Colonel Josiah Wedgwood, M.P., will attend the Zionist Congress in Zurich. His purpose in attending the Zionist Congress is to popularize the Seventh Dominion idea.
“I am starting a Seventh Dominion League,” he declared, “with the object of getting English people to recognize the vital importance to the British Empire of retaining Palestine within the bounds of the Empire as a self-governing Dominion.
“The question is whether we can persuade the Americans that that is the right thing, for it is the American Jews who find the money. The difficulty now is that the Zionist Executive has to be impartial in the matter. I do not want, when the mandate comes to an end in regard to Palestine, for the population to be one that does not want to keep to England. I do not want a population whose one object is to break away. If we can, we want to establish friendly relations now. If we wait for another twenty years before we visualize Palestine and England working together, we shall get the same bitter antagonism to us which exists in India and Egypt,” he said.
