The Protest against Sir H. Samuel To make Sir Herbert Samuel High Commissioner for Palestine is an outrage. This is the opinion of the "Spectator," based on the fact that Sir Herbert is not only a Jew but a Zionist, and that the Moslems and Christians of Palestine, who are about 15 times more numerous than the Jews, have received the appointment with something like fury. Ju connexion with this subject the "Spectator" pays a high compliment to the "Morning Post.' Some' extracts from the article are given below:
The "Morning Post," though we do not always agree with it, has done great services to the nation. By maintaining an absolute independence of all parties and all politicians, by its conspicuously honest endeavours to tell us true and authentic news and not faked news or camouflaged news, by the protests which it has always against anything in the nature corruption, or of the open door which leads to corruption, and by its stand against the sale of honours it has maintained the best traditions of English Journalism. The "Morning Post" has, however, never conferred a greater benefit on the nation than by its plain spoken opposition of the appointment of Sir Herbert Samuel to be the chief administrator and virtual. ly autocrat of Palestine, With these protests we desire to associate ourselves in the fullest way.
