REPUBLIC OF JUDEA IS HOPE OF IDE JEWS OF THE WORLD BY LOWELL MELLETT j (United Press Staff Correspondent) London, May 22. (By mail) The Republic of Judea or the Republic ' of Israel, a home-ruled nation under the protectorate of the United States of Americal Site the land of their fathers, Palestine; capital, Jerusalem. The world war in the view of many, seems about to bring true the dream that has persisted through the cen turies that the Jew has wandered the earth. He is about to have his own home back again to live there or visit in security. That this security should be maintained by America is the idea of Israel Zangwill. "Such a protectorate," he said, "would be expected, of course, to en dure only so long as was necessary to see the Jewish nation firmly estab lished among the t nations of the earth." This statement to the United Press by the great leader of Jewish opinion 13 significant for its indication of a meeting point between the efforts he has led and the efforts of the Zionists, of whom Louis D. Brandeis has been the most prominent in America. The Zionists have made Palestine their sole objective. Zangwill's organiza tion has urged that it is more import ant than the Jews should colonize somewhere at the earliest possible time and that they should return to their own ancient land. Admitting the strength of the tie that binds them to Palestine, he has urged that if this is not feasible they should settle else where. He has in the past sought the British government's aid for a pro posed settlement in South Africa, Canada, or Australia. Now he agrees, Palestine itself A -jz-X'- sggrh 111 JSW 3itsm CHMoinova! ft I Zerolene, " most satisfactory motor oil" that is the testimony ot the leading lltflilii ' jjMl I automobile distributors of the Coast. lOtUuilt NllliuV.1 They know from the record of their service departmentsand we know from 8j!njj j lUlllHIltl axhsustive tests that Zerolane, correctly refined from selected California sUflulKf llfillillill asphslt-base crude, gives perfect lubrication with least carbon deposit aWGHtiM llvilwIflE Zerolent is the oil for your car whatever the make the oil for all types ol UuHliv I Ijjjjjjl automobile engines.

The eyes of thirteen million Jews, scattered throughout the world, are on General Murray's army now seeking to drive the Turks out of the country that the Jews once had. From this thirteen million, perhaps, should be excluded the six hundred thousand Jews who are fighting in the various armies; they, by fate's irony, will be last to know that the war may mean something for their race. There is a Btrong belief in England that restoration of Palestine to the Jews would be a profitable political undertaking for the British. "It is not expected," said Mr. Zangwill that all the Jews of the world would flofck there to make their homes. It is my belief that the Jewish agriculturists who find living difficult elsewhere should be aided to return and that they should form the basis of the new na tion. Jerusalem's location might make it the site for a great commercial or trading city, tout the important thing is not to draw there those who have prospered in other corners of the globe but to care for the great num bers of oppressed in other lands. "With a Jewish nation established, the Jews everywhere would feel they have a home again, whether or not circumstances permitted them to live there themselves. Zangwill won the support of Joseph Chamberlain and Wmston Churchill to his colonization scheme before the war, but South Africa, Canada and Australia opposed it in turn. A Jew ish nation in Palestine is another mat ter. The menace which Turkish posses sion of Palestine offers Egypt and the trade route to India must be removed, British statesmen agree. Even be fore the war many considered the recreation of the Jewish state the best solution. Opinion changed, however, during the war, largely because of the sympathy many Jews of German ori gin in America admitted for Germany. It was feared that a nation sympa thetic toward Germany would be a dangerous one to have so close to this strategic link'in the British empire. The 'Russian Revolution has changed this. Jewish sympathy, alienated by the treatment of the Jews in Russia under the old regime has been won back by the new regime. Jacob Schif f's declaration for the Allies, fol lowing the announcement of the Pro visional government of equal rights for the Jews in Russia, was not the only one to come to the attention of the British government. 'A jewisn state in Palestine ww would be a friendly even grateful state, it is believed. Zangwill's idea of an American pro tectorate is based on the desire that Jewish interests should be protected by a great power that had' no self in terest there to serve. Whether such a protectorate would appeal to Brit ish statesmen is doubtful. It is more likely that in case a Jewish nation is set up, Great Britain herself will gar rison the country until law and order and the stability of the new govern ment is assured. Cablegrams received by the Jewish Daily News at New York from Pet rograd have stated that Prime Min ister Ivoff and Minister of Justice Kerensky, addressing crowds on May day pledged the Russian provisional government to work for the establish ment of a Jewish state in Palestine.
