Excerpt from The Industrial Development of Palestine
It is hardly an exaggeration to say that the eyes of all men are turned towards Palestine. For millions of people indeed - Jews, Christians and Moslems - the newly awakened country has the most sacred associations. What will be its future, now that it has been liberated from a cruel tyranny and is free to develop its resources? Can it be made self-supporting? Has it goods and gifts to offer in return for those it may receive? Knowledge on such points is urgently needed, but has not so far been easily obtainable. In the essay which is here published, and which I have been allowed to read in manuscript, it is made common property. The writer describes the work that the Jews have already accomplished in recent years in Palestine, and sketches the work that it is possible for them to do in the years to come. And if the title of such an essay might suggest that the subject is a dry one, this proves to be a totally wrong, impression. The writer has handled his task in such a way that his essay will be read with pleasure as well as with profit. He is a specialist; but has succeeded not only in giving in small compass a large amount of valuable information, but also in presenting his material in a very interesting form.
