Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Jewish Colonization in Palestine Methods, Plans and Capital
The treatment.of the questions discussed in this book may seem rather inopportune if one bears in mind merely the exist ing situation and the prospects, at present so obscure, of further Jewish activity in the settlement of Palestine. But if one cherishes the least hope that, whatever the fate of Palestine may be after the war, our claims in regard to colonization in that land may be fulfilled, the question of the financial means that will be necessary for a realization of the possibilities that present them selves, is one that cannot be considered early enough.
The discussion of the question of a Jewish colonization in Palestine upon a large scale has quite recently been resumed in the press. The agricultural possibilities of the land and its capacity for a really extensive Jewish Colonization are being discussed in connection with the events of the war and with an eventual emigration of the Jewish masses from Eastern Europe. The problem of the financial means necessary for the realization of such plans has also been dealt with lately in various articles and pamphlets.
In order to be able to arrive at an answer to the question of the capital necessary for a more extensive agricultural coloniza tion than the present, one must first be quite clear about the methods of colonization to be applied in the future.
