Despite the terrorism in Palestine a large area of land is available for sale to the Jews, said Professor L.B. Namier, of the Jewish National Fund, in an address at the Anglo-Palestine Club.

Stressing the vital importance of the day to day work of the Zionist movement, Professor Namier said that complaints were made that promises to the Jews had not been kept. But, he asked, how much had survived of the treaties and promises made to much stronger powers than they? They had, more than any other nation, to learn day to day work, he said. The real work, he went on, was being done by the people of Palestine — the chalutzim, who were doing normal every day work in abnormal circumstances. Every worker in the Galuth who supported the cause was doing something that counted far more than meetings and discussions of pious resolutions, he said.
