THE JEWISH COLONIES IN
PALESTINE.

To the Zionist, the dearest part
of Palestine, aside from Jerusalem
with it's memories, are the new agri-
cultural colonies, with their roman
tic tale of self-sacrihce and struggle,
and with their rosy prospects for the
future (Which even the terrible ex-

or the Nn1SntS OF Zion \DcCc1nDcI
2o-January p rapidly approaching,
and with the final arrangements for
the reception of some 100 delegates
and perhaps as many more visitors
taking definite shape, it may be in
place to acquaint the reader with
some salient facts about the Zionist
movement. AS Palestine is the cen
ter of interest for the Zionist move
ment, every one who desires to fol-
low intelligently the course of the
Convention and the addresses of the
eminent men who have already sig
nif1ed their intention to be present,
should know something about
"Eretz Yisroel.
The following facts about Pales-
tine should therefore be of interest:
The area of Palestine is $4,000
square kilometers. The total Jewish
population in Palestine in 1914 was
10000 divided as follows: Jerusa-
lem, 10000; Jaffa, 1850; Haifa,
1850; GAIA, 200; Safed, 500; I'll
berias, 800; Jewish agricultural col
onies, 10000.
The land in Palestine owned by
Jews amounts at present to about
10000 acres, forming about one and
a half per cent of the total area of
Palestine.
The land has grown in value since
the colonists began to settle and the
Zion Movement began active work
in the land. The price of all land is
constantly increasing.
In 1881 urban land in Jerusalem
and Jaffa suburbs could be pur-
chased at one cent per meter (about
forty inches) while in 1914 the price
on the same land had advanced to
$1.50 and $500 per meter, certain To-
calities range as high as $1,000 The
tract of land between Jaffa and the
Colony Mikweh Israel was in 1870
offered for $4,000 and the price was
considered too high, while the same
land in 1914 was estimated to be
worth about $o00,000.O0. The price
Of rural land, uncultivated, ranges
between $4,000 to $4,000 per hec-
tare "a hectare equals two and half
acres).
