The Jews will attain their goal in Palestine if they exercise patience, Lord Plumer, former High Commissioner of Palestine, told M. Nurock, a Jewish deputy from Latvia, who was delegate to the Inter-parliamentary Congress. Speaking to M. Nurock during a reception given to the delegates by the head of the Latvian delegation, Lord Plumer said that the Jews have no reason to despair.
Pointing out that Dr. Weizmann understood that the Jews must have patience, Lord Plumer said that he believed progress would be slow but nevertheless the Jews would attain their goal.
