The I.Q. onJEWS andJUDAISM COPYRIGHTRD The BALFOUR DECLARATION By REV. M. ZEIDHAN, B.D., Ph. D. Scott Mission, Toronto, Canada Q. Why it this famous document called the "Belfour Declaration"? A . Because It wet Lord Balfour, at Lord
most powerful military combin' t‘ - - tic world ever has seen. We came to the conclusion It was most vital we should have the sympathy and co-operation of that most remarkable community—the Jews throughout the world. They were helpful in America and even In Russia. We proposed this to the allies. France, Italy, tnc United States, and all the others accepted. I bear testimony to the fact that the Jews responded to appeal which was made. I do not know whether the House realises how much we owe to Dr. Chaim Weixmann, that marvelous scientist. He absolutely saved the British army at a critical moment when a particular Ingredient, essential for our great guns, was abso lutely exhausted. This great chemical genius solved the problem, and he was only one of many who rendered great service to the Allied cause.” Q. What should the Christian attitude be toward Jewish aspirations in Palestine? A . Christians are enjoined to pray for the Jewish people (Ps. 122), and do all in their power to ameliorate their suffer ing, and treat them in all Christian fair ness and mercy; but at the same time, Christians cannot approve any violence, or the encouragement of violence, or any appearance of evil, which is con trary to Christian view of the plan of God in the prophetic teaching of the Bible. Q. What Is the teaching of the Scott Mis sion in regards to the return of the Jews to Palestine? A . We believe- that God will “ arise and have mercy upon Zion, for the time to favour her, yea, the SET TIME, is come" (Ps. 102), We believe that God has a "set time" for Israel: that He that "scattered" will “ gather" them again only In His “ set time"
President of the Council, who wrote the letter to Lord Rothschild, the Jewish Peer, offering through him to the Jewish people, Palestine as a Jewish National Home. Q. When was that Declaration proclaimed? A . The Balfour Declaration was proclaimed to the world in November, 1917, about a month before the actual capture of Jerusalem by General Allenby. Q . What were the terms of the Balfour Declaration? A . It declared that “ His Majesty’s Govern ment views with favour the establish ment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use Its best endeavors to facilitate the achieve ment of that object; it being under stood that nothing shall be done that may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jcwish communi ties in Palestine, or the rights and po litical status of Jews in any other coun- try.“ Q. How did it come to pass that Great Britain, with the approval of the United States of America, France, Italy, and other nations, made such an offer to the Jewish people In the first place? A . The Right Honourable, the fate David Lloyd George, who was Prime Minister of Great Britain from late In 1916 until 1922, declared that the promise of the National Home by Lord Balfour “ was made at one of the darkest times in the war (of 1914-1918). The French army had mutinied, the Italian army was on the eve of collapse, America had hardly started to come in. There was nothing left but for Great Britain to confront the
