Palestine Recuperating.
Mr. Levin, who later journeyed to
Palestine in the interests of the Zion-
ist cause, pointed out the marked
contrast between war-torn France,
still dazed with the shock of war, to
the colonies of Palestine where the
Jews were rapidly flocking from their
various havens of refuge during the
reign of terror of the Turks, bearing
With them whatever they can in the
way of materials and implements to
"carry on" the work of rehabilitation.
Love for Soil is Spur.
"The secret of this almost super-
human energy of our people in Pales-
tine," Mr. Levin declared, "is the love
of and attachment to the soil. The
keen interest in economic and social
affairs which they manifest, their
tirelessness and fearlessness is born
of their anxiety to see their home in

Not a Political Issue.
Mr. Levin stated that while over
here it is generally conceded that the
political aspect of Zionism is the
most vital, in Palestine the Jews are
very little concerned with that phase
of the problem.
'The political interests that any
Particular people or particular group
