Sir Charles Trevelyan, British Minister of Education, expressed great sympathy for the establishment of the Jewish National Home in Palestine, according to a letter addressed to a Jewish friend of his which was made public today.
“I am entirely sympathetic with executing the Mandate and promoting the establishment in Palestine of a national home for Jews,” Sir Charles wrote. Referring to the widely criticized White Paper on Palestine, Sir Charles stated that “some interpretation placed upon the White Paper was mistaken and all misunderstandings will be cleared up.”
