That was said. of course. in the period of 1920. 25 years ago. Mr. Williams goes on to say: No government can guarantee that a Jewish state shall be set up in Palestine. Quite obviously. economic development will determine the progress of immigration and the date. should there be a date. when a Jewish state can be set up. But it is clear that Lord Balfour did visualize the possibility of a Jewish state. That seems to me to be very clear.
