His first words, after he had welcomed me, were as follows: 'Well, Dr. Weismann, we have as good as beaten them already.' I...thanked him for his constant support for the Zionist course. 'You were standing at the cradle of this enterprise.' I said to him, 'and hopefully you will live to see that we have succeeded.' Adding that after the war we would build up a state of three to four million Jews in Palestine, whereupon he replied: 'Yes, go ahead, I am full in agreement with this idea.'” FirstsWellsSaidIdeasWarStatesThreeCoursesMillionsSupportFourStandingConstantJewHopefullyEnterpriseAgreementDrsBeatenPalestineCradleZionist Author:Chaim Weizmann
