[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.

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.
