In the Holy Land

Lord Balfour, ardent protagonist of Zionism (TIME, Mar. 9), arrived in the Holy Land. At Jaffa, he received a tremendous welcome from all except the Arabs, who kept well to the background.

In a speech, the aged British statesman declared that British policy would never be reversed. This brought forth volleys of enthusiastic cheers. Dr. Chaim Weizmann (TIME, Feb. 23, RELIGION), blessed King George, Lord Balfour and Sir Herbert Samuel, High Commissioner for Palestine.
