by the good, modern government

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-

bodied 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.

extreme jealousy our entry into the

Long and patient effort is gradually

outside interference, would find its
natural solution in common work and
