Like his friend and colleague Louis Brandeis, Frankfurter was a prominent and enthusiastic Zionist. In this article, he praises the progress of the Jewish settlement of Palestine: "There Jews are living and laboring with a joy and ardor felt by Jews probably in no other land. The Arab masses thrive better than in any of the Arab countries surrounding Palestine. And despite the stimulation of religious fanaticism and the blatancy of the doctrinaire, Jew and Arab are collaborating in the thousand intimacies of their common life as builders of a new country." He also discusses the Palestine Mandate and the Balfour Declaration at length.
