A BUSY COUNTRY.
VISITOR'S OPINION OF PALESTINE. (PEE9S ASSOCIATION TW,E3aUS.) WELLINGTON, May 15. "Under the British mandate, Palestine has made remarkable progress during the last few years, and it is now a very busy country," said Mr A. G. Neill, a Dunedin barrister, on his return from a six months' holiday trip to Palestine, Egypt, Greece, Italy, and France. "Great Britain has certainly excelled herself in Palestine," he said. "The country was the most prosperous we saw, and the people are contented and happy with no signs of friction between Moslems and Jews. Excellent diplomacy has been shown in the administration, and valuable work has been done in the development of.industry. "Italy and Greece," said Mr Neill, "are like armed camps. There are soldiers everywhere. What it is all leading to I do not know, but there is an air of militarism right through both countries. When in Italy one is left with no doubts as to Mussolini's power. There can be no denying that he has done a tremendous amount of good. The attitude of France appears to be leave us alone.' The sentiment there is largely pacifist."
