BY if Editor of The American Hebrew (Copyright, 1917, by the Newspaper Enterprise Association) Joy was brought to the hearts of millions of Jews thruout the world lant November 3, when Arthur Bal four, British foreign minister, wrote to Bir Lionel othachild, vice prent- dent of the Zionint organization of | Pngland, that the Firitish govern ” t viewed with favor the estab Ushment in Palestine of a national |home for the Jews. Hut these were the joys of antici pation, the Jews having been pre- pared for this official declaration by & nemiofficial statement tmaued by General Sir Archibald Murray in Mareh, just before his army read ed Gaza. “What shall we do with Patestine, which is now about to be stripped from the Turkish yoke?” he inquir ed, and anewertng bis own question, he mays: ‘Meyond doubt we will revive the Jewish Palestine of ancient days, and give to the Jews the ponsibility of realizing thelr ancient hope, Not all Jews will return to Palestine, but large numbers will The new Jew ish state, under either Engtish or French protection, will become the spiritual and cultural center of all Jewry, The Jews will at last have their own homeland and thetr own nationality, Hopes which have sus. tained them thru the centuries: will now be realized.” Statesmen of Italy, France and Ruasia have politically pledged their countries to the support of this plan Pope Satisfied The pepe recently received o Zionint emissary who explained the Jewish aspirations, After | listening intently, his holiness | | ejaculated: “We will be good neighbors—we will be good neighbors.” Whether by coincidence or de- aign, it le noteworthy that the Aemr fean council in London, extending its greetings to the Zionist leaders Jon the official declaration tn their favor by the British government, | used the identical phrase that fell | | from the lips of the pope.

Thru the centuries there have been various attempts to reestablish the Jewish people on thelr ancient land, but nothing of serious character is recorded prior to 1860, when the “Alliance laraetite Universalle” of Paris began operat- ing in Palestine. The first thing done by the alliance was to establish }an agricultural school, for which the Turkish government donated 625 acres of land near Jaffa. A school was opened in 1870 under the name jot “Mikwah Israel.” | ‘orm “Bilu” Societies In 1878, Laurence Oliphant, an | Engiteh explorer, visited Palestine and became an advocate of Jewish and swamp, and were almoet entire ly surrounded by savage nomads.

The Zionist orgunization undertook firstly, political negotia tions for recognition of the Jewinh nationality and its claims on Pales tine; and secondly, the fontering of a national colonization in the Holy Land. In the last few years before the war there arose a number of large plantation societies (“Achuzoth”), which were founded tn Rusia, the United States, England and itumania. Several workmen's settlements have been founded during the last few yours, mostly with the help of the Jewish national fund, in the neighborhood of the large colonies At the same time the former colo nies have been considerably enlarged by the purchase of land In their neighborhood A brisk influx of brave young Ia-| borers on the one hand, and of en-| terprising capitalists on the other, was particularly noticeable in Pales- | tine during the last few years before the war.
