THE NEW PALESTINE.
RUSSIAN JEWS ON TREK. LOAN FOR REBUILDING. LONDON. Jan. 5. Sir Alfred Mond, First Commissioner of Works in the British Cabinet, who will I leave for Palestine to-morrow, to discuss the details of the new Palestine loan with | Sir Herbert Samuel, High Commissioner, spoke in an interview in most optimistic i terms of the future of Palestine. He em- ! phasised the enormous amount of work I that is to be done in the country, which ! must be practically rebuilt. I He dwelt on the enthusiasm of the Jews | —especially those of Central Europe—for the settlement of Palestine, and said that many were actually walking from the Ukraine and reaching Palestine through Constantinople. The difficulty was to -e- ' strain would-be immigrants until the land was prepared for the new population. Sir Alfred Mond stated that he di<j not anticipate religious difficulties, as there was already a good deal of Arab and Jewish commercial co-operation, and the population would improve as the country advanced. All responsible Jewish leaders ■were anxious to secure Arab co-operation.
