SIR,
As arranged at our meeting on Saturday, the 9th of this month, the
Government of the Republic, so as to make definite its views on the
subject of Zionist aspirations with regard to the creation of a Jewish
national home in Palestine, has sent a communication to the Press.
In sending you this text, I wish to take the opportunity of
congratulating you on the splendid devotion with which you are
furthering the aspirations of your co-religionists, and of thanking
you for the way in which you have made known to them the sympathy with
which all the countries of the Entente, and especially France, are
watching their efforts.
Please accept assurances of my most cordial sympathy.
(_Signed_) PICHON.

LONDRA,
_li 9 Maggio, 1918_.
PREGIATISSIMO SIGNORE,
D’ordine di Sua Eccellenza il Barone Sonnino, Ministro per gli Affari
Estri del Re, ho l’onore d’informarla che, in relazione alle domande
che gli sono state rivolti, il Governo di Sua Maestà è lieto di
confermare le precedenti dichiarazioni già fatte a mezzo dei suoi
rappresentanti a Washington, l’Aja e Salonicco, di essere cioè disposto
ad adoperarsi con piacere per facilitare lo stabilirsi in Palestina
di un centro nazionale ebraico, nell’intesa pero che non ne venga
nessun pregiudizio allo stato giuridico e politico delle già esistenti
comunita’ religiose ed ai diritti civili e politici che gl’ Israeliti
già godono in ogni altro paese.
Gradisca, Pregiatissimo Signore, gli atti della mia Distintissima
considerazione.
