We in this country should in the midst of our tribulations and afflictions take to heart the following words of Theodore Roosevelt: "The foes of our own household shall surely prevail against us unless there be in our people an inner life which finds its outward expression In a morality not very widely different from that preached by the seers and prophets of Judea when the grandeur that was Greece and the glory that was Rome still lay in the future." There is no better or more loyal citizen than a religious Jew. We do not anticipate that many American Jews will return to live in Jerusalem. but that they will make it possible for their coreligionists in central Europe. where they are discriminated against and are in great distress. to enter Palestine. from whence they were brutally driven out centuries ago to endure centuries of persecution in many climes and in many foreign lands. The Jewish immigrants In the last 10 years have already developed the waste places of Palestine from Dan to Beersheba into fruit orchards and fields of grain. They have erected hydroelectric power stations and built modern cities like Tel Aviv. and brought the newest attainments of science and research to that most ancient of lands that gave birth to three of the worlds greatest religions. They have built a university at Jerusalem and established hospitals and homes for the aged and other charitable institutions. as they have done all over the world.
