Nor do I want you to get the idea
that we, the executive, have given up
the attempt to get the state lands
which are available. I said one should
not have too many exaggerated hopes,
but whatever is possible to get in
fairness from the government, is be-
ing attempted, and I am hopeful of
success.

Permit me tee add that the possibili-
ties of Palestine are not limited tee
agricultural development. As was al-
ready pointed out by my distinguished
friend, Dr. Arlosoroff, agriculture is
and will remain the very basis of the
national home. If this pyramid is to li
stand at all on something solid it must
stand on land and I don't think I need II
labor this point to any great length.
Where it is quite true that, in an in-
dustrial sense, Palestine will never
equal in its development the great in-
dustrial centers of Europe and Am-
erica, there is the possibility for a
considerable number of minter and
sonic major industries to be developed
in Palestine, partly on the raw ma-
terial which exists in the country,
partly on the material which may be
imported. Palestine, in my opinion,
has above all one possibility which is
not in the direction of raw materials
or cheap power, but is in the direction
of its geographical position. The geo-
graphical position of Palestine, con-
necting as it does three continents,
with a population intelligent, indus-
trious and linking up with the great
cultural centers of civilization in Eur-
ope and America, is capable , of becom-
ing the industrial and commercial
clearing station of the Near East. It
can only be my role to indicate, what
is obvious leer anybody who has made
a study on the spot that the things
which were not dreamed of 10 years
aim appear to be realizable. Nobody
ever really believed that the Jordan
could be made into a Winne of power.
