WASHINGTON, Aug. 18 A
man who goes where he is not
wanted will get into trouble. It
cannot be otherwise. The very act
of his going is a
threat to thoe
who prevail.
Thus his own
move generates
hostility.
This is my
comment on
Palestine, which
has been re
quested by one
of my editors. In
the face of swift
currents of news
and DroDieinHa
he finds himself confused, fearful
of a new world disorder from this
origin, and seeks wise action. I
am no expert on Palestine. There
have been too many experts on
that subject. I have avoided any
thing excepting a mild mention of
it now and then because sa many
fevers were running so high over
it, ana moving In uch conflicting
directions, th.it cool comment
seemed useless. Nothing I could
say would help.
But now Palestine has truly be
come a world, problem. It is no
longer a Jewish or British ques
tion seeking j solution, or an
American political handball.
Start considering its scooe in the
latest new facts of the condition,
namely these: ,
Ships loaded with illegal Jew
ish immigrants have filled the
harbor at Haifa. Complete details
of developments about them are
reported daily in the press, as if
the question was one of establish
ing a peaceful living sanctuary for
refugees starving from the war.
That is not the case, nor the nub
of it. The important thing to me
is tnat none of the accounts which i
I have read, told where those ships
were from. None even told where
the illegal Jewish
were from.
The unstressed basic truth of
the matter is they are largely from
Russian territory, or from Ru-,
sian controlled zones. Most are
from Poland, a Russian controlled
state, where the British say there
are 200,000 Jews eager to leave
and resettle peacefully in Pales
tine, where their hopes of surcease
from war difficulties have been
focused. About 150.000 Rumanian
Jews have asked for certificates
of passage to Palestine, the Lon
don Times diplomatic correspond
ent reports.
And he says there are 100.000
displaced Jew in Germany, Au
tria and Italy with the same ambi
tion. Other reports say ships came
from Italy or Antwerp, but I think
most were from Black sea ports.
This must be approximately
true because you know the Brit
ish are not creating trouble for
themselves by, piling up Jewish
emigres in ineir Palestine area
against their own wishes. Nor is
the United States thus working
against Britain.
For these reasons I think the
first conclusion to be reached on
the Palestine question is that of
all the reported possible Russian
pressures exerted upon the peace
conference, only the Palestine
pressure actually worked. We
have seen that Albania armed it
self on the eve of the meeting, but
no one paid much attention. Some

one must putup with everywhere.
The ideological chatter wears. him
down:
"This ostentatious love of the
immigrants j under-dog. by the way, seems to
me particularly bogus. The most
articulate of the under-dog lovers
are usually pretty well heeled, and
they sound off in places where it
costs a lot of money just to sit
around."
Walker remembers New York
when she was a -beauty. Now the
city, "like some jangle-nerved,
gin-soaked old lady friend, grows
ever more raucous, high-pitched,
garish, troublesome and generally
messy." So he is high tailing it
out of town:
"I intend to spend my days
raising white-faced cattle, red
pigs, black-faced sheep, tomatoes
and hot peppers, and chopping
wood, and my evenings rereading
the Federalist Papers, and pos
sibly Gibbon's Decline and Fall
of the Roman Empire, and turning
on the radio to the Fred Allen
program once a week."
Alas for Walker, where will he
find such an idyllic spot" The
change he notes in New York City
infects the whole country. What
the city does, the country soon im
itates in a cheaper way. The dude
ranch brings the jaded riffraff of
the el itc to the wideopen spaces;
niteclubs punctuate the country
side with neon glamour; the coun
try air Li befouled with the belch
ing exhaust of diesel trucks haul
ing hogs to market. The small
town is no more successful than

nation meeting, but these had no
noticeable effect upon the discus
sions. However, the Palestine im
migration question has really em
barrassed the British and injured
joint progress toward stabilization
and peace. Thus I think it has
largely served the purposes of ob
structionists. Now I do not mean to report
that there is n0t a Jewish under
ground of grapevine, which is
well-financed, and working to
ward the same immigration end.
All I mean to say is the immi
grants originated largely in Po
land and Rumania, which are both
Russian satellites, and no one has
obtained much, benefit from the
situation which has been created
not even the Jews, perhaps least
of all the Jewish immigrants
themselves, who have suffered se
rious personal consequences.
Primarily this was a Jewish and
British problem. The Moslems had
Palestine from the year 1244 up
to 1917 when- the British con
quered it in connection with the
last world war. Palestine was a
province in Syria, administered by
Turkey since the year 1577. In re
sponse to Jewish desires, the Brit
ish decided to make it a homeland
for Jewish people. The Balfour
declaration established Palestine
as (I quote) "a, national home for
Jewish people.? But later when
trouble arose with the Moslems,
who resented the intrusions, an
authorized British official agreed
this policy was to be tempered
with the understanding that (I
quote) "nothing shall be done
which may prejudice the civil and
religious rights; of existing non
Jewish denominations" (unquote)

This moderation had to be made
because only one-thud of the pop
ulation of Palestine is reported to
be Jewish. The population is vari
ously reported 'j somewhat above
1,500,000 and the Jewish immigra
tion had amounted to- about 500,
000 until the recent illegal stream
(which has gone on for months
past) is reported to have approxi
mated 10,000 each passing 30 days,
and threatened ito upset the old
balance. The World Almanac says
Palestine recently had 298 Jewish
schools and 297 private Moslem
schools. But in: the world as a
whole there are 220,000,000 Mos
lems, only 137,000.000 Protestants,
329.000.000 Catholics and 1,318,
