In a statement given to the Jewish Daily Bulletin on the eve of his departure Mr. Warburg declared : “As far as my information goes, the spirit displayed at the Zionist Congress in Zurich augurs well for a successful going into action of the joint forces which we all hope and trust will devote themselves to the steady and successful development of Palestine. This development will not only benefit the Jewish population but, at the same time, also the other inhabitants of that country under the cooperating government of the British Mandate power.”
