Referring to the recent declaration by Lord Passfield, Charles H. Tuttle, in a statement to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, expressed the earnest hope that the British Government would so shape its policy as to do justice to the Jewish cause in Palestine.
“Matters of religion and of the right and sanctity of freedom of religion have always held a profound part in my life. From my many Jewish friends, from study of Palestine problems, from my knowledge of the important part which Jewish life has always had in the advancement of all things that are fine, I have always had a profound sympathy with the aims of Jews for upbuilding the homeland in Palestine, and I have been deeply impressed by the magnificent progress which they have made against tremendous odds.
“I am happy indeed that the Jewish Telegraphic Agency has accorded me this opportunity to state my views. Let me express then, with the greatest emphasis, my sympathy with the aims of the Jewish people in the Holy Land. This is a common purpose, in which men and women, whether Jew or Gentile, should make common cause. My cooperation in Jewish efforts in Palestine may be counted on.”
