Zionist propaganda tour during,
his stay in Cologue. It remained
for the Fifth Congress, in 1901, to
make a reality of what was called
a phantom during Professor Scha-
pira's lifetime. On Dec. 20, 1901,
the Jewish National Fund was
made a fact, and in 1902 the first
head office was formally opened i
rut
Vienna.
'fhree basic principles were e
tablished to rule the Fund:
1. The money of the Jewis
National Fund was to be devoted
to the purchase of land in Pales-
II
tine.
2. The land so acquired was to
remain for all time the possession
of the Jewish people as a whole.
3. All Jews, without exception,
could become partners in the
Fund. The Pruta, or the smallest
currency in circulation, was to be
the token of participation in this
Tai
work.
The need for the redemption of JQ
the soil of Palestine was thus to be
goided by the Mosaic lows of so-
cial justice in a rebuilt Jewish SI
Homeland. The Jubilee Year yeas
instituted by Moses so that the
right of possession in land could
be transferred for only 50 years,
after which it was to revert to the
original owner or his heirs. The
equality of land holdings in origi-
nal allotments was thus to be re-
stored every half century.
The Jewish National Fund
turned to the Mosaic principles to
solve the agrarian question. The
soil of Palestine was to be made
