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. p,rni 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.
