Sokolow, Nahum

Jews -- Restoration; Zionism -- History

From the Right Hon. JOHN HODGE, M.P.¹

    I fully sympathize with the view expressed in Mr. Balfour’s
    letter to Lord Rothschild, and further, may I express the hope
    that the end of the war may speedily see the realization of
    the Zionist dream.

    ¹ Minister of Pensions.

From LORD HUGH CECIL, M.P.

    ... I very cordially sympathize with the purpose of it, and
    heartily rejoice that there is good prospect of securing to
    the Jewish people a National Home in their own country.

From LORD SYDENHAM of Combe, G.C.M.G., G.C.I.E., G.C.S.I.¹

    ... I am in fullest sympathy with the object, and I am glad
    to know that Palestine may again become the National Home of
    the Jewish people. This would be one of the many happy results
    which, we may hope, will arise from the appalling sacrifices
    and the abiding sorrow which the war has brought upon the
    world.

    ¹ Governor of Bombay, 1907‒1913.

From the Right Hon. LORD EMMOTT, G.C.M.G.¹

    ... The movement for the establishment in Palestine of a
    National Home for the Jewish people is one which has my most
    cordial sympathy, and I sincerely hope that your demonstration
    may be a success.

    ¹ Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, 1911‒1914.

From the Right Hon. LORD TENNYSON, G.C.M.G.¹

    ... It seems to me that the establishment in Palestine of a
    National Home for the Jewish people would make for the peace
    of the world. This Jewish State should be, as George Eliot
    finely says, “a republic where the Jewish spirit manifests
    itself in a new order founded on the old.”

    ¹ Governor-General of Australia, 1902‒1904.

From the Rt. Rev. JAMES COOPER, D.D., Moderator of the General Assembly
of the Church of Scotland.

    The Church of Scotland cordially endorses the Declaration
    of the Cabinet in favour alike of the establishment in
    Palestine of a National Home for the Jewish people, and of the
    maintenance of the civil and religious rights of non-Jewish
    communities in a land so dear to Christians and Jews, rejoices
    in the prospect of this double honour being given to Great
    Britain, and prays that it may usher in a day of the richest
    blessings to the whole Israel of God.

From HIS EXCELLENCY BOGHOS NUBAR PASHA, President of the Armenian
National Delegation.
