• Lord Balfour and the Jews
Snt,—May I in tropical language applaud the perfection of Harold Nicolson's article on A. J. Balfour and Jews. At the Peace Conference, to which I accompanied him, Balfour said: "Study Jewish history because a pogrom is due. No one can gauge what that means in mental, moral, intellectual, aesthetic humiliation to Man. It is the Massacre of the innocents—I wish I were a Jew." I. was the only M.P. to help 2,000 here (on to America)—Einstein among them. No Liberal or Labour or doctor.-helped except Horder. Insulted by the Press, I nevertheless held a monster meeting at the Albert Hall. Einstein spoke. Winston said (when meeting Einstein with me) that the meeting saved countless Jews by warning them.—Yours, &c.,
0. LOCKER-LAMPSON.
P.S. Winston., Lloyd George, Balfour, and I were brought up vigorous Protestants, who believe in the coming of a new Saviour when Palestine returns to JeWS.
