electrical power derived from the Rut-
the pen of 1. Wilkansky. The first
article concluded with the following
words: "I have but one reply to all
these uestions and that is: Land!"
Mr. Wilkansky arrives at this point
of view after a discussion of the
merits of intensive and extensive
farming. But in my opinion his con-
clusion can be applied to a far wider
and more significant extent. Zionism
is first and foremost a territorialist
movement, not merely in the ligical
sense, but also in the simple mean-
ing of the word. For under no pos-
sible circumstances can there ever be

That is the first conclusion at which
we have already arrived. During re-
cent months the clouds of enthusiasm
raised by political victories have dis-
persed and we have seen things as
they actually are. Thus, a second
conclusion has become clear, namely,
that the land of Erez Israel can be
acquired only by purchasing it. No
appropriation of large landed estates;
no government nationalization of
land, no political triumph, will bring
us land; we shall acquire land only
and solely by purchasing it. That is
our second conclusion and it has been
definitely and finally confirmed by a
member of the Zionist executive who,
without doubt, is better acquainted
with the subject than anyone else.
These two conclusions must cause
us to take up a special attitude to
the land problem at the present Tao
ment, when theoreitcal Zionism is giv
ing way to the creative, constructiv
building of the Jewish center in Erez
Israel—an attitude that represent
something of a tragic contradiction.
This will be understood by a refer
ence to the system of the practice

Americans when they are - about to
prepare for colonization large tracts
The Americans
of barren land,
build their cities on the land they
purchase, in the form of the black
and white squuares of a chess board.
Alongside each area prepared for set-
tlement, another equal area is left
untouched and so its purchase price
continually increases of itself with
the development of the settlemets on
each side of it. All our work in Erez
Israel, every colonization enterprise
and preparation for such enterprise,
be it on ever so small a scale which
is of civilizing value--means build-
ing on a sort of chess board system,
but not in relation to land owned by
us, but by others.' And here lies the
contradiction. Every thing that we
do in Erez Israel, everything that
we create and construct; increases
the value and price of the ground,
makes it more difficult to acquire, re-
duces the possibility of its redemp-
tion! in brief, makes access more dif-
ficult to our land, which is the Alpha
and Omega of our future and our
national home. if we were able to
build up our life according to pure
logic, like a solution in geometry or
in algebra, we would find it neces-
sary to cease all work of a fruitful
nature on the land of Palestine, to
refrain from ,every vital and useful
action until• we acquired a sufficient
area in Erez Israel. But, of course,
life is not made that way, and no
one would entertain such a sugges-
tion for the upbuilding of Palestine.
But the reasonable solution of this
problem resolves itself in the most
Near mariner into this: That land,
land, yet more land, must occupy the
first place in our economic plan. We
must expect the maximum sum of
money 011 the acquisition of land in
Ere?. Israel and engage in the most
extensive propaganda for the pur-
chase of land by Jews, remembering
all the time that every moment wast-
ed means a sin and an offense. Now',
when we are commencing a new page
in Zionist history, the concrete up-
building of our land, our first and
foremost slogan must, in all serious-
ness, be: Redeem the land! Nothing
else can compare in usefulness to the
expenditure of money for obtaining
land. And if it is inevitabte.that we
compromise with the demands of a
complicated and contradictory life,
let us counter such compromise by
spending our funds for the redemp-
tion of our land and extension of our
territory in Erez Israel. We most do
this with a willing heart, with joy,
with a sacred devotion, with the de-
light of a spiritual creation; the re-
demption of the land must be the
"noly of holies" of our work.

That is what ought to take place.
But just in recent years, that is just
when we should have seen this most
clearly, we have, as it Were, been
smitten with blindness. I can under-
stand the uncompromising spirit of
