The Seventh Dominion Teague

establish branches proposes to throughout the British Eripire for the purpose of propagating its aims among the British people and the Jews of all countries. It will strive to promote the progress of Palestine as the national home of the Jewish people primarily for its benefit to Great Britain. It is pointed out that the geographical position of Palestine, lying be tween the Persian Gulf and the

Levant, makes the narrow country corridor joining Europe and Asia, and that the security of the Suez Canal is dependent chiefly upon the power controlling this gangway, a fact demonstrated dur- ing the experience of the world

war.

it is most vital to British interest, say the Dominion proponents, that this narrow strip he commanded by Great Britain, and that it es therefore in the general in- terest of civilization that the Jews tealize their ideal of a national home in Palestine, which meets, in particular, the interests of the British. Colonel Wedgwood, who sa political leader in England and a sincere friend of Zionism, Argues in favour of this move- ment to make Palestine a British state dominion that the present

of affairs is ascribable solely to the fact that Great Britain, to whom Palestine is a most desirable ac- quisition because of her own in- terests which Jewish homeland in that country would readily serve, as being only tonsiders herself

temporarily in charge of the affairs In that country. Stre has to figure, Colonel Wedgwood declares, with the fact that the mandate entrusted to her by the League of or later, ac- Nations may sooner cording to the provisions of the mandate itself, be takea from her.

For that reason Colonel Wedg- brood advocates making Palestine British dominion, thereby as haring the permanency of British Interest in that country. If this were done, he contends, Great Britain would feel impelled to lift the burden of building up the bountry, from the shoulders of the. Jews and would herself take over? the task of Palestine's rehabilita. tion by the Jewish people.

The Seventh Dominion League is how being sharply discussed in all the Important centres of the world. In Shanghai steps have been taken to support it morally at least. The Shanghai Zionist Association has forwarded the fat! lowing congratulatory letter to Col. Josiah C. Wedgwood, expres- sing faith In the League and wish ing it every success!--

by means of forces of destruction, but with, the arms of light and the weapons of righteousness. cades ago, Addison said, "There is nothing truly valuable which can be purchased without pain and labour," This truly valuable' thing is the object for which the League stands to-day ready to sarve mankind in her forward march to the Promised Land.. It is worthy of the price we shall be asked to pay, for it. "Who is a happy man ?" asked a pupil of this teacher. And the teacher answer- ed: "Happy is he who has great visions and follows them, but happier still is he who sees a por tion of the fulfilment of his visions." This is our message to you from far-off China, coupled with the hope that you and your colleagues and the world at large will live to see the realisation of even a portion of your visi

visions.

"We want to build a friendly trinity of peoples, English, Jews and Araba, who will live together in peace and without trampling upon each other's. rights; and we want to establish self-government From which shall come forth the Seventh Dominion, not merely to spread the doctrines of justice, freedom and brotherly love, which are the traditions of both our races," The foregoing sums up in a nutshell the excellent idea behind the League.
