Rema on George Curzon, 1st Marquess Curzon of Kedleston

“The British people realise that they are fighting for the hegemony of the Empire. If necessary we shall continue the war single-handed.”

“How was it proposed to get rid of the existing majority of Mussulman inhabitants and to introduce the Jews in their place? How many would be willing to return and in what pursuits would they engage? To secure for the Jews already in Palestine equal civil and religious rights seemed to him a better policy than to aim at repatriation on a large scale. He regarded the latter as sentimental idealism, which would never be realised, and that His Majesty's Government should have nothing to do with.”
