By the time Great Britain's mandate over Palestine expires, it is quite possible that Pinchas Rutenberg will have developed a vertical and horizontal trust so vast that the only way of adequately protecting the capital involved will be to create the Seventh Dominion. Certainly the degraded and impoverished natives of Palestine, who would be raised up to "Rutenberg prosperity" during such...
