How much better it would be if today we could rise and say that Great Britain. a democratic nation. had kept its solemnly pledged word? How can we speak of the sanctity of treaties when nations. for the sake. of expediency. repudiate their solemnly pledged word? A promise was made by Great Britain to open the gates of immigration into the Holy Land so that Jews could establish there a national homeland. Had that promise been kept. then thousands upon thousands of Jews whose bones litter the fields of Europe. and thousands upon thousands more whose ashes have been scattered to the four winds. might be living today in peace in Palestine. No nation can escape its share of the dreadful responsibility for what has happened in Europe.
