`BY Means of an Idea'
Bonds Aid Desalination
—From Herzl's Address to the
Fifth Zionist Congress
You know that before our time
many others tried to undertake our
task, often full of good will and
possessing great material resources.
You also know that these attempts
have failed. Why? Because all of
theft started from the wrong
principle. They th6ught, "In the be-
ginning let there be money!" No!
In the beginning is the idea! For
money you can get hirelings, in
that way you cannot arouse a na-
tion. That can be done only by
means of an idea, and the idea has
led us onto the right path.
