FUTURE OF PALESTINE
NATIONAL CENTRE FOR THE
JEWISH RACE.
LONDON, 14th July. Lord Rothschild presided; at a meeting of welcome to tiie American Zionist medical unit which is proceeding to take up relief work in Palestine.
Mr. G. Barnes (member of the War Cabinet), speaking on behalf of tho Government, said that Palestine was now 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 Zionists' future, because Zionism was identified with the ideals for which the Allies were fighting.
Sir Alfred 'Mond said that Zionism did not intend to proclaim a monopoly of the Holy Land and exclude other races. Its object was to establish in Palestine a Jewish national centre where Jews from all over the world could maintain the life, 'thought, and mission of the Jewish race in complete harmony with the other peoples of Palestine.-
