Report of the Royal Commission on Alien Immigration

Contains extensive testimony of Dr. Theodor Herzl before the Commission. Quite predictably, while inveighing against the suggested restriction of Jewish immigration from Eastern Europe, Herzl states flatly that the ultimate solution to the sufferings of the Jewish People can only be in Palestine. Herzl perspicaciously observes that the history of the Jews in Exile is a vicious cycle: Jews flee to a country free of anti-Semitism, and invariably, the increase in their numbers in the new land engenders there the very anti-Semitism they fled from. Sitting on the Commission, among others, was Lord Rothschild (Vol. II, pp. 211-221). The Report provides much detailed information regarding living conditions in the East End of London
