What was the result? The net balance was not great; forty settlements, some farms, co-operative societies, _Tel Aviv_, the new _Achuzoth_, the _Carmel_, the _Pardes_, the _Aggudath N’taim_, modern machines; new methods of work introduced not only among Jews, but also among Arabs; malaria centres disinfected; the best conditions for planting studied in experimental institutions; our banks, the _Bezalel_, public health centres, the music school, two well-filled secondary schools, the girls’ school in _Jaffa_, the _Tach’kmoni_ school in the same place, the _Petach-Tikwah_ school of agriculture, the settlement schools, the committee organization of the settlements, the workers’ associations, the teachers’ union, the _Hebrew_ newspapers and literature, the “Houses of the People”――these represent what _Chovevé Zion_, Baron Edmond _de_ Rothschild and the Zionists have created, and what we call the new colonization of Palestine. The earlier rivalries have vanished. The _Chovevé Zion_ and the Zionists are at one as to the policy of Zionism. The Zionist Palestine office in _Jaffa_ is the head-quarters of the work of colonisation. The struggle for _Hebrew_ has shown how Palestine is becoming more and more an intellectual centre. The visit of Baron Edmond _de_ Rothschild to Palestine in 1913 had set the seal upon this unanimity. Even the blind could perceive that a true Jewish Home was in process of establishment. No further arguments were needed. The Jewish population in the land, although a minority, is the only one that is growing and has grown during the past generation. It is the only progressive population in the land, the others are stationary in regard to numbers. Let any one go to Palestine, not on one of Cook’s lightning tours, but as a Jew to the land of _Israel_; let him remain in the settlements but a few weeks――that will be a certain cure for anti-Zionism. If it should happen that any one could not be cured even in this way, then he must unfortunately be regarded as incurable. We, however, know of a great many that have been cured. Thus the organization grew. It is sufficient to compare the beautiful first Basle Congress of 1897 with the enormous Vienna Congress of 1913; it is sufficient to compare the phantom Jewish National Fund of 1899 with the existing Jewish National Fund, which can show an annual income of over two million francs; it is sufficient to compare the two or three Zionist pamphlets of eighteen years ago with the Zionist press and literature in existence to-day. Thus Zionism has grown to what it is to-day for the Jewish people: a spring of life, a signpost, the foundation of a mighty edifice.
