ble. Where they are
held by private companies, the Jewish Company will receive favorable
terms for transport, in the same way as does every transmitter of
goods on a large scale. Freight and carriage must be made as cheap as
possible for our people, because every traveller will pay his own
expenses. The middle classes will travel with Cook's tickets, the
poorer classes in emigrant trains. The Company might make a good deal
by reductions on passengers and goods; but here, as elsewhere, it must
adhere to its principle of not trying to raise its receipts to a
greater sum than will cover its working expenses.

In many places Jews have control of the transport; and the transport
businesses will be the first needed by the Company and the first to be
liquidated by it. The original owners of these concerns will either
enter the Company's service, or establish themselves independently
"over there." The new arrivals will certainly require their
assistance, and theirs being a paying profession, which they may and
indeed must exercise there to earn a living, numbers of these
enterprising spirits will depart. It is unnecessary to describe all
the business details of this monster expedition. They must be
judiciously evolved out of the original plan by many able men, who
must apply their minds to achieving the best system.

SOME OF THE COMPANY'S ACTIVITIES

Many activities will be interconnected. For example: the Company will
gradually introduce the manufacture of goods into the settlements
which will, of course, be extremely primitive at their inception.
Clothing, linens, and shoes will first of all be manufactured for our
own poor emigrants, who will be provided with new suits of clothing at
the various European emigration centers. They will not receive these
clothes as alms, which might hurt their pride, but in exchange for old
garments: any loss the Company sustains by this transaction will be
booked as a business loss. Those who are absolutely without means will
pay off their debt to the Company by working overtime at a fair rate
of wage.

Existing emigration societies will be able to give valuable assistance
here, for they will do for the Company's colonists what they did
before for departing Jews. The forms of such cooperation will easily
be found.

Even the new clothing of the poor settlers will have the symbolic
meaning. "You are now entering on a new life." The Society of Jews
will see to it that long before the dep
