The Jewish nation. which we hope may be established. will bear the same relation to the Jewish people throughout the world that the Irish Government bears to the IrishAmericans throughout the world. or the Italian Government to Italians who have left their homeland and settled elsewhere. The Jewish people are a race just as are all other races. but a race which has no country in which it constitutes the majority. There is no suggestion that the Jews of this country would have any closer relationship to this new Jewish state than that which a Norwegian emigrant. or the NorwegianAmerican in this country. feels toward the people of Norway. and certainly there is no thought or suggestion of establishing a religious state. I have supported this resolution and propose to continue to support it. but I believe that the Palestine plan affords the only solution of the Jewish problem. I might say that there is an additional factor which should be favored.
