NEW YORK (WNS).—Declar-
ing that in the midst of the gen-
eral decadence in the Near East
there is hope in Palestine, Dr.
Walter C. Lowdermilk, assistant
chief of the Soil Conservation
Service of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture, asserted that
"Pa'estine may yet become the
leaven that will transform the
surrounding lands of the Middle
East so that 20 tO 30 million
people may live decent and pros-
perous lives where a few million
now struggle for a bare exist-
ence."
Speaking before 400 industrial-
ists, engineers and scientists at
the fifth annual dinner of the
American Society for the Ad-
vancement of the Hebrew Insti-
tute of Technology in Haifa, Dr.
Lowdermilk scored the British
White Paper policy which cur-
tailed Jewinh immigration into
Palestine.
The Hebrew Institute, which
was founded in 1912, includes an
engineering college, a technical
high school for training of fore-
men and skilled workers, exten-
sion courses offering vocational
training to immigrant refugees,
special mechanical training for
agricultural settlers and a nau-
tical school—with a total enroll-
ment of 1,000 students. The In-
stitute is open to all, regardless
of race or creed—an opportunity
of which Palestine Arabs have
availed themselves.
