Rabbi Moses Gaster, writing in the Standard, urges that the work of founding Palestine as a Jewish state should follow the primitive example of those who established colonies in olden times, despite hardships, trials, and fears. The present schemes of development in Palestine mean the establishning almost normally. tent of a British colony for the Jewish people, where the saltes shall work and be subject. He urges that the future of Palestine must be decided and defined, and that there must be no exploitation of philanthropy,

'WAR GRAVES.

LONDON, May 4.

The House of Commons, on the imperjal war graves commissions vote, discussed whether to adopt the commission's proposal favouring uniformity in headstones and cemeteries in France or whether relatives should be permitted to follow their own designs. The House generally supported Mr. Asquith, who advocated the former without distinction between officers and men. Mr. Churchill said the commission was considering the erection of a memorial in a cemetery nearest the scene of the fighting whereon names of missing would be inscribed, or a regimental memorial similar in purpose. It was estimated that the carrying out of the commission's scheme would take ten years, whereas independent beadstones could not be completed in the present generation. The commission anticipated that their headstones would last hundreds of years.

However, the railway strike was a failure. The General Labour Confedera tion has sent strike orders to seamen, dockers and miners. So far as the miners concerned, the puslook looks bright, workers having just received satisfac- tion as regards their latest demand

The altitude of the seamen and dockera appears to be more doubtful. Crews of three steamers went ashore at Marseilles and the departure of a liner From France for New York was cancelled.

Regarding the railway strike, the Minis try of Public Forty states that the situa tion is excellent and the strike is cum- plately a wash-out." The services were still better yesterday than the day before. and very little difficulty was experienced by passengers.

THE IRISH ENIGMA.

LONDON, May 4th. The Morning Lost's Dublin correspondent declares that the British Government in Ireland has been defeated sad all bat deposed by Sinn Fein, owing to the im potence of the Irish Executive. The facts of the situation are withheld from the British people.

Deep feelings aroused throughout the country were expressed in Par liament through the decision not to permit individual memorials. In many eloquent speeches it was maantioned that there were 4,000 of these came teries and it would take ten years before the work of erecting uniform pat Itern tombstones could be completed. The support of the House for this was largely won by a powerful speech by Burdett Coutts, who urged that they should leave among the relatives no sense of differentiation of treatment of the dead. He said the poor people were too generóis to begrudge ndividual memorials but the House ought to act for the nation in mourning so that the woman in the tentment should not be left any grievance, however unexpressed. Her man had made the & eatest sacrifice and died the same death for the same cause, so why should he not have the same beautiful monument? Finally Coutts won the House by urging the wishes of dead officers, who would not have had any difference imposed. That was a golemin mandate to the country. He read a letter from Kipling, saying the Kiplings had no grave to go to as their boy was missing at Loos, where the battered ground gave not the slighest trace.

IMPERIAL MATTERS.

LONDON, May 4.

Mr. Bonar Law stated in Parliament that there has been no development of the Imperial cabinet organisation since the decision announced in 1918 with regard to dominion prime ministers communicating directly with the premier of the United Kingdom, and the dominions being entitled to represent tation at meetings of the cabinet in London. The whole matter would be discussed at the imperial conference which was proposed to be held in 1921 to consider inter-imperial constitutional relationships. In accordance with a resolution at the last imperial conference, communications were main tained with the dominions and important papers of imperial concern were forwarded weekly for the information of the dominion prime-ministers." The reason why there was to cabinet organisation in England continuously considering imperial matters was that the dominion ministers thought it not suitable.

PRICES AT HOME.

LONDON, May 4. The Chairman of the trade conference at Bournemouth foreshadowed cheaper food coming, including a reduction of butter to six pence, lard to four pence, tinned beef to five pence, and tinned fruits to nine pence, Meanwhile housewives have not yet discovered any dropping tendency. General prices, especially of drapery and other materials, are advancing weekly.

FRENCH STRIKES,

PARIS, May 4.

A significant feature of the strike is that for the first time we have had a strong anti-strike movement. The union of discharged soldiers of the eastern railway, issued a manifesto, condemning the strike, which was not aimed at trade advantages but was purely political. The government con- tinues to arrest the principal agitators.

GERMAN SHIPPING.

LONDON, May 4

The journal vouches for the trust- worthiness of the correspondent and the authenticity of the information.

LONDON, May 3rd. "It is understood that recent conferences between Ministers on the government of Ireland have led to the conclusion that no change in the methods of administration is at present possible, and while the Government is anxious that the discussion on its Home Rule Bill be carried on is an atmosphere of conciliation and good will, there can be no relaxation of the life and property. efforts of the Irish Covernment to protect

Mr. Lloyd George, on return from San Remo, approved the steps taken by his colleagues. French will remain in office.
