THE ZIONIST MOVEMENT.
LONDON, July 15. Lord Rothschild presided over a meeting welcoming an American Zionist medical unit, which is proceeding on relief work to Palestine. Mr G. N. Barnes, speaking on behalf of the Government, said that Palestine was now all ready for transformation. It would be the first scene in the uplifting of the peoples of the East, in which Zionism would play a leading part. The Government proclaimed its trust in the future of the Zionist movement, because. Zionism was identified with the ideals for which the Allies w.ere fighting. Sir Alfred Mond (Commissioner of Works) said that' Zionism did not intend to proclaim a monopoly of the Holy Land, excluding other races. Ite object was to establish in Palestine a Jewish national centre, where Jews from all the world could maintain the life, thought, and mission of the Jewish race in complete harmony with the other peoples of Palestine.—(A. and N.Z. Cable.)
