note how the Jewish students are responding to the trumpet call of Israel ever since they heard its clear blast sounded by Theodor Herzl. First the Continental students heard the summons, then the American students gave heed and now the Jewish students of England have united under the white and the blue of Zion. To us this is a splendid spectacle, a glorious achievement of Zionism and of Zionism
alone. It bears suflicient and convincing' testimony to the belief that the Jewish intellectual giants of the future mean to solve- the problems of their own nation in a business-like, decent and effective way. Weneed not entertain any fears as’ to the future of Judaism or the Jews if we have this element in sympathy with our aims and our: nAanale
From the Palestine Commission
Important Notice to all Zionist Organizations
The Palestine Commission has issued the following instructions regarding the work to be done by Zionist societies in behalf of the various activities in Palestine in which the Zionists are now engaged:
To the Federations of the Zionist Organization.
My Dear Fellow-Zionists:—The Palestine Commission takes the liberty of urging upon the officers of the several Federations the advisability of arranging in every locality one or more Palestine evenings for the purpose of collecting the voluntary Palestine contribution (twenty-five cents per capita) as soon as possible.
At these Palestine evenings essays or addresses should be presented on the following. and similar subjects: The adaptibility of Palestine for Colonization; The Jewish Colonies; The Present Activities of the Palestine Commission; The Institutions in Which the Zioniste Are Interested, e. g., the Anglo-Palestine Co., the Bezalel, the Olive-Tree Fund, the Herzl Forest, the Pflanzungsverein Palaestina, the Palestine Industrial Syndicate ‚ete.*
The Palestine Commission believes that at such meetings the Palestine tax may be easily and readily collected.
In view of the several important under-
takings involving considerable expenditures, which are now before the Palestine Commission, it is highly desirable that the collection of the Palestine tax be completed by February, 1907.
Very respectfully submitted, O. WARBURG, Kommission zur Erforschung Palaes- tinas.
