HAT Palestine, revered mother land of three greit religions,
shou d at last receive back to her bosom the wide-scattered
people whose zeal inspired them has been the promise of tire
prophets and the dream of the ages. Once more among the
nations is destined to stand Israel.
To all of its, the Jewish question is one of the world's
great sociological problems. The summary of the sufferings
of the Jews is the outstanding tra gedy of all time.
Crushed by the successive conquests of five empires,
flung in fragments out over the whole face ofthc earth, and
to suffer persecution in every clime, their speech broken into
a thousand tongues, still, for twenty centurjes they have held
sacred the ideal of Israel and the passion' for the Homeland.
Israel, two thousand years dormant, is rising.
Zionism, long a mystic hope, but now a practical move
ment with a definite program, is making real its aim to make
of Palestine once more a Jewish land Jewish in the sense
that the majority of its people shall be Jews, and in the sense
that the predominant culture shall be Hebrew culture.
The world war has forced a universal realization of the
inherent right of all peoples to racial self-expression. Out
of the travail has sprung Israe of the world's yesterday, to
day and to-morrow, to stand again as a sign and a symbol.
Not only has Jewry organized to this end, but also great
democratic governments of the world have definitely given
their approval and pledges of assistance. In the minds of
the American people it is an accepted fundamental principle
of right.
Israel Restored expresses, to Jew and non-Jew alike,

When the days were dark and dreary,

was on the blink, we used to go down
to Mike's place and slip one in just to
stave off the glooms.
When the Bores kept after us and we
had not the moral courage to assassinate,
and, besides, we didn't want to mess up
the new office rug with their gore, we
