Zionist hopes for civil Palestine rule after San Remo
The Associated Press report from San Remo states Zionist representatives expect a transition from military to sympathetic civil rule in Palestine. Benjamin Cohen of Chicago, with Dr. Chayim Weizmann, says Zionism shifts to developing Palestine and bringing Jewish immigrants, mainly agricultural work, with America likely funding much of the early costs. Palestine’s population is about 700,000, up from ancient times, and the plan emphasizes hands-on development over industrial focus, forecasting an interesting social experiment rather than socialism. Additional notes say America will probably supply most funds until a new state stabilizes.
