in Holy Land-A Statement by Herman

'do theirs. It will not be our fault
II Palestine is not rehabilitated in
accordance with our Declaration
DR.. Weizmann and Mr. Sokolow
replied;
The Jews will not failP
"Since the San Reno decision the
Jews everywhere, and particularly
in the United States. have exerted 2
their efforts to secure the necessary
means for the rehabilitation OF the
Holy Lands in order that Palestine
may flourish again and develop eco
nomically. agriculturally, industrial
ly and culturally.
Jewish youths fought under Cen
eral Allenby the modern conqueror
OF Palestine. and many OF them
gave their lives for the land OF their
fathers. Since the British occupa-
tion of Palestine, various Jewish or
ganizations have poured more than
$40, ,000.0 into that country, aside
from the large amount Of capital
brought into Palestine by private
Jewish enterprises. Jewish capital
and Jewish labor have cleared the
neglected soil drained marshes and
afforested stony hills. The Jews
have established model farms and
agricultural experiment stations.
They have introduced modern meth
DDS Of sanitation in Palestine and
have organized complete eduoa-
tional system there.
The restoration Of Palestine,
which has been the dream and hope
Of the Jews for 1000 years. is being
translated into a reality by Jewish
enterprise, by substantial sacrifices
and. above ALL by the hard work of
the sturdy Jewish pioneers.
THE Jews do not ask England 10
rebuild Palestine All they ask IS
that the mandatory power enforce
public order IN that country. so that
the Jews may devote their energies
to the great task Of rebuilding and
developing Palestine peacefully.
"While Arab and other agitators.
in their anti-Jewish campaign. are
resorting to methods of viluhcation
and distortion OF the truth with re-
, gard TO Jewish aggression we have
a statement from King Feisul, the
son of King Hussein, an authorita-
tive spokesman for the Arabs, in
which he said:
The Jewish movement Is ma
tional and not imperialist. Our
, movement is national and not i'm
. perialist. There is room in Syria for
. us both. Indeed, think that neither
, can be real success without the
other. People less informed and
, less responsible than our leaders
