,o; ; ' ' ' London, May 11,1922.
; An 'irnportant agreement .has been fwche/cl/between the British Govern-
; jnerit -|irid the United' States In regard ic> .the, Palestine Mandate. For some has been correspondence ri.;the governments of the two on this subject. Excepting
'"for,k< (ew;points of-detail, the terms of the British Mandate for Palestine have .beeri ^approved by the American Gov-
'.ernrnetit. As soon-as the American xeply on the points q�detail has arrived the terma\pf the Mandate .will be ready
'.|^r submission to the meeting of the Council of the ,.League of Nations,
' ^hich is just opening in Geneva. The
;,f�lations between America and Great
.�Britain in regard to the Mandate are
,tO be embodied in a treaty which is to
,be Jormulated as ^oon as the terms have
been approved and.passed. The treaty
Ais to contain a recognition of the Mandate by America and. the recognition of American rights by Great Britain. The .agreemetit now come ,to, says "The Twines," completely removes every question at issue between Great Britain and
viHe .United States, and there is now
.nothing in dispute or argument. The
submission of the Mandate to the League
-of Nations' is purely a matter for the
British Government. "The Times" con-
� 5tin\je8, saying: "The spirit in which the
..Ignited States has mert the British Goy-�fcrhnaent hassbeen most conciliatory and dt fc.understood that the United States recognizes that the. same spirit has actuated the.British Government. Indeed, ~tbie,atmos�>here in which the negotiations /have; been conducted has been everything that could be desired."

Eighty per centi of the pafer\tr were Ruwiari or Polish; 71,7 per cent, of .'the children were; born in this country. Professor Pearson, thought that' these Russian and Polish -Jews were not of pure Hebrew stock. In conclusion,>he Urged a 25 per cent..superiority in intellectual and' physical qualities as the minimum condition/ for immigration, and whije repealing his appreciation of Jewish philosophy, music and literature, he did not find that unrestricted immigration had been an advantage to this country. .**�-'*
� Since last writing I have observed that "The Times" is reverting to its traditional and better practice in regard to the Zionist controversy. A short time back, unfortunately, this journal was excluding expressions of opinion in favor of the Zionist policy in Palestine and, on the other hand, expressing every word uttered against it. In the course of last week, however, "The Times" printed a letter from Mr. Israel Cohen on behalf of the World Zionist Organization, and later reprinted a very excellent letter from Mr. Israel Zangwill.
* * *
Mr. Zangwill writes in reference to a leading article which recently appeared in "The Times" and which sought to show that true Zionism was a purely spiritual aspiration and that Jewish nationalists had prejudiced it by making of it a political problem. Mr. Zang-will's reply was emphatic. He said: "Your sympathy with Zionism as a .purely spiritual movement that is hampered, if not degraded, by association with' a political problem will bring comfort to a large number of Zionists and anti-Zionists. But as the first English citizen to whom the late Dr. Herzl, the founder of modern Zionism, appealed for co-operation, I beg to declare emphatically that modern Zionism has been nothing if not a political movement. I declare, equally without fear of contradiction, that , what Lord Baifour and Mr. Lloyd George originally meant by their notorious manifesto was exactly what all the world waderstood�-to wit, the conversion of Palestine into a Jewish State.
"What the Jews lack is not a spiritual center, �> They are, as Mohammed called them, the People of the Book. And if, after 2,000 years of efficacy, this spiritual center can no longer hold them together, a geographical center is no spiritual substitute. The Book, in declaring that Jehdvah concealed the grave of Moses�'but no man knoweth of his sepulchre, unto this day'�was warning off his people from such pseudo-spirituality as attaches, let us say, to Medina." .
