit to go to any
place; there were barriers on
every road; patrols stopped the
car every few miles. This time
I moved about Palestine with the
same fredom as in those happy
years of the last decade. Above
