Palestine for the Jews, 1 compare in
a certain degree to the efforts of the
Irish to obtain home rule. The Irish
mar has more rights than the Jew. of
course. but the Irish are not r~espected
as a people on the whole as they
should be and neither is the Jew. Self
respect is one of our most important
teachings and we mean to bring this
about through organization and edu-
cation.
Al the present time we have thirty
eight colonies in Palestine with a pop
ulation of $4,000. that we are main
tanning as a haven of refuge for the
oppressed of our ace Here the He
prev language is taught: it is the Of
ncial language. We have high
schools, grammar schools. university
and Kindergarten and are giving the
young people all the advantages pos
sible. In these colonies the streets
are paved and everything is sanitary.
We have our W waterworks system
and in the near future hope to have
electric lights and possibly electric
cars.
Our propaganda today is to make
our work more generally understood
and when there is a wider understand
ing or What we propose to do, we will
receive greater assistance.
I'VE do not expect all the Jews to
go to Palestine, but we do opo to
have a place where the down trodden
Jews of Russia and Roumania may
find peace, comfort and a chance to
be educated and make the best of life.
In order to acquire our aim, the
Jewish Colonial Trust has been estab-
lished. This is a banking institution,
with headquarters in London. Shares
are sold at IS each. The fund today
has reached a mark we'll over s13,-
900, 000. We have several branches of
the bank in the orient. In addition to
the bank we have also established the
Jewish national fund. Money is rails
ed by collections and the sale of one
cent stamps. which the Jews are asked
to use in private correspondence. We
receive contributions from everybody,
however. and they are coming in
right along. Recently an Irishman OF
Pittsburg, named Nixon, gave $1,324
toward the fund.
"Jews that must migrate. we want
to go to their own country and we
must make this a place where they
can secure the advantages which mod
ern times demand"
