In addition to Lord Balfour’s statement, which is reproduced in facsimile in this issue, the “Jewish Daily Bulletin” was in receipt of congratulatory messages from many European statesmen and non-Jewish leaders on the occasion of the ninth anniversary of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency and the one thousandth issue of the “Jewish Daily Bulletin.”
DR. EDOUARD BENES, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Czechoslovakia. “On the occasion of the ninth anniversary of the foundation of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency I wish to take advantage of the opportunity of expressing my admiration for the work it performs so well, and to wish it continued success in the future.”
PROFESSOR GILBERT MURRAY, Chairman, Executive Committee of League of Nations Union, London. “I congratulate the Jewish Telegraphic Agency and the “Jewish Daily Bulletin” on the long and useful span of life which they have just fulfilled. I always feel that the Jewish race has a unique part to play in knitting together the nations of the world. It is a race that has suffered more than any other from the senseless prejudices and passions which the various groups of human beings seem to enjoy nursing against one another. It has spread all over the world and is in a particularly favorable position for interpreting nation to nation and teaching the world the message it has learnt from its own experience. I am convinced that your ‘Bulletin’ and your Agency are able to render very real service to the cause of international cooperation.”
J. L. GARVIN. editor “The Observer,” London. “Pray accept from me as a colleague my heartiest congratulations upon the thousandth issue of the ‘Jewish Daily Bulletin.’ It is a service not only to your great people but to thoughtful students of affairs passing throughout the world. May it go forward for thousands of issues more.”
COL. JOSIAH C. WEDGEWOOD, M. P., London. “Good luck to the J. T. A. You ask for a message on your 1000th issue. I have no message. The Gentiles, now, expect that from you Jews. ‘The reborn nation has its message to give by example; pride without arrogance, sympathy without patronage; nationalism without hatred.”
LT. COMMANDER J. M. KENWORTHY, M. P., London. “I have been able to receive news through the Jewish Telegraphic Agency which I could not have had from any other source and it has made it possible for me on occasions to raise my voice in the British House of Commons in protest against ill-usage of poor Jews in many countries with, I am glad to say, in some cases satisfactory results.
“Long may the Agency flourish and may the ‘Jewish Daily Bulletin’ continue to flash over the cables and through the ether in the service of the great Jewish people and of humanity in general.”
AHMED MOUKHTAR. Turkish Ambassador to the United States. “I am happy to congratulate the ‘Jewish Daily Bulletin’ upon the occasion of its 1000th issue, also the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, upon its ninth anniversary.”
