LONDON, July 20-:-The' growth of the/ opposition within the Zionist movement, as seen from the results of the just concluded Zionist Congress, ought to be a salutary warning to the British government, the Manchester Guardian declared today in a lengthy review of tiie results of the Congress and the appointment of General Ar-. thur Grenfell Wauchope ias High Commissioner of Palestine.
.This appo.intmen:t the Guardian in,-terprets as "an almost complete change in the higher persohniel of the Palestine government." Harry Luke transferred to Malta. The Liberal organ points out that while the results of this change remain to be seen ''it is to be hoped that Wauchope will make clear to the Palestine administration its duties towards the Jewish National Home instead of the present tendency of many Palestine officials who favor keeping things as they are, having little in common witxi the unique Zionist experiment and believing that the general trend of British policy is gradually to drop the idea of the Jewish National Home."

lim to prove that race antipathy is mplanted by nature an-sl not the ef-iect of social causes which are active in every closed social group, no matter whether it is racially heterogeneous homogeneous," he said. "If racial antipathy "were based on innate human traits this would be expressed in in-ten-acial sexual aversion."
Prof. Boas also took occasion to repeat a view he has often expressed, that "there is no reason to believe that one race is by nature so much more intelligent, endowed with great will-power or emotionally more stable than others that the difference would materially influence its culture.

Letters Ig the Editor
(Continued from Page Two)
But our "Active Citizen" in his endeavour to achieve the very same mud-slinging which he accuses the Icor of practising, goes further then this. Our citizen maintains that at a recent public meeting, Gina Madam— a membzer of the Icor—attacked the Zionist idea, as well as others in a most shameful and disgraceful manner. However, if our citizen was a^-tually present at the meeting, and awake, and in full control of his senses, he would have realized that Gina Madam's attack on Zionism was provoked by a similar attack on the Icor by o local Zionist.
If the local partisans had not interfered with Gina Madam's lecture, and stimulated by their own intrusion and lack of foresight, the controversy that ultimately followed, the lecturer would not have spoken in the manner in which she did.
Our humble advice to our "Active Citizen" is then to make himself cognisant of all the facts, to actually attend meetings whach he so freely discusses, and if he does that might move hjm to voice his grievances through the press under a non de plume, the significance of which he may not be capable of comprehending.
We wish to state that the "leor" will not enter into any further discussion with the writer of the letter who has not the courage to sign his name to his mis-statements.,

NEW YORK, July 4—A dark, bearded scholar, his teeth white land strong, his eyes flashing and wearing a tight-fitting white garb with sleevless black cloak held together by a splendid silver buckle, has just brought a rom» antic story of his lost tribe to this continent. , '
Taamarat Emmanuel is a Jew. He is director of a school at Addis Ababa, living in Abyssinia and is a member of a race, the Falashes forgotten by the world until Professor Joseph Halevy of the Sorbonne, Paris, visited Abyssinia in 1867. He is a direct descendant of the men of Israel. His ancestors feught against the hordes of the Phil-, istines and went south to. oblivion when their brethren were led to the Promised Land.
He is a member of a tribe of Jews who, until their contact with Professor Halevy, believed they were the sole representatives df the Jewish race and lived their lives, observing the Mosaic tenents of their people, but unaware other Jews inhabited the rest of the world.
Taamarat Emmanuel is the first of his race ever to visit the New World. He has been educated through a period of years in European schools,'and speaks a number of languages fluently and expressively.
He explained on arriving that there are nearly 70,000 of his race today. They have been patriotic subjects of the Abyssinians. They have fought against the Christians, and have resisted the attempts of missionaries to convert them to religions differing frohi their own.
FOR THE
DEFENCE
Why does the B. C. Electric advertise? The answer is that, like other public utilities, it is always on the defensive against attacks of politicians and others. The B. C. Electric hais no other object but to let thie truth be known so that the public may have full understanding of a business in which it is vitally interested.
