Messages of regret and sorrow at the passing of Lord Balfour continue to pour in from all parts of the world. Today the Jewish Daily Bulletin and Jewish Telegraphic Agency received statements from: Dr. Albert Einstein, Jan Christian Smuts, Alfred N. Cohen, president Independent Order B’nai B’rith; Judge William M. Lewis, Philadelphia; Sir Ronald Lindsay, new British Ambassador to the United States, Mrs. Rebekah Kohut and Dr. Nathan Krass, and A. L. Saltzstein, Milwaukee.

In Jerusalem, resident leaders of the Zionist movement also gave vent to expressions of sorrow and regret and everywhere Jews are planning memorial meetings for the author of the Balfour Declaration. Messages were also received from Tytus Filipowicz, Polish Ambassador to the United States, and Archibald J. Freiman, president of the Canadian Zionist Federation.
