tly, if we agreed with the movement, we would get in line at once. Note in especial the bibliography of the whole matter (Appendix 4). "Zionism looks 'forward, not backward,' and the vast hope behind it is one that will help the non-Jewish world as much as the children of Abraham. May Israel yet have a Hebrew University in Jerusalem. They are right--these idealists. Palestine 'is essentially the land of religious influences and spiritual association,' and also of 'political and geographical importance.' The problems in all this are fairly met and fully discussed in this book, which Dr. H. Sacher edits. "And how is the Gentile to approach the subject? With a perfectly open mind on all its economic, historical and religious questions. If taken up in this way the book grows on one; it presents wholly reasonable aspirations which all right-minded people can endorse and will desire to aid as far as practicable. To have a 'perfectly open mind' is to take up the problems of these earnest people who discuss 'Zionism' as our friends, our neighbors, our fellow-workers. Don't be 'tolerant' or patronizing towards Jew or Gentile, American, European, Asiatic, African or Islander. We are 'all of one blood.' "One of the best of Californian novelists, who has enjoyed the book, writes as follows: " 'It is an excellent round-up and exposition of all the vagrant--and vague--theories and history of the subject. It makes the evolution and logical being of the question perfectly clear. Whereas in most Jewish minds Zionism means a belief in Palestine as the native soil of all Jews and the refuge for the oppressed, the motive here expressed is that by drawing the Jewish soul to its ancient Fatherland, it will create a spiritual center for all Jewry.'
