The King's message to Palestine was read before an imposing assem blage at Jerusalem July 7 by Sir Herbert Samuel, the High Commissioner. It begins by recalling that the Allies have entrusted to Britain the mandate to watch over the interests of Palestine and to insure to that country the so long been peaceful and prosperous development which has denied it. It recalls proudly the large part British under General Allenby, played in freeing Palestine from cule. It declares that His Majesty will indeed rejoice if he and his people can also be instruments in bringing within Palestine's reach the blessings of a wise and liberal administration. It gives an assurance that the duties of the mandatory Power will be carried out with absolute. impartiality and the British Government is determined to respect the rights of every race and creed in Palestine in the future. Measures for the gradual establishment of a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine will in no way affect civil or religious rights or diminish the prosperity of the general population. The King is confident that Str Herbert Samuel will carry out these principles wholeheartedly and effecti- vely and endeavour to promote in everyway possible the welfare and unity. of all classes and sections. The message concludes "I realise profoundly the solemnity of the trust involved in the Government of a country which is sacred alike to Christian, Mohammedan and Jew and I shall watch with deep interest and warm sympathy the future progress and development of
a State whose history has been of such tremendous import to the world.
