Replying to greetings, the High Commissioner said that it was always his hope to see “the only all-Jewish city in the world.” He called upon the Jews “to dispel bitterness” from their hearts. I would like you to have my assurance of sympathy and understanding,” he stated. “We require cooperation to ensure a better future.”
