  Not 
  far 
  from 
  Beyrouth 
  is 
  a 
  valley 
  where 
  we 
  found 
  the 
  climax 
  in 
  adjustment 
  of 
  permanent 
  agriculture 
  

  

  to 
  steep, 
  sloping 
  lands. 
  September 
  1939.

  Well-planned 
  and 
  well-constructed 
  Jewish 
  colonies 
  have 
  great 
  agricultural 
  possibilities 
  if 
  the 
  Jews 
  are 
  

  

  permitted 
  to 
  continue 
  with 
  their 
  program 
  of 
  land 
  reclamation 
  in 
  Palestine.
