New Arab Revolt Seen In Palestine
San Francisco, Jan. 1, The launching of a second Arab revolt in Palestine, more serious than the one recently ended, and which may prove the vanguard of an Arabian uprising for the establishment of an Arabian Empire, is being predicted by Dr. C. C. McCown, dean of the Pacific School of Re- ligion and director of the American school of Oriental research in Palestine.
Dr. McCown has just re- turned from Palestine where he witnessed all of the recent Arab revolt. He was also an eye witness to the former

"The idea is gradually gain- ing way in many circles," de-

clares Dr. McCown that As Airmen
Palestine is only a pawn in the large game of Mediterrancan and Eastern politics that will have its complete unfoldment inter on.
"At present the eyes of 70,000,- 000 Arabs and 250,000,000 Moslems. are centred on Jerusalem which they regard as their most incred eity after Mecca. The recent revolt engaged the active sympathies and the active help of a great many of the above. In any revolt to come that sympathy and help is likely to be stronger,
PAN-ARABIC MOVEMENT
"One event, the importance of which seems to have been greatly overlooked by the press of the world, has been the launching of a Pan- Arabic movement in Iraq.
"As the situailon stands to-day, Palestine is completely surrounded by an Arable empire that is only walf- ing its time to fight for its place in the sun."
Dr. McCown, while pruising both the British administration of their mandate over Palestine and the efforts of the Jews to establish a Jewish National home there, declares that the opposition of the Arats which is steadily tending towards more, and open revolt and violence, is based on their conviction that ther existence depends upon it.
For the moment, the Arabs are demanding the cessation of Jewish emigration to Palestine and the sale of further inand to the Jews. Dr. McCown says. The Arabs insist that Palestine is too small and poor to provide a home for themselves who constitute a population of 800,000 and for any con siderable portion of the 15,000,000 Jews in the world.
The land, they insist, is entirely too small and unable to permit of Any agricultural development that would support a larger population than already exists there and is cqually unadapted for any industrial- ization that would solve the situation.
"The Arabs also frankly admit," Dr. McCown states, "that they are unable to compete with the western. civilization that is being imposed on them. They admit the superiority of the Jews in all branches of trade, In- dustry and commerce, but which con- stitutes for them only another reaso/1 why Jewish emigration should be stopped or limited and that they should be allowed to develop the country on the basis of their own civilization and their own standards of living. For them a form of 20 neres is sumclent,, but the influx of any sill Jarger number of Jews would deprive them even of that. As It is, all of the best land in Palestine is passing steadily into the hands of the Jewish immigrants, leaving the Arabs who constitute the great bulk of the population without means of support."
Dr. McCown states that the Arabs are also supporting their claim for the right to remain in Palestine on historical grounds. They insist that Palestine has been for them more of a home for a greater length of time than it has for the Jews. The latter they declared ruled over Jerusalem for a period of only five or six cen- turies while the Ambs have had their home there for 1,200 years and the Moslems have ruled it for that entire period except for a century of Christian rule during the Crusades.
Dr. McCown in convinced that Palestine is likely to be the focal point of an Arab rebellion which may. eventually develop into the ever- growing tendency of the Arabs to set up an independent empire-Unitest Press.

Singapore, Jan. 15.
A CEREMONY unique in the
history of the Royal Air 'Force was carried out at Seletar yesterday, when two Pilot Officers of the S.S. Volunteer Air Forco received their "wings" from the Officer Com- manding the R.A.F., Far East; Air Commodore A. W. Tedder.
The two Volunteers were Pilot Offers E. C. Whiteley and J.A. Allen, They are the first airman outside the Royal Air Force to become fully- fledged pilots, qualided to fly fighting machines as an Army co-operation unit.
Six months of rigorous training had to be gone through before tha "wings" were Issued.
JOINED LAST MAY
Both pilots Joined the S.S.V.A.F.in May last year, shortly after the in- ception of the unit and their success- ful completion of the course in so short a time reflects the efficiency of the Empire's first Volunteer Air Force.
Training was carried out in Avro Tutor and Duel Hart machines, after which the pilots graduated to the Audax fighter planes with which the Volunteer Squadron is being equipp ed
The necessary qualifications include 40 hours of solo and duel flying, with at least 20 hours solo flying in a Ser- vice type machine.
The pitois must be able to dy a Service type plane reliably and accurately, and land consistently with tall down at low speeds.
They must have flown to a height of 15,000 ft. and remained at that height for at least half an hour.
They must be able to perform aero- batles appropriate to a Service type machine, must have successfully com- pleted a bind-flying course, and must be able to fly in cloud and Tough weather and be able to execute "forced landings" selected as a test.
In addition to these and other prac leal tests Pilot Officers Allen and Whiteley have gone through a com- phchension course of air pilotage, theory of flight and rigging, airman- ship, ale navigation, and administrá- tion law.
PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE
Both pilot Officer Whiteley and Pilot Officer Allen had considerable flying experience with the Royal Singapore Flying Club before joining the S.S.V.AF.
About a dozen other Flying Club members are also going through the course, and it is hoped that more "wings" will be granted in the near future, enabling a full squadron or Audax fighters to co-operate with the Royal Air Force and take part in combined exercises.
The S.S.V.A.F. is operating under the Instruction of Squadron Leader C. II. Finn R.AF., Squadron-Leader D. S. E. Vines who was recently
