Abstract
Following a 1939 visit to Palestine, Dr. Walter Clay Lowdermilk and his wife Inez embarked on a lifelong mission to support the Zionist cause. In the political realm, Walter, who was Associate Chief of the US Soil Conservation Service and a gentile, lent his voice to support the Zionist cause in the debate concerning the absorptive capacity of Palestine.

This article examines the Lowdermilks' contribution to the Zionist project and the new State of Israel.
