modern flour mill has been establish-

process of organization. Other indus-
tries for the manufacture of building
material have sprung up. These are
small beginnings which can be devel-

Workman's Bank, with a great future

we were not developing great spirtual
values, through our educational and
cultural system, which stand out as
the ear-mark of the Jewish renais-
sance in Palestine. The visible ex-

tablishing of the Hebrew University

"All this achievement has only been
rendered possible by the Mandate and
by the good, modern government
which has been set up under it. In our
opinion the possibility to go on more
intensively with the systematic and
organic building up of the Jewish pos-
ition in Palestine is the essence of pol-
itical Zionism.
"It is true that in the early stages
of Zionism, when the movement em-

bedied a hope and noble aspiration
rather than a worked out plan of ac-
tion, there were Jews who looked to a
kind of political miracle which would
solve the whole problem of Palestinian
reconstruction as at the wave of a
wand. There were Jews who really
believed that as soon as the Jewish
right to Palestine was merely pro-
claimed the entire problem would be
solved automatically—that the mere
proclamation of such rights would
suffice or that some one would take the
Jewish people by the hand and lead it
into the land of Promise.

a population which, though it is akin
to us in many respects, watches with
extreme jealousy our entry into the

Long and patient effort is gradually
removing that fear. With all its dif-
ficulties we are confident that the Ju-

outside interference, would find its
natural solution in common work and
achievement for the country where the
