FOREWORD THE object of this book is to assist English readers to understand on the one side the motive force and the significance of Zionist work in Palestine, on the other side the conditions under which that work is being carried on, the progress which it has made, and the problems by which it is confronted. Some unavoidable delay in the appearance of the book has interposed a larger interval than might have been desirable between the writing of certain of the articles and their publication; but it is believed that in all matters of importance the information given about Palestinian conditions is substantially up-to-date. Each of the writers in this volume is responsible solely for the views expressed in his own contribution. The Editors tender their best thanks to all the contributors for their collaboration, and to Mr. Murray for the invaluable assistance he has rendered throughout. L. S. L. J. S. May, 1923. |
