By the Way
By David Schwartz
Hello, Nineteen ThlrtyFoor
We are entering a new secular year, and I believe, under fairly promising conditions. Despite all oj the problems which beset humanity today, it seems to me that there is,a silver lining to the clouds. And even if the problems them¬ selves are no nearer solution, in the re¬ peal of the I8th amendment we have at least one means to drink away dull care. There's  a Silver Lining
ll i
i^o people today is so enveloped in
ijk clouds as the Jew, and yet it seems lo me in one way the situation of the Jew is the most promising that it has been in 2,000 years.
X continue to sec a- silver lining in Palestine. I believe that despite all diffi¬ culties there, we will get through, and bring about the most radical change in the Jewish problem since the dispersion of Jewry.
Dr. Bernstein on Palestine I have just been talking to Dr. Bern¬ stein, chief of the Palestine Bureau of the Zionist Organization,  who has just returned from Palestine.
The doctor, though a devoted Zionist, doesn't blink at difficulties. He sees all the black spots.
And Dr. Bernstein has returned con vinced that Palestine is a going affair, that it cannot he stopped.
Germans In Jernsalem There is a tremendous housing shortag< in Palestine, the doctor declares.     And there is altogether too much land specu¬ lation.
Yet building is going on, and Palestine is leaping forward. In Jerusalem, the German Jewish refugees are creating new cities. Beautiful homes are 'being built. A water system is being introduced.
Jerusalem is a picturesque city. It sits 00 ceven hills. And on these hills have walked heretofore 'Yemenite Jews, old Jews who came to worship and die, de¬ vout Christians who came to worship— a motley, picturesque gathering, but after the eye for the" picturesque is sated—a somewhat depressing spectacle.
But Jerusalem that sits on the hills is being transformed by young Jewish blood, and it is beginning tQ pulse with that life and beauty which must have flowed ui it when David reigned.    -
Jews Saving Arabs Dr. Bernstein does not underestimate the Arab problem. But a modus Vivendi will be found—an agreement will be ' reached, he holds. For the Jews, says Dr. Bernstein, are saving the Arab from extinction.
In Iraq, in Syria, in Trans-Jordania, the Arabs haye beeii rapidly decreasing. They have been decreasing by starvation, and by the lessened fertility which hungei' , lii'ings. Only in Palestine, where the Jews dwell, have the Arabs been increasing. If Immigration Stopped Were the Jewish immigration slopped, the doctor states, the Arabs would suf¬ fer, and England would have in Pales¬ tine, an elephant on its hands— a country that would soon be running in the red, instead of being one of the few provinces over which it holds sway, which has' a surplus in the treasury.
The High Commissioner, says Dr. Bernstein, is friendly to the Jew. Make no mistake about it Only he wants to go slow, but we Jews of course, have a terrible problem in the acute state of the Jews of the world, and want to go fast.
50,000 a Year Possible Palestine is capable of absorbing, says Dr. Bernstein, 50,000 Jews yearly.
The government at the present rate, will not allow such an immigration, but assuming that 30,000 enter a year. At that rate—and here 1 am not tiuoting Dr. Bernstein—Palestine in five years will have a Jewish population of S0O,00O, as¬ suming for the normal rate of Increase of the existing population. In other words, in live years, there is (Cvntimed <m page t)
