SPIRITUAL; I N T E N S I T Y OBTAINS EVERYWHERE "A': new word of power," a "nevr type of thought ' and feeling," a "new channel ' along ' which, the stream of human hope and pity and reverence may flow," may again come from Palestine, is the view of. Graham Wallas, the celebrated British economist and publicist, which he sets forth in a remarkable article entitled "Palestinian Pioneers," in a recent issue of the London Nation and Athenaeum. Mr. Wallas describes these pioneers as he saw them at work on the buildings of the Hebrew University on Mount Scopus, looking "like a group of students" ih their "youthfulness and confident will power." He describes them at their athletic games,. but he stopped long to -observe them in their most significant task, in the agricultural ' settlements of the Valley' of Esdraelon. He was impressed with their uniqueness and great spiritual promise. ••••

Mr. Wallas goes on to point 'out the results already apparent of the impact between* Palestine • and western scientific > methods and standards which these pioneers have brought—a. marked improvement', in the health and agriculture of the land. MORRIS MILDER Describing the work of the AgriThe new merger will continue to cultural Institute, he saj-s: "Every have the name of the U. S.

And if the colonists succeed in growing three tons ' of produce where their Arab neighbors grew only one, the influence of that fact will spread more irresistably than a new form of government or art." But what interests him even more than the improvement of agriculture and health are the "deeper and more subtle results" which he sees likely to issue from the great adventure of these pioneers. Mr. Wallas speculates on the political chances . to which, the Palestinian experiment is subject, but like one of the chalusdin whom he quotes, he too has faith in British doggedness—die englische Geduld. "In Palestine," he says, "the things of the mind and the spirit have a tang of reality which those who leave it tell me they miss in London or Paris or New York." He concludes with the hope that these Palestinians mil "work conscientiously in the dear Palestinian air toward a message which can be preached ta the whole world."
