Palestine. by virtue of its situation. is the only practical outlet for the oil from these Middle Eastern countries. Therefore. the government that controls Palestine will largely control the oil from this region and greatly profit by its exploitation. The Jews who were permitted to enter Jerusalem before the Balfour Declaration was abrogated. in cooperation with their kindred who were already there. established manufactories in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv which they operated with such unusual efficiency and success that the British are charged with having concluded that drastic restrictions on Jewish immigration are necessary in order to protect British manufacturers against Jewish competition. The events of the recent World War emphasized anew the historic fact that Palestine is the most strategic land on the globe. It is the connecting link between Asia and Africa and. by reason of its long Mediterranean shore line and its excellent seaport of Haifa. it is the gateway to Europe and the countries of the Western Hemisphere for the important commerce that originates in northeastern Africa and southwestern Asia.
