" « Perhaps I am partly responsible for the Samuel chapter. In this gathering there is no-one who had more to do with and was more pleased at the appointment of Sir Herbert Samuel than I. Samuel is our friend, and has worked loyally with us from the first moment. At our request, fortified by our moral support, he accepted the difficult position. (…) But he is our Samuel; he is a product of our Judaism. » "
