NO CHANGE IN PALESTINE
POLICY, SAYS CURZON

London, Eng.—The language used
by Lord Curzon, British Foreign Sec-
retary, um the message of reassurance
which he addressed to the Zionists on
the occasion of the mass meeting held
iu Londiin on November 2, 1919, to
celebrate the second anniversary of
the Balfour declaration is as follows:
"I have pleasure in assuring you,
if such assurance is required, which
I hardly believe to lie the case, that
there has been no change in the pol-
icy of His Majesty's government re-
garding the establishment of a Jewish
National Dome in Palestine."
Lord Curzon added that the delay
in the settlement of international
questions imposed a strain on all
peoples, but the declaration given by
the British government and adopted
by other Allied governments, is an
essential element for the pacification
of the world. and he cannot doubt but
that in a relatively short time the
Jewish people will be able actively to
take tip the task of establishing a
national home in Palestine.
