"His Majesty's
Government
has made no alteration in the
policy affecting Palestine," he
stated. "We are trying to do
our best to secure a just solu-
tion for the Jews and we are
seeing to it that their claims
get due consideratio n that will
do them justice, without get-
ting into trouble with the
Arabs. What we are trying to
— do is to preserve the status
quo."
Viscount Halifax then added :
"We are keeping in constant touch
with Jewish spokesmen and Zion-
ist leaders, and we understand
each other."
In response to the question as
to whether there has been a
change in Great Britain's atti-

"There is no people for whom
the British have felt a greater
measure of sympathy than for
the Jews."
Edward Frederick Lindley Wood,
the third Viscount Halifax, Brit-
ish ambassador to the United
States, the former British For-
eign Minister, made this state-
ment at a press conference at
the Book-Cadillac Hotel on Mon-
day morning, shortly after he
arrived in Detroit to inspect the
arms-manufacturing plants.
Viscount Halifax's statement
followed his answers to two ques-
tions put to him by this repre-
sentative of The Detroit Jewish
Chronicle: one on Britain's pres-
ent attitude on the Jewish posi-
tion in Palestine and the possi-
bility of his government imple-
menting the Balfour Declaration;
the other whether there has been
a change in Great Britain's plans
for the formation of a specific
Jewish army unit to fight against
Germany.
The British ambassador spoke
haltingly in answer to the first
question. lie hesitated and it was
