IN PALESTINE.
"Jewish immlgratlon has unquestionably conferred great bene:its on the Arabs of Palestine, but it has also given an immense ( sLimulus to Arab anti-Jewish feeling. External factors have encouraged and influenced the growth of an Arab nationalism which has undoubtedly come to stay.' The Arabs lose districts which have been theirs for many centuries; but they gain sovereignty in the relatively large area that remains. They are united to their kinsfolk across the Jordan; they are no longer debarred from contact with other Arab States; they are freed from their fcar of being swamped by Jewish immigation and of losing their Holy Places to the newcomers ; in short, from 'second-class' Arabs they attain equality with the other free Arab nations whom they have Cnvied for so many years. The Jews do not gain Jerusalem, a city which can never be monopolised by the followers of any one faith; but for the first time since the Temple went down in flames before the legions of Titus they win sovereignty and freedom in their own land under their own flag, and will have unlimited freedom to immigrate into their own State." — The Times.
