“The facts show that the crisis in Palestine is much more Jewish than general, and render it very questionable whether we have a right to regard as so many of us do the Balfour Declaration. Was it something substantial and tangible, a ##reat permanent light in the political heavens, and does it so still exist? Or was in but a nebula that illumined the sky ten years ago but is now fast resolving into mere gaseous haze? As a tribute to a great and honored personality, a rare and true friend of our people, the dinner that is to be given to Lord Balfour is admirable. We wish there were reason to regard it also as a recognition that his policy in respect to Palestine and the Jews had been the triumph which it so fully deserved to be,” the paper writes.
