FUTURE OF PALESTINE.
SIR HERBERT SAMUEL ON RECENT DEVELOPMENTS.
A masting organized by the English Zionist Federation, on behalf of the Jewish Community, to welcome Sir Herbert Samuel,"late High Commissioner for Palestine, on his return to England was held at the Kingsway Hall on Novem ber 2nd.

Mr. Philip Guedalla, the President of the Federation, who presided, said "they were met oa the eighth anniversary of Balfour Declaration. They stood at the end of the eight brightest years in Jewish history for 2,000 years. As high Commissioner Sir Herbert Samuel showed a record of almost unbroken peace and increasing prosperity. They were inaugurating another year of effort in England unit hoped to raise £25,000 towards the Palestine Foundation Fund. So far this country had only been able to put up £50,000 towards the £1,000,000 required. He read messages from Mr. L. S. Amery, Secretary for Dominion Affairs, and Mr. Lloyd

Sir Eerbert Samuel.
Mr. N. Sokolov proposed, and the Chief Rabbi seconded, a resolution recording the meeting's" deep and grateful appre- ciation of Sir Herbert Samuel's devoted and service as High Commissioner," affirming its continued determination to support by every effort the upbuilding of the Jewish National Home."
Sir Herbart Samuel, speaking of the growing development of Palestine during the past five years, said that when be left the revenue and expenditure, showed for the last financial year a surplus of over £250,000. The accumulated balance totalled over 2500,000. ane financial situation had enabled his Administration this year to reduce the tithe tax which pressed so heavily upon the cultivator. The increasing peace of the country had resulted in the cost of the garrison,, which was the only cost in respect of Palestine falling on the British tax-payer, to be re- duced in four years by four-fifths, and he had every reason to hope that a fur. ther reduction would be effected in the near future. The Jewish population in Palestine had more than doubled in five years, and was at present growing at the rate of about 30 per cent. per annum. Jewish progress in Palestine was not limited to the commercial spirit. On the intellectual aide there was intense ac- tivity displaying itself in literature, journalism, the opera, and in economic investigations. There were three main The causes contributing to that result. prudent but firm policy of the British Government had. enabled all parties to know where they stood and that fact had been an immense strength in the hands of the administration. Then vast resources had flowed into the country from outside, the Jews alone Eaving spent in Palestine since the war at least £7,000,000. The other cause which had contributed in large measure to the pro- gress so far achieved had been the policy had been adopted towards the Arab, po- pulation-a policy not of hostility and oppression, but of good will and helpful.

As to the future, there was growing strength and self-reliance visible in Pale tine British support was unlikely to be withdrawn; it must not be withdrawn. The world was watching to see what thei Jewish people would make of the Holy Land. He believed that it was probable that within no long series of years Tel- Aviv waald become, the most important industrial centre is the Middle East, while more and more of the Jewish agri- cultural colonies would become self-sup- porting. He had reason to hope that measures would be taken in the near future to carry out what he had long pressed pon, the Governments an urgent necessity-namely, the, cerstruc tion of a good barbour for Palestine.
THE NEXT PHASE.. MONKEYS TAUGHT TO DO MEN'5 WORK.
In Pattani, southern province of Biam, and in Kelantan, one of the unfederated Malay States, monkeys are trained by the natives to pick coconuts and edible seed pods for their masters, according to Mr. D. Bourke, of the Indian Forest Service, who has made an interesting observation of a new commeг. cial use of trained domestic animals..
The romantic notion-derived from literature of the Swiss Family Robinson typo-that monkeys inturally, climb coconut palms and throw down the nuts out of mischief or from desire to oblige is pure fiction. The monkeys must be caught young and carefully trained: to their jobs by attaching them to long pole on the top of which is fastened a bunch of fruit. The animals quickly learn to run up to the fruit and throw it down for their own food. Having once mastered the central, idca as it were, they can then be perfected in their pro- fession in the palm trees.
