The establishment of a Jewish National Home in Palestine was the intention of the German Imperial government if the war had ended differently, declared Count von Bernsdorf, former German Ambassador to the United States, in an address he made at a public meeting held under the auspices of the German Keren Hayesod last night.
During the last year of the World War, negotiations were carried on in Constantinople with the Grand Vizier concerning this subject. He had always objected to the plan because of the contention that the Arabs would massacre the Jews, said Bernsdorf, who was German Ambassador to Constantinople at that time. Count von Bernsdorf further stated that he was now devoted entirely to the propagation of the ideals of the League of Nations, being the representative of the German government to the League, but so long as his strength and ability will allow him, he will devote himself to further the Palestine work.
