191-		 From the newspaper Globe and Commercial Advertiser in New York, Àbdu'l-Bahá was quoted as saying :
    "If the Zionists will mingle with the other races and live in unity with them, they will succeed. If not, they will meet certain resistance. For the present I think a neutral government like the British administration would be best. A Jewish government might come later.

    "There is too much talk today of what the Zionists are going to do here. There is no need of it. Let them come and do more and say less.

    "The Zionists should make it clear that their principle is to elevate all the people here and to develop the country for all its inhabitants. This land must be developed, according to the promises of the prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah and Zachariah. If they come in such a spirit they will not fail.
