Progress toward a Jewish national home has, however, been remarkable: the number of rural Zionist colonies has increased from forty-seven to about two hundred.

Between 1922 and 1940, Jewish landholdings have risen from about 148,500 to 383,500 acres and now constitute about one-seventh of the cultivatable land, and the Jewish population has grown from 83,790 to 467,000, or nearly one-third of a total population of about one million five hundred and twenty-eight thousand

Tel Aviv has developed into an all-Jewish city of one hundred and fifty thousand inhabitants, and eighty million pounds of Jewish capital has been introduced into the region.

The Jewish literacy rate is high, schools are expanding, and the Hebrew language has become widespread.

Despite the split in 1935 between the mainline Zionists and the radical Revisionists, who advocate the use of force to establish a Zionist state on both sides of the Jordan River, Zionist institutions in Palestine have become stronger in the 1930s and have helped create the preconditions for the establishment of a Jewish state.
