Dear Lord Rothschild, I have much
pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His
Majesty's Government, the following declaration
of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which
has been submitted to, and approved by, the
Cabinet. "His Majesty's Government view with
favour the establishment in Palestine of a
national home for the Jewish people, and will use
their best endeavours to facilitate the
achievement of this object, it being clearly
understood that nothing shall be done which may
prejudice the civil and religious rights of
existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or
the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews
in any other country." I should be grateful if
you would bring this declaration to the knowledge
of the Zionist Federation. Yours
sincerely,Arthur James Balfour
