THE RGXAIi COMMISSION DEPARTS The .Royal Commission has by now left Jerusalem. It i3 credibly reported that its findings mil not be published until after the coronation in May. All but the last few sessions were, through the abstention of the Arabs, devoted to hearing Jewish evidence. That evidence was presented by a group of men from Dr. "Weizmann on, who are by character and training, by their very inner structure, incapable of consciously trying to'-make the worse appear the better reason. "We all know that such men eiist; we know, that these men of the Jewish Agency are men of that kind. With dignity, with thoroughness, with precise accuracy they presented the Jewish case on its political and economic side. Once or twice they sought to present also the all-important moral side. For that the representatives had ' no ear. ' Worse: than ixO ear. The telegraph agencies report that during one of the final days when the Arabs were giving evidence, it "was said by some witness that the Jews throughout the world loved Palestine. Whereupon Lord Peel (who seems to pride himself on a sardonic touch) is said to have said: "Too much!" Whereupon the audience roared with laugb»ter. One understands^ of course, the icy sen^e of superiority to all passion or, at least, to all show of passion which the two words of the English, gentleman were meant to convey. One doesn't, you know, do or say certain things. Well, that insular and provincial narrowness of mind and heart caused Lord Peel to make one of the most vulgar and Ill-bred remarks in history. A man is crucified; an innocent man is crucified; he groans. One of the Roman soldiers says icily: "What funny sounds he makes!" And the other soldiers laugh loud long empty laughs. Lord Peel is a Christian and an aristocrat I make him a present of the analogy.
