When we speak of reconstructing Jewish life, it is
usually in a figurative way. But a new life is just like a
new garment. It has to be mails. piece by piece and every
little detail is of importance because the whole is made up
of many details. What we see in Pakstine is Cu. weaving
of a new garment, which is not only a new economic life
for the Jewish people, but a new national life. The threads
are being gathered together. Every new industry involves
going into the roots of life, finding where the industry
begins, how the material is to be gathered, where the ma-
•hinery is to he secured, how to find the markets, how to
adjust the prices, where to get the capital, from the
smallest thing to the largest, from the making tit . food
W the making of cement, clothing, shoes, hats, details of
machinery, export of oranges, alnionds, olives, the making
of oil, the resources of the Dead Sea, securing light, mak-
ing roads, sewers, building houses--the whole complex of
the wirtechaft of life is being remade and every Jew who
conies to Palestine becomee a party to that restless energy
which is seeking as rapidly as possible to transform every
feature of Jewish life to conform to the new conditions.

This is Palestine as it is ; realistic, unadorned, free
from fable or magic. Palestine is no place for those
who are seeking easy solutions. or
courage. faith and idealism or for those unfortunates
who have not been trained in the useful arts and crafts
of industrial and agricultural life.
