“But American Zionists owe a duty to the American Zion Commonwealth, which we call upon them to perform. In view of the assurances herewith given, we urge every Zionist not to lend credence to the destructive rumors that are being circulated, and to state the facts as herein contained to all inquirers, in order that this disturbance in the confidence which the American Zion Commonwealth has enjoyed for many years, may be completely removed. Every American purchaser of land is urged to continue his payments on his contracts in due course in order that the American Zion Commonwealth may not suffer in its attempt to stabilize the situation in Palestine. Every dollar now paid into the American Zion Commonwealth is a protection of the Palestine land-holding interests of the American Zion Commonwealth. Further, we would urge every Zionist who has the means, and is interested in acquiring individual possession of land in Palestine, not to hesitate to make his purchases of such land from the present holdings of the American Zion Commonwealth.”
